主日信息      一個人不能事奉二個主 黃惠仁牧師

經文:路加福音16:1-15
1 耶穌又對門徒說:「有一個財主的管家,別人向他主人告他浪費主人的財物。
2 主人叫他來,對他說:『我聽見你這事,怎麼樣呢?把你所經管的交代明白,因你不能再作我的管家。』
3 那管家心裏說:『主人辭我,不用我再作管家,我將來作甚麼?鋤地呢?無力;討飯呢?怕羞。
4 我知道怎麼行,好叫人在我不作管家之後,接我到他們家裏去。』
5 於是把欠他主人債的,一個一個地叫了來;問頭一個說:『你欠我主人多少?』
6 他說:『一百簍(每簍約五十斤)油。』管家說:『拿你的帳,快坐下,寫五十。』
7 又問一個說:『你欠多少?』他說:『一百石麥子。』管家說:『拿你的帳,寫八十。』
8 主人就誇獎這不義的管家作事聰明,因為今世之子,在世事之上,較比光明之子更加聰明。
9 我又告訴你們,要藉著那不義的錢財結交朋友,到了錢財無用的時候,他們可以接你們到永存的帳幕裏去。
10 人在最小的事上忠心,在大事上也忠心;在最小的事上不義,在大事上也不義。
11 倘若你們在不義的錢財上不忠心,誰還把那真實的錢財託付你們呢?
12 倘若你們在別人的東西上不忠心,誰還把你們自己的東西給你們呢?
13 一個僕人不能事奉兩個主,不是惡這個,愛那個,就是重這個,輕那個;你們不能又事奉神,又事奉瑪門。」
14 法利賽人是貪愛錢財的,他們聽見這一切話,就嗤笑耶穌。
15 耶穌對他們說:「你們是在人面前自稱為義的;你們的心,神卻知道,因為人所尊貴的,是神看為可憎惡的。

引言:Christians' biggest problem bear no fruits. No spiritual fruit and lead no one to the Lord.
Their eyesight is short- not in eternity.

大綱:1. Learn from the Parable(vv1-9):
Why did the master commend the dishonest manager?

The punching point of the parable is in verse 9.

The only way to through Jesus Christ, and we practice our faith through keep on doing what God requires (ref Matt. 25:31-46)

2. Serve God only (vv10-15) with three hearts:
a. Faithful (忠心) in little things; in what has been entrusted to us (vv10-12)

b. Devotion (専心) life of tent making; how to store up treasures in heaven (v13)

c. Whole-heatedly (全心) before God vs. before man; integrity and transparent; be pleasing to God (vv14-15)

結論: be willing to be changed and devoted yourself to God.

16:3 論到世上的聖民,他們又美又善,是我最喜悅的。

16:11 你必將生命的道路指示我。在你面前有滿足的喜樂,在你右手中有永遠的福樂。

合上帝心意的服事!(撒母耳記上13-31章) 鄒仁鴻牧師

I、不合上帝心意的服事:
A.不該獻祭的掃羅王(13:8-14):
B.彎曲上帝命令的掃羅王(15:17-23):
C.失去聖靈的王(16:14):

G.殺上帝祭司的王(22:11-19):
H.忘恩負義的王(24-26章):
I.交鬼的王(28章):
※撒母耳說:「耶和華喜悅燔祭和平安祭,豈如喜悅人聽從他的話呢?聽命勝於獻祭,順從勝於公羊的脂油。悖逆的罪與行邪術的罪相等,頑梗的罪與拜虛神和偶像的罪相同;你既厭棄耶和華的命令,耶和華也厭棄你作王。」(15:22-23)
But Samuel replied: "Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king."
