Advent 是將要來臨的意思。
待降節(Advent)是讓我們回想起兩千多年前耶穌以嬰孩的樣式降生於世的時刻。
待降節(Advent)也是讓耶穌現今以更有意義的方式進入我們的心中的時刻。
對於我們而言,待降節這段時間,可以看做是預備迎接聖誕的一段時間,而非只是一天的慶祝。在這時間當中,我們可以藉著每週在教會當中點燃的燭光,耶穌降生的慶祝,以及上帝使用如同我們一般普通的人,來傳講的不同凡響的聖誕故事,預備我們迎接耶穌的降臨。
傳統上,待降節開始於聖誕節前的第四個週日 (通常都是感恩節後的那個的週日),並且每週都會有一個專注的主題。今年教會將採用【Walking with Jesus: Devotions for Advent & Christmas】為每日靈修材料。灵修书籍亚马逊书店链接。
所選的四個主題如下:
12/3-9 盼望 Hope
12/10-16 平安 Peace
12/17-23 喜樂 Joy
12/24-25 愛 Love
誠摯地邀請並鼓勵福音堂的各位家人們,一起來參加這個預備迎接聖誕的禱告靈修與改變的計劃,讓我們每天從讀經、默想、靈修及禱告來與主同行,迎接聖誕並等候主的再來。
在每日清晨透過短視頻與教會的牧師,跟著靈修進度一起靈修,讓我們在這條靜候聖誕,等候主再來的路上不覺孤單,因為我們正一起往前迎接主耶穌。
請大家保存待降節讀經播放列表,打開CGCM YouTube頻道通知,每天早晨6點會有新的讀經視頻發佈。

Devotional Prayer Plan for CGCM Advent 2023
Advent means coming.
It is a time when we reflect on the moment in history when Jesus came into the word as a baby two thousand years ago.
It is also a time when we can allow Him to come into our hearts in more meaningful ways today.
For all of us, Advent could be a time of preparation which provides an opportunity to experience Christmas—the glow of the candles, the celebration of the birth, and the beauty of the story of God using ordinary people in extraordinary ways—for more than a day.
Traditionally, Advent begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas (usually right after Thanksgiving in November) and focuses on four themes. For this year, those themes are:
12/3-9 盼望Hope
12/10-16 平安Peace
12/17-23 喜樂Joy
12/24-25 愛Love
This year, we will adopt “Walking with Jesus: Devotions for Advent & Christmas” to be our devotional resource. In every morning, there is one pastor leading the devotion.
I invite and encourage all my brothers and sisters at CGCM to join this Advent devotional praying plan to read, mediate, pray and walk in Christ every day. Let us have a different Christmas this year and prepare to walk with the Lord in the new year.
Please save the playlist of Bible readings for the Advent and open the CGCM YouTube channel notification. New Bible reading videos will be released at 6am every morning.
