Serving God’s Church Together

“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counsellors there is safety.”Proverbs 11:14

Yesterday, I had the privilege of preaching at Hosanna 153 Church and praying for four newly appointed church council members. Having known them since the church was established in 2018, it was especially meaningful to witness their willingness to embrace this sacred responsibility.

The occasion reminded me that the spiritual health of a church depends not only on sound biblical preaching and effective ministries, but also on the character, wisdom, and faithfulness of its leaders.

Proverbs 11:14 highlights the importance of godly counsel. No pastor is called to carry the burdens of ministry alone. God raises up faithful men and women to serve alongside their pastor, share responsibilities, and prayerfully discern His direction together.

Serving on a church council is more than holding a position; it is a sacred trust and a calling to servant leadership. It requires spiritual maturity, humility, integrity, and a genuine love for Christ and His Church.

Faithful council members support their pastor, uphold biblical principles, and safeguard the spiritual well-being of the congregation. Healthy leadership thrives through mutual trust, honest communication, and shared submission to Christ. It requires speaking the truth in love, listening with humility, and pursuing unity without compromising biblical convictions.

May these four council members serve with wisdom, courage, and humility, strengthening their pastor and congregation as Hosanna 153 Church grows in faithfulness to God’s Word.

Prayer:  
Heavenly Father, grant these council members wisdom, humility, courage, and discernment. Help them serve alongside their pastor in love and unity, always seeking Your will. May their leadership strengthen Your Church and glorify Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

同心合意，服事神的教会

“无智谋，民就败落；谋士多，人便安居。”  
箴言 11:14

昨天，我有幸受邀到和散那153 教会讲道，并为四位新任教会理事祝福祷告。自2018年教会成立以来，我便认识他们。如今看见他们甘心承担服事神和祂子民的神圣托付，心中倍感欣慰。

这次经历再次提醒我，教会的属灵健康，不仅取决于纯正的圣经教导和有效的事工，也与领袖的品格、智慧和忠心息息相关。

箴言11:14强调敬虔劝勉的重要。神从未呼召牧者独自承担所有牧养的重担。祂兴起忠心的弟兄姐妹，与牧者并肩服事、分担责任，并同心祷告，寻求神的带领。

担任教会理事，不只是接受一个职位，更是一份神圣的托付，也是效法基督、谦卑服事的呼召。 这需要属灵的成熟、谦卑、正直，以及对基督和祂教会真诚的爱。

忠心的理事应当支持牧者、持守圣经真理，并关顾会众的属灵生命。健康的领导团队建立在彼此信任、坦诚沟通和共同顺服基督的基础上。理事应以爱心说诚实话，谦卑聆听，并在不妥协真理的前提下竭力追求合一。

衡量属灵领导的真正标准，不在于职位或权柄，而在于是否忠于基督，甘心服事祂的子民。

愿这四位理事以智慧、勇气和谦卑的心忠心服事，与牧者同心同行，使 Hosanna 153 教会在真道上不断成长。

祷告：  
亲爱的天父，求祢赐给这四位理事智慧、谦卑、勇气和属灵的分辨力。帮助他们与牧者同心合意，以爱心服事，凡事寻求祢的旨意。愿他们的服事坚固教会，荣耀基督。奉主耶稣的圣名祷告，阿们！
