9Marks Journal: Living As a Church (Part 1) (21期:教会的团契生活(上))

There’s plenty of material out there on living the Christian life. But there’s not so much, from what we can tell, on living together as a church.

To help with that deficit, 9Marks is using this issue to present pastors and churches with what we believe is a useful tool, a short class on living together as a local church. If you’ve never provided your congregation with an opportunity to meditate together on what it means to live together as a church, we hope you’ll take a look at this material. Teach it yourself; let a young man you’re discipling teach it; or let it prompt you to write your own class. The thirteen classes below were originally taught in a Sunday School format, but feel free to change and adapt the material for whatever format best serves your purposes—small group, weekend retreat, maybe even a sermon series. All free.

Thanks from 9Marks goes to CHBC elders Jamie Dunlop and Papu Sandhu, as well as Third Avenue Baptist Church elder Greg Gilbert, for writing and re-writing this material.

市面上有许多关于基督徒个人生活的书籍。但是据我们了解,关于教会群体生活的资源非常少。

为了填补这方面的不足,九标志借着这期的内容,提供给牧师和教会有用的工具,它是一系列的课程,主题是地方教会的团契生活。如果你从来没有帮助会众一起思想教会团契生活的意义,我们盼望你看一看这个课程,并且亲自教导;让你正在门训的年轻弟兄也来教导;或者让它促进你自己编写教程。以下十三课源于教会成人主日学,但欢迎大家改编成适合你目标的形式—小组,周末退修,或者系列讲道。完全开放版权。

九标志特此感谢国会山浸信会长老邓杰明(Jamie Dunlop)和帕普·桑杜,以及第三大道浸信会牧师格雷格·吉尔伯特(Greg Gilbert)参与编写此课程及相关文章。

本期期刊将刊登第1-8课。
