Sing to the King – Billy Foote
1st Scripture Lesson: Opening Meditation
Psalm 149 (NLT) ; 詩 篇 149 (CUVS)
1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song.
Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.
2 O Israel, rejoice in your Maker.
O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.
3 Praise his name with dancing,
accompanied by tambourine and harp.
4 For the Lord delights in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
5 Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.
Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.
6 Let the praises of God be in their mouths,
and a sharp sword in their hands—
7 to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8 to bind their kings with shackles
and their leaders with iron chains,
9 to execute the judgment written against them.
This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!
149 你 们 要 赞 美 耶 和 华 ! 向 耶 和 华 唱 新 歌 , 在 圣 民 的 会 中 赞 美 他 !
2 愿 以 色 列 因 造 他 的 主 欢 喜 ! 愿 锡 安 的 民 因 他 们 的 王 快 乐 !
3 愿 他 们 跳 舞 赞 美 他 的 名 , 击 鼓 弹 琴 歌 颂 他 !
4 因 为 耶 和 华 喜 爱 他 的 百 姓 ; 他 要 用 救 恩 当 作 谦 卑 人 的 妆 饰 。
5 愿 圣 民 因 所 得 的 荣 耀 高 兴 ! 愿 他 们 在 床 上 欢 呼 !
6 愿 他 们 口 中 称 赞 神 为 高 , 手 里 有 两 刃 的 刀 ,
7 为 要 报 复 列 邦 , 刑 罚 万 民 。
8 要 用 炼 子 捆 他 们 的 君 王 , 用 铁 镣 锁 他 们 的 大 臣 ;
9 要 在 他 们 身 上 施 行 所 记 录 的 审 判 。 他 的 圣 民 都 有 这 荣 耀 。 你 们 要 赞 美 耶 和 华 !

Be still and know that I am God. ~ Psalm 46:10
你 们 要 休 息 , 要 知 道 我 是 神 !~ 詩 篇 46:10

There is a lot of noise in the world. People talk, or watch videos, or listen to music, or play the piano, or hammer, or mow the lawn, or vacuum, or watch TV. Sometimes people argue, or shout, or cry, or sing, or the phone rings. Sometimes the noise comes from outside: thunder or rainstorms or birds or dogs or car alarms or dump trucks. Sometimes my head gets too full of noise!
Our verse today is from a worship song in the Bible. It tells us to be still. Be silent. Listen. And know that God is God. How will being quiet help us know that?
When there is a lot of noise, it is hard to hear people talking to us. It’s the same with God. If our mind is busy listening to something else, we can’t think about God. But when we are quiet, we can pay attention to the beautiful world he made us. When we are still inside, we can tell God about the things that are important to us. When we are still and quiet, like the girls in the picture, then God can let us know he is there.
Our Father, thank you that you gave us ears to hear things in the world. Thank you that you love us and want us to know you too. Help us find ways to be quiet and still so we can hear from you as well as from the world. Amen
2nd Scripture Lesson:
Romans 13:8-14 (NLT) ; 羅 馬 書 13:8-14 (CUVS)
8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. 9 For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.
11 This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
8 凡 事 都 不 可 亏 欠 人 , 惟 有 彼 此 相 爱 要 常 以 为 亏 欠 , 因 为 爱 人 的 就 完 全 了 律 法 。
9 像 那 不 可 奸 淫 , 不 可 杀 人 , 不 可 偷 盗 , 不 可 贪 婪 , 或 有 别 的 诫 命 , 都 包 在 爱 人 如 己 这 一 句 话 之 内 了 。
10 爱 是 不 加 害 与 人 的 , 所 以 爱 就 完 全 了 律 法 。
11 再 者 , 你 们 晓 得 现 今 就 是 该 趁 早 睡 醒 的 时 候 ; 因 为 我 们 得 救 , 现 今 比 初 信 的 时 候 更 近 了 。
12 黑 夜 已 深 , 白 昼 将 近 ; 我 们 就 当 脱 去 暗 昧 的 行 为 , 带 上 光 明 的 兵 器 。
13 行 事 为 人 要 端 正 , 好 像 行 在 白 昼 。 不 可 荒 宴 醉 酒 , 不 可 好 色 邪 荡 , 不 可 争 竞 嫉 妒 ;
14 总 要 披 戴 主 耶 稣 基 督 , 不 要 为 肉 体 安 排 , 去 放 纵 私 欲 。

3rd Scripture Lesson
Ezekiel 33:7-11 (NLT) ; 以 西 結 書 33:7-11 (CUVS)
7 “Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Therefore, listen to what I say and warn them for me. 8 If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 9 But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.
10 “Son of man, give the people of Israel this message: You are saying, ‘Our sins are heavy upon us; we are wasting away! How can we survive?’ 11 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?
7 人 子 啊 , 我 照 样 立 你 作 以 色 列 家 守 望 的 人 。 所 以 你 要 听 我 口 中 的 话 , 替 我 警 戒 他 们 。
8 我 对 恶 人 说 : 恶 人 哪 , 你 必 要 死 ! 你 ─ 以 西 结 若 不 开 口 警 戒 恶 人 , 使 他 离 开 所 行 的 道 , 这 恶 人 必 死 在 罪 孽 之 中 , 我 却 要 向 你 讨 他 丧 命 的 罪 ( 原 文 是 血 ) 。
9 倘 若 你 警 戒 恶 人 转 离 所 行 的 道 , 他 仍 不 转 离 , 他 必 死 在 罪 孽 之 中 , 你 却 救 自 己 脱 离 了 罪 。
10 人 子 啊 , 你 要 对 以 色 列 家 说 : 你 们 常 说 : 我 们 的 过 犯 罪 恶 在 我 们 身 上 , 我 们 必 因 此 消 灭 , 怎 能 存 活 呢 ?
11 你 对 他 们 说 , 主 耶 和 华 说 : 我 指 着 我 的 永 生 起 誓 , 我 断 不 喜 悦 恶 人 死 亡 , 惟 喜 悦 恶 人 转 离 所 行 的 道 而 活 。 以 色 列 家 啊 , 你 们 转 回 , 转 回 罢 ! 离 开 恶 道 , 何 必 死 亡 呢 ?

4th Scripture Lesson
Matthew 18:15-20 (NLT) ; 馬 太 福 音 18:15-20 (CUVS)
15 “If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. 16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. 17 If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.
18 “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
15 倘 若 你 的 弟 兄 得 罪 你 , 你 就 去 , 趁 着 只 有 他 和 你 在 一 处 的 时 候 , 指 出 他 的 错 来 。 他 若 听 你 , 你 便 得 了 你 的 弟 兄 ;
16 他 若 不 听 , 你 就 另 外 带 一 两 个 人 同 去 , 要 凭 两 三 个 人 的 口 作 见 证 , 句 句 都 可 定 准 。
17 若 是 不 听 他 们 , 就 告 诉 教 会 ; 若 是 不 听 教 会 , 就 看 他 像 外 邦 人 和 税 吏 一 样 。
18 我 实 在 告 诉 你 们 , 凡 你 们 在 地 上 所 捆 绑 的 , 在 天 上 也 要 捆 绑 ; 凡 你 们 在 地 上 所 释 放 的 , 在 天 上 也 要 释 放 。
19 我 又 告 诉 你 们 , 若 是 你 们 中 间 有 两 个 人 在 地 上 同 心 合 意 的 求 甚 麽 事 , 我 在 天 上 的 父 必 为 他 们 成 全 。
20 因 为 无 论 在 那 里 , 有 两 三 个 人 奉 我 的 名 聚 会 , 那 里 就 有 我 在 他 们 中 间 。
