12 Keys of Successful Ministry (Keys 11-12) and
Part 1 of “Vine out of Egypt” (Psalm 80:8-11)
1. Once a Sunday school teacher was teaching on the ten-commandments. He wanted to ask some small children a question. 有一次，以为主日学老师正教导有关十诫的课程。当时他问了小学生们一个问题
2. He started: “If you took all the money from my wallet, what would you be you? 他这么开始：“如果你从我钱包里拿走了我所有的钱，你就会是个什么？”
3. He looked around and asked a boy, “Yes John, what do you think? 他仔细的看了看周围后问一个小男孩, “约翰，你呢？你在想什么?”
4. The small boy piped up. “Your wife!!” 那小男孩极快的回应道:＂你的老婆！！＂
5. That boy needs to repent! 这男孩需要悔改。
6. It does show though that sometimes no matter how often we hear something, we may not get what it means or what the speaker means. Even though we say, “Yes!” Our “Yes!” means “I think I know what you mean”. 这证明了，一些东西，无论我们听了多少遍，我们或许没有完全得着它真正的意思或是布道者的含义。即使我们说“是的！”我们的“是”只表示“我相信我明白你的意思。”
7. If you want to know why we stress ‘Care-Groups’, please join me for Bible Study in the library at 1pm. We are studying “The Principals, Biblical Basis and Purpose for Home Based Care-Groups.” Starting with ‘Biblical Principles of Christian Fellowship’ (基督徒相交的聖經原則) 如果你想知道为什么我们这么强调“关怀小组”，请你在１点参加我们的查经组。我们学习“圣经基础和家庭关怀组的目的”并由＇圣经原则的基督徒团契＇

11. Psalm 80:8 You brought a grapevine out of Egypt; You drove out other nations and planted it in their land. 9. You cleared a place for it to grow; Its roots went deep, And it spread out over the whole land. 10 It covered the hills with its shade; Its branches overshadowed the giant cedars. 11. It extended its branches to the Mediterranean Sea And as far as the Euphrates River.
12. Now in Chinese: 中文版诗篇 80:8 你从埃及挪出一棵葡萄树，赶出外邦人，把这树栽上。 9 你在这树根前预备了地方，他就深深扎根，爬满了地。 10 他的影子遮满了山，枝子好像佳美的香柏树。 11 他发出枝子，长到大海，发出蔓子，延到大河。
13. Let’s Pray: “Father, thank you that we are growing in Christ and growing in the Holy Spirit． We want to grow in Ministry． We want to grow in Fruitfulness, By your Grace and for your Glory． Help us today, Help us to understand your word. We put aside the cares of this life． Its pleasures, treasures all our concerns, We give them to you. Open our heart and minds To receive your word this morning And give us strength to obey what we hear In Jesus’ Name, Amen！
14. 亲爱的父，谢谢你让我们能在基督里和圣灵里成长。 通过你的恩典和荣耀， 我们愿意也在侍奉上和果效上成长。 求你今天帮助我们明白你的话语。 我们愿意把所有的忧虑和所有舒适的负担谢下来， 把它们都交托在你脚前。 求你起开我们的心眼来领受今天早晨你向我们所说的话语。 也求你赐我们力量去遵行我们所听见的。 奉主耶稣的名求，阿门.

29. Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Use your ministry to build others. Don’t usｅ others to build your ministry. 你愿人怎么待你，就以同样的态度待他人。用你的事工来造就他人。不要用他人的事工来造就你自己。

37. Psalm 15:1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who shall dwell in Your tabernacle? Who shall dwell on Your holy hill? 2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart; 3 he does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; 诗篇 15:1 （大卫的诗。） 耶和华啊，谁能寄居你的帐幕？谁能住在你圣山？ 2 就是行为正直、做事公义、心里说实话的人。3 他不以舌头谗谤人，不恶待朋友，也不随夥毁谤邻里。

40. This is the ultimate compliment that could be given to a human being. If I die before Jesus returns, then I want on my grave these words. 一个人所能得到的最美好的贺词是：如果我在耶稣降临之前先死的话，我愿意自己的墓碑上刻有此类字句：
41. “Here lies Chris, a man after God’s Heart. He fulfilled God’s will. He lived what he said.” “Chris卧在这里，他是一个跟随神心意的人。他成就了神的旨意。他活出了所说的一切。”
42. Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: He who is Holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts; and shuts and no one opens, says these things:啟示錄3:7 「你要写信给非拉铁非教会的使者，说：『那圣洁、真实、拿著大卫的钥匙、开了就没有人能关、关了就没有人能开的，

You drove out other nations c. and planted it in their land. 9 You cleared a place for it to grow; Its roots went deep, And it spread out over the whole land. 10 It covered the hills with its shade; Its branches overshadowed the giant cedars. 11. It extended its branches to the Mediterranean Sea。 And as far as the Euphrates River.

And he said to him, Go back again, for what have I done to you? 21 And he turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave it to the people, and they ate. And he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.
71. 列王纪 19:19 於是，以利亚离开那里走了，遇见沙法的儿子以利沙耕地；在他前头有十二对牛，自己赶著第十二对。以利亚到他那里去，将自己的外衣搭在他身上。20 以利沙就离开牛，跑到以利亚那里，说：「求你容我先与父母亲嘴，然後我便跟随你。」以利亚对他说：「你回去吧，我向你做了什麽呢？」 21 以利沙就离开他回去，宰了一对牛，用套牛的器具煮肉给民吃，随後就起身跟随以利亚，服事他。

77. When you do something that just makes you feel good, instead of helping others, that’s not from God.
78. When something brings division rather than unity in this church, that’s not from God, but from man, self or satan.

79. When you are not spiritually satisfied with your relationship with God, then you become open to the temptation to fulfil the deep longing for satisfaction with something other than God.
