主題:成為箭袋充滿的家
于宏潔 5/14/2023
主題經文:1 若不是耶和華建造房屋,建造的人就枉然勞力;若不是耶和華看守城池,看
守的人就枉然警醒。2 你們清晨早起,夜晚安歇,吃勞碌得來的飯,本是枉
然;惟有耶和華所親愛的,必叫他安然睡覺。3 兒女是耶和華所賜的產業;所
懷的胎是祂所給的賞賜。4 少年時所生的兒女好像勇士手中的箭。5 箭袋充滿的
人便為有福;他們在城門口和仇敵說話的時候,必不至於羞愧。(詩篇 127 篇)
背誦經文:19 這樣,你們不再作外人和客旅,是與聖徒同國,是 神家裏的人了; 20 並且
被建造在使徒和先知的根基上,有基督耶穌自己為房角石, 21 各房靠祂聯絡
得合式,漸漸成為主的聖殿。 22 你們也靠祂同被建造,成為 神藉著聖靈居住
的所在。(弗 2:19-22)
一. 我們需要認識家的重要,與所面對日益艱難的挑戰
1. 家庭是 神所設計並建立的,是 神給人的祝福與托付
2. 家庭健康,教會才會復興,反之亦然
3. 家是我們屬靈生命的試金石,家庭生活就是我們生命操練的第一現場
4. 神所要的是全家的事奉與見證,也是仇敵全力所想破壞的 (出 10:10-11, 24-26)
二. 每個家都需要有好的建造者與看守者
1 若不是耶和華建造房屋,建造的人就枉然勞力;若不是耶和華看守城池,看守的人
就枉然警醒。2 你們清晨早起,夜晚安歇,吃勞碌得來的飯,本是枉然…
三. 成為箭袋充滿的家
4 少年時所生的兒女好像勇士手中的箭。5 箭袋充滿的人便為有福;他們在城門口和仇
敵說話的時候,必不至於羞愧。
四. 教會是神的家,我們都是 神家裡的人
▪ 倘若我耽延日久,你也可以知道在 神的家中當怎樣行。這家就是永生 神的教會,
真理的柱石和根基。(提前 3:15)
▪ 19 這樣,你們不再作外人和客旅,是與聖徒同國,是 神家裏的人了; 20 並且被建
造在使徒和先知的根基上,有基督耶穌自己為房角石, 21 各房靠祂聯絡得合式,
漸漸成為主的聖殿。 22 你們也靠祂同被建造,成為 神藉著聖靈居住的所在。(弗
2:19-22)
Message Theme: Becoming a Quiver-Filled Home

Theme verses:
1Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
2
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; For so He
gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the
children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate. (Psalm 127)
Memorization verse:
19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with
the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation
of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in
whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in
whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. (Eph
2:19-22)
1. We need to recognize the importance of family and the increasingly difficult
challenges we face today
a. The family is designed and established by God, and it is God’s blessing
and what He has entrusted to us
b. When the family is healthy, the church will revive, and vice versa
c. Home is the touchstone of our spiritual life, family life is the frontline of our
life practices
d. What God wants is the service and testimony of the whole family, which
the enemy wants to destroy with all his might (Exodus 10:10-11, 24-26)
2. Every home need good builder and watchman
1Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

and [a]ground of the truth. (1 Tim 3:15)
