330 Lord’s Table Blending Conference
Taipei Church’s 104 Meeting Places, 12,000 People Unite for Sunday Breaking of Bread: “God is Our Home!”
On Sunday, March 30th, Taipei Church held its Sunday gathering in morning and afternoon sessions across 104 meeting places, gathering over 12,000 people at the National Taiwan University (NTU) Sports Center for worship!
Following the joy of the 329 Youth Conference’s gospel proclamation, on Sunday the 30th, fellow members shared songs and testimonies about this cosmic mystery, the God who loves the world! The Taipei Church Assembly concluded by saying, “In the future, we hope to be built together in love with fellow members and churches worldwide! May we together live a God-man life based on divine life and be perfected to prepare the Bride of Christ!”
March 30th was a day belonging to the Lord.
Brothers and sisters and gospel friends from all Taipei Church locations entered the NTU Sports Center in an orderly fashion to gather together. With hymn after hymn, everyone opened their mouths and offered worship in unison, giving praise to Jesus!
And “children” are the greatest gospel messengers! Children are most able to purely encounter God and the gospel. They are God’s creation and can also use beautiful words from their mouths to show that they are treasures in the hands of the Lord Jesus.
The children of Taipei joyfully presented three hymns in a sing-along style: “God Made You and Me,” “Friend, Jesus Loves You,” and “Love Overflowing, Home Warm,” their innocent vitality filled the whole venue with joy!
Healthy Families Build the Right Next Generation
Families gathered together, dozens of families stood up together to testify that having the Lord is truly good.
A parent brother testified that the mother next door would let her children come to their home. An un-believing mother testified that her child’s character had improved a lot after attending gatherings, and they would also remind each other not to speak carelessly.
Children also testified that they very much looked forward to having children’s small groups (small group) with classmates, and even classmates who had moved to Hsinchu still participated in the small group, which was very joyful!
The whole venue proclaimed together: “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15)!
Following this, several brothers and sisters testified that God is love, and how this love saved them!
Brother Lin said that 17 years ago, he had also heard hymns and testimonies at a youth conference. Although he was moved, he did not believe in the Lord. Shortly after, his mother suddenly passed away, and he felt down and often could not fall asleep. His classmates remained steadfast and continued to preach the gospel to him. Finally, he found comfort from church life and the word of God and slept soundly for a night. In 2010, he was baptized into the Lord’s name because he truly experienced God, just as the scripture says, “become his true peace.”
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 4:7
Sister Chen, who grew up in a traditional family, shared that her maternal grandfather was a temple keeper, and her father was busy with business and had many social engagements. The family was full of conflict, making her life full of pressure. Fortunately, she met a teacher who led her to read John 8:12 in the Bible – Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Later, after she was baptized and believed in the Lord, she received the light of life and found her lost smile. Gradually, she was also able to repair her parent-child relationship with her father, with whom she had a poor relationship before.
Brother He, who was saved for 2 years and is 26 years old this year, shared that two months before his university entrance exam, his father suddenly passed away from a myocardial infarction while riding a bicycle. Four years later, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer that had metastasized to the brain. Sadly, she was bedridden and gradually lost consciousness. Until the day his mother passed away, he still wanted to take care of her by himself.
The successive passing of his parents made him realize the impermanence of life. As the only child in the family, he had to shoulder everything and also take care of his grandfather who had mild dementia.
Often, he was surrounded by loneliness, pain, and helplessness, and he was even more confused about the future. Fortunately, a Christian classmate from high school invited him to have dinner at a church sister’s home, and he felt love and warmth that he had never experienced since he was a child. The first time they met, the brothers and sisters prayed for him, making him deeply feel a kinship that was even more familial than family.
After being baptized, he realized that it was all because of the love of the Lord Jesus! He more actively learned to love others with Christ’s love, and together with the brothers and sisters, he coordinated, received guests, prepared love feasts, etc. The Lord Jesus gradually healed him and comforted the painful experiences of the past.
1 John 4:19: “We love because he first loved us.” Brother He said, “Even though I am without parents, I have many spiritual parents here who shepherd me, and also God, who is my most powerful reliance.”
Another brother, Zeng, who was addicted to video games and modifying motorcycles, attended four high schools but still could not graduate. Later, gradually, through the prayers and support of the brothers, he came to know God’s unchanging love. Now, he has not only completed his graduate studies but has also started a family with 2 lovely children, and they live church life together.
Sister Liu was diagnosed with terminal cancer and sought various treatments, but no doctor was willing to operate. Through prayer and the introduction of church members, she was actually healed! But after being healed, she fell into depression. Today, she can still stand on the stage to testify, and she loudly proclaimed Hebrews 4:15, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.”
Because she deeply knows that this Jesus, who has long interceded for people, personally became her timely help in love.
Brother Zhang, who works at TSMC, testified that when he first got married, he easily quarreled with his wife. Fortunately, church life renewed and changed them, otherwise, in recent years, with the successive births of two children and his parents also getting sick, his wife had to quit her job to take care of them at home. He testified that because of God’s word and God’s grace, their married life changed from “quarreling” to being able to “coordinate together,” becoming a joyful family that jointly inherits the grace of life.
Brother Jiang, one of the brothers in charge of the conference, pointed out, do we have a home for our lives?
Hearing the many testimonies above, some people lost both parents during their school years and did not know how to move forward? Some brothers and sisters have emotional problems, relationship problems, family problems, suffer from serious illnesses or have depressive tendencies… when they do not know how to face the road ahead, they all testified that the key to all the wonderful changes was: finding the Lord!
He used the scriptures from Luke 15 to tell everyone that God is like a shepherd seeking a sheep, a woman looking for a coin, and a father receiving a prodigal son, and said to the whole venue that God has “saving love” for sinners!
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.”
—New Testament Recovery Version, Luke 15:4-5
“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?”
—New Testament Recovery Version, Luke 15:8
So he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him fervently.
—New Testament Recovery Version, Luke 15:20
“We are all lost sheep, and also lost silver coins in hand. We all know that everything has an owner, and what is our home? People should also have a master. Do we have one? When we encounter major life crossroads, do we have a master to be in charge?” People without a master find it difficult to find the meaning of life.
In fact, the Heavenly Father views us as lost, and He keeps searching, and searching, until He finds us! “God is our home!”
He affirmed again, we are people who have a Lord! According to Luke, “It is not that they found the Lord, but that the Lord first came to find people, just like the shepherd until he found the sheep. There are hundreds and thousands of gospel friends on the scene. In fact, it is not you who found the Lord, but the Lord who found you!”
This God is our Creator. The Bible also says that God, to save the world, descended from the high heavens and became flesh, died and resurrected, and then ascended to the high heavens. He was established as the Lord of mankind. Many other religions do not say believe in the Lord, but Christians can say: I believe in “the Lord.”
When we encounter major life choices, such as: not knowing how to choose a school, find a career, or feeling weak and powerless, we are not without someone to unload our burdens onto, we can believe in the Lord.
We are at peace and content within, because we know that the Creator of all things is our Father. This Lord is no longer just the Lord above the high heavens, but the Lord of all things, and He wants to enter into us and be our Lord for us. “This is such a sweet and glorious thing!”
The loving Father loves us and is waiting for us to do four things:
Turn your heart to God – Repentance
It is not turning over a new leaf, not reforming oneself, but to “turn to God.” In the past, we were “turning our backs on God” to be good or bad people. Now we only need to repent, which is a “turn,” simply turn to this God.
Believe in God – Accept
It is not just nodding, agreeing, or admiring. Believing is “accepting.” It is not enough to just stay at admiration, we need to accept God.
Confess and call upon
Romans 10:9, “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Baptism – Testimony
Mark 16:16, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” All who believe should be baptized to publicly testify; because believing in the heart is before God, and baptism is testifying to salvation before people. Brother Jiang then invited everyone to stand up and accept this Lord together!
Brother Jiang led everyone to proclaim together: “Lord Jesus! Lord Jesus! Lord Jesus! Thank you! You are the Lord who created all things, and you want to enter into me to be my Lord, so that my life has a home!”
When encountering major life crossroads, do we have a master to be in charge? The loving Father God is waiting for us to do four things:
Turn your heart to God – Repentance, Believe in God – Acceptance, Confess and call upon, Baptism – Testimony.
Two Sunday Harmonious Gathering Special Conferences, witnessing that we are one!
Following the gospel testimonies of the 329 Youth Conference, the 330 Sunday Harmonious Gathering Special Conference was held in 104 meeting places of Taipei Church, divided into 10 administrative districts across the city, proceeding in morning and afternoon sessions in order. Nearly ten thousand people joyfully gathered.
Since its establishment in 1948, Taipei Church’s entrustment has been: to restore the divine truths of the Bible and the practice of the church. The brothers and sisters of the church have always adhered to the spirit of loving God, loving people, and proclaiming the gospel, practicing God’s ordained path according to the Bible.
Due to God’s grace, the number of Christians in the church has gradually increased. Currently, the number of people who regularly gather is about 20,000, the number of people living church life is 50,000, and the number of saints exceeds 150,000.
In the future, the church will continue to actively share the gospel to major continents around the world, hoping that everyone will enter into the Lord’s word and that every member of the body will function. Thank God! This Taipei Church 330 Harmonious Gathering Special Conference concluded successfully.
330主日相调特会》
北市召会104个会所、1万2千人合一主日擘饼：“神就是我们的归宿！”
3月30日主日，台北市召会共104个会所分上午场、下午场进行，于台大综合体育馆，聚集上一万二千人一同主日敬拜！
暨329青年大会福音宣扬的喜乐，330主日时，众肢体用诗歌、见证分享这一位宇宙奥秘、爱世人的神！台北市召会大会最终说道：“未来，我们盼望与全球众肢体、众召会，能在爱里同被建造！愿我们一同凭神圣的生命，过神人的生活并受成全预备基督的新妇！”
3月30日，是属主的日子。
全台北市召会弟兄姊妹与福音朋友，陆续规律进入台大综合体育馆，一同聚会。以一首首诗歌，众人开口同声献上敬拜，将赞美归给耶稣！
而“儿童”是最大的福音使者！儿童们，最能单纯接触神与福音，他们是神的创造，也能用口中善美言语，展现自己是主耶稣手中的宝贝。
台北市儿童欢乐地以带动唱方式，带来三首诗歌：《神造你和我》、《朋友，耶稣爱你》和《爱丰满、家温暖》，天真的活力让全场喜乐洋溢！
有健康的家庭，才能造就正确的下一代
一家家亲子同场，数十个家庭一起站出来，见证有主真好。
家长弟兄见证，隔壁邻居妈妈会让孩子一起到家中，未信主的母亲则见证，孩子来参加聚会后性格好多了，也会互相提醒说话不可以随便。
也有孩子们见证，很盼望可以与同学一起儿童小排（小组），而即使有同学已经搬到新竹，仍会参加小组，让人很是喜乐！
全场一同宣告：至于我和我家 我们必定事奉耶和华（约书亚记24:15）！
接着有多位弟兄姊妹见证，神就是爱，这爱如何拯救了他们！
林弟兄说道，17年前，他同样在青年大会中听到诗歌及见证，虽然感动却没有信主，不久，母亲突然离世，他心情低落、常常不能入睡，同学依然坚定持续传福音给他；终于，他从召会生活及神的话语中得安慰而安睡一晚，2010年他受浸归入主名，因确实经历神，如同经上所说“成为他的真平安”。
神那超越人所能理解的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保卫你们的心怀意念。
—腓立比书4:7
另一位传统家庭长大的陈姊妹分享，自己的外公是庙公，父亲忙于生意有很多应酬，家庭充满冲突，使其生活充满压抑，幸而遇到老师，带着她读圣经约翰福音8章12节－于是耶稣又对众人讲论说，我是世界的光，跟从我的，就绝不在黑暗里行，必要得着生命的光。
后来，她受浸信主后，得到生命的亮光，才找回失去的笑容，渐渐地，她也能与原来关系不好的父亲，修复亲子关系。
得救2年的何弟兄，今年26岁，他分享当年大学指考前2个月，爸爸骑自行车突然心肌梗塞离世，四年后，妈妈因乳癌扩散到大脑，不幸卧床也逐渐失去意识，到母亲去世那天，他仍想凭一己之力来照顾对方。
父母相继离开，让他体会人生无常，因是家中独子，必须一肩扛起所有事情，同时照顾患有轻微失智症的阿公。
常常只有孤单、痛苦、无助围绕他，对未来更是徬徨；幸而，高中基督徒同学邀请他到召会姊妹家吃晚餐，因而感受到从小到大未曾拥有过的爱和温暖。初次见面时，弟兄姊妹为他祷告，令其深深体会比家人更像家人的亲切。
受浸之后他才发现，原来都是因为有主耶稣的爱！更积极学习用基督的爱去爱别人，与弟兄姊妹们一起配搭、接待、准备爱筵等，主耶稣逐渐医治他、安慰了过去那段伤痛的经历。
约翰一书4章19节：“我们爱，因为神先爱了我们。”何弟兄说：“即便我无父无母，但我在那里有很多属灵父母亲牧养我，还有神，做我最有力量的依靠。”
另有一位沉迷电玩、改造机车的曾弟兄，读了四所学校仍无法高中毕业，而后渐渐因弟兄们的祷告扶持，认识神不改变的爱，现在，他不但完成研究所学业，更已成家拥有2个可爱孩子，一同过召会生活。
刘姊妹检查出癌症末期，寻遍各种疗法，却没有医生愿意手术。借着祷告、召会肢体介绍，她竟被医治了！但医治后，她却落入忧郁情形，今日还能站在台上做见证，她大声宣告希伯来书4:15，“因我们并非有一位不能同情我们软弱的大祭司，祂乃是在各方面受过试诱，与我们一样，只是没有罪。”
因她深知，这位长久为人代求的耶稣，在爱里亲自作了她随时的帮助。
在台积电工作的张弟兄，则见证自己刚结婚时，很容易与妻子吵架，幸而有召会生活更新变化，否则近年两个孩子接续出生，双亲也生病，妻子必须放下工作在家照顾；他见证因着神的话、神的恩典，改变了夫妻生活，从原来“吵架”到能“一起配搭”，成为一同承受生命之恩的喜乐家庭。
大会负责弟兄之一江弟兄点出，我们的人生有所归宿吗？
听到以上许多见证，有人求学阶段父母相继过世，不知如何往前？有些弟兄姊妹有情绪问题、感情问题、家庭问题、罹患重症或忧郁倾向…不知如何面对前面道路时，却都见证一切奇妙改变关键即：找到了主！
他用《路加福音》15章的经文告诉众人，神就如同牧人寻羊、妇人找钱及父亲接待浪子，并向全场说，神对罪人有“拯救的爱”！
你们中间谁有一百只羊，失去其中的一只，不把这九十九只撇在旷野，去找那失去的，直到找着么？找着了，就欢欢喜喜的扛在自己肩上，回到家里，
—新约恢复本圣经路加福音15:4-5
或是一个妇人有十个银币，若失落一个，岂不点上灯，打扫屋子，细细的找，直到找着么？
—新约恢复本圣经路加福音15:8
于是起来往他父亲那里去。相离还远，他父亲看见，就动了慈心，跑去抱着他的颈项，热切的与他亲嘴。
—新约恢复本圣经路加福音15:20
“我们都是失迷的羊，也是手中失落的银币，我们都知道物各有主，而我们的归宿是什么呢？人，也应该要有主人。我们有吗？遇到人生重大关口时，我们有主人作主吗？”人没有主，难以找着人生的意义。
事实上，天父看待失落的我们，祂就是一直找、一直找，直到找着了！“神就是我们的归宿！”
他肯定再说，我们乃是有主的人！根据路加福音，“不是他们找到了主，而是主先来找到了人，如同牧人直到找着了羊，现场有上百位、上千位福音朋友，其实，不是你找到主，而是主找到你了！”
这位神就是我们的创造主。圣经也说，神为拯救世人，从高天降世成为肉身、受死复活，才再升上高天，祂被立为人类的主，许多其他的宗教都不说信主，而，基督徒却能说：我信“主”了。
当我们遇到重大人生抉择时，例如：不晓得如何选学校、找职业或软弱乏力时，我们不是没有对象可卸下重担，我们可以信主。
我们里头是坦然也是满足的，因为知道创造万物的主乃是我们的父，这位主不再仅仅是高天之上的主，而是万有的主，且要进到我们里面、替我们作主。“这是何等甜美、荣耀的事！”
慈爱的父亲爱我们，正等待着我们做四件事：
1.心归向神-悔改
不是痛改前非、不是改过自新，而是要“转向神”，以前，我们是“背着神”做好人或坏人，现在只需要悔改，也就是一个“转”，简单转向这位神。
2.相信神-接受
不是点头、同意、欣赏而已，相信乃是“接受”，只有停留欣赏是不够的，我们需要接受神。
3.承认并求告
罗马书10:9，“就是你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信神叫祂从死人中复活，就必得救。”
4.受浸-见证
马可福音16:16，信而受浸的必然得救，不信的必被定罪。所有相信的人都应该受浸公开见证；因为心里相信是在神面前、受浸则是在人面前见证得救。江弟兄并邀请所有人站起来，一同接受这位主！
江弟兄领着所有人一同宣告：“主耶稣！主耶稣！主耶稣！谢谢你！你是创造万有的主，要进到我的里面做我的主，使我的人生有归宿！”
遇到人生重大的关口时，我们有主人作主吗？ 慈爱的父神正等待着我们做四件事：
心归向神-悔改、相信神-接受、承认并求告、受浸-见证。
两场主日相调特会，见证我们是一！
暨329青年大会的福音见证，330主日相调特会，于全台北市召会104共个会所，全市共分在10个行政大区，依序以上午场及下午场进行，将近万人欢喜聚集。
台北市召会自1948年成立以来，托付即：恢复圣经神圣真理及召会的实行。召会弟兄姊妹始终秉持以爱神、爱人、传扬福音的精神，根据圣经实行神命定之路。
因着神的恩典，召会基督徒人数渐渐扩增，目前经常聚会人数约2万，召会生活人数达5万，圣徒人数超过15万。
未来，召会仍将积极将福音分享到世界各大洲，盼人人进入主的话、肢体各尽功用；感谢神！此次台北市召会330相调特会圆满结束。
