Brave Faith - what are we brave about and how does it work? 勇敢的信心 - 在何事上勇敢，又是怎麼發生功效的呢？

[Anthony Su]

Based on Psalm 88:1-18 we will look at a very special aspect of our faith - the braveness, opposite to what other religions promote - timidity (follow the given instructions/rules "religiously") 

We will sing hymn 279, Look down in mercy Lord. 

We will have outdoor cleaning after lunch. This is a very precious time for the congregation to extend our Christianity together. How would you interpret this? 我們在午餐後進行室外大清掃。這是我們延伸基督徒生活的一項珍貴機會。你會怎麼解釋這項機會？
