同有一個心志,站立得穩。 —腓立比書1章27節
三年來,瑞秋去過好幾間教會,才找到這個查經小組,獲得一般教會無法提供的群體支持。瑞秋是聽障人士,世界上有許多聽障人士都像她一樣,在崇拜時面臨困難。這個查經小組是家庭教會,大家會聚在一起觀看聾人教會的聚會影片,討論教導的內容,共享愛宴,以促進彼此的關係。這個小小的信仰群體,正是瑞秋渴望已久、由聖靈引導的教會家庭。
使徒保羅指出,教會要成為一個群體,眾信徒就要在聖靈裡團契。他在監獄裡寫信給腓立比教會,鼓勵眾信徒要在聖靈裡連結。從某方面來說,保羅期盼他所建立、所愛的會眾,能在聖靈裡合一。
保羅鼓勵他們:「同有一個心志,站立得穩,為所信的福音齊心努力」(腓立比書1章27節)。他還說:「在基督裡若有任何勸勉,若有任何愛心的安慰,若有任何聖靈的團契,⋯⋯你們就要意志相同,……使我的喜樂得以滿足。」(2章1-2節,和合本修訂版)
所以,我們不應自私自利,就像保羅說:「各人不要單顧自己的事,也要顧別人的事」(4節)。這些充滿智慧的話語能成為所有教會群體的指引。藉著聖靈的大能,我們的信仰群體能在彼此和睦的團契中,一同服事祂。

保羅呼籲在基督裡的弟兄姐妹要合一(腓立比書1章27節),因為那時教會出現分歧並遭受逼迫。雖然他被關在監獄裡,但他卻說:「我所遭遇的事更是叫福音興旺」(12節),並指出有些人傳講基督「是出於個人野心」(17節,當代譯本修訂版)。保羅深知自己生死難料(20節),並提醒眾信徒,他們同樣會面對抵擋和逼迫(27-28節)。但保羅確信,他們「同有一個心志,站立得穩,為所信的福音齊心努力」(27節)。他們行事為人須與那些驕傲自大的人截然不同(2章3節)。他們所經歷的每一個苦難,都有助於促進彼此的合一。要擁有這樣的勇氣與合一,就必須倚靠聖靈的大能。聖靈會引導我們,並幫助我們在彼此的團契中一同成長。
Stand firm in the one Spirit.
Rachel “church hopped” for three years before finding a Bible study group that provided what she couldn’t find in a traditional church—community. Rachel is Deaf. Around the world, many Deaf people face similar worship challenges. Her house church nurtures community by watching a Deaf church service on YouTube, discussing the teaching with each other, and then sharing a meal. The small group provides the Spirit-led church family Rachel craves.
The apostle Paul explains what makes a church a community: the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Writing from prison, he urged this connection to the church at Philippi. His hope, in part, was to encourage spiritual unity in a congregation he’d formed and loved.
“Stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one,” Paul urged (Philippians 1:27). He added, “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, . . . then make my joy complete by being like-minded” (2:1-2).
So don’t be selfish, he said, “not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others” (vv. 3-4). Those wise words can guide all church families. By the power of God’s Holy Spirit, our communities can serve Him in harmonious fellowship with each other.
How do you sense the Holy Spirit working in your life? How can God’s Spirit help you grow His fellowship in your church?
Dear God, in a sometimes-unloving world, please inspire me to follow Your Holy Spirit’s leading to help build communities that reflect You. For further study, read Give Me Jesus: Philippians 2 at odbm.org.
