The Choral Singing Ministry of Our Seminary Students over the Past 59 Years

A little historical review: Not every called person is born with a good singing voice, but in the hearts of all called people, there is a hymn connected to the calling; and a group of called people’s most authentic singing is the "baptism of God" ” Characteristics of the choir and “God-baptizing” sacred music gatherings. Over the past fifty-nine years, our generations of theological students and generations of called people have witnessed God’s faithfulness and grace through singing. Their singing has also become a continuous testimony of “Baptist God” in front of everyone and all churches. ...

The Feelings of a Graduating Preacher

黃百明 道學碩士畢業班 Wong Pak-ming (M.Div. Graduating Class) 宣講的一步   對我而言,2009年8月是神學生生活最後一年的開始,開學時已經告訴自己:「時間會過得很快,無論身邊的人與事都要好好珍惜!」畢業講道是難得的機會,不是也該好好珍惜嗎?說起來好像很容易,此刻回想,當日卻是懷著戰兢的心情踏上學院的講壇!...

Dribs and Drabs from the Graduating Sermons

We have extracted the following passages from the sermons of three graduating students to share the sermon information with readers. Although these paragraphs are only a small part of the entire sermon and are inevitably a bit fragmented, we still hope that readers who are unable to attend the morning meeting can share bits and pieces of the graduation sermon. Somewhat coincidentally, these three sermons jointly reveal the would-be evangelists' spiritual reflections on their own duties from different levels...

The Unforgettable "Graduating Preaching"

The "Graduation Sermon" added this academic year will give the graduating class an unforgettable experience. This class of students has an opportunity that many senior brothers and sisters have never had - to stand on the podium at the college's morning meeting and preach information in front of teachers, classmates and a group of co-workers in the college. Precisely because they are prospective preachers who are about to leave school and apprentices who are about to "fulfill their teachings", the college feels that it is necessary to give them a special opportunity to preach and practice, so that they can be encouraged and reminded, and they can continue to preach throughout their lives. Forget the reminder from your alma mater: Preaching is an extremely important ministry of the preacher. ...

From Bible Translation to Teaching

Tony Sher (Assistant Professor of Old Testament) As I write this, the new academic year at the seminary begins. This is my first year teaching full-time at HKTS. Although I have participated in teaching at HKTS over the past two years, both were as a part-time adjunct lecturer. The day I become a full-time teacher also marks my farewell to the past decade of Bible translation work. Therefore, this is an appropriate time to reflect on the journey I have taken and the road ahead.

Have I Heard God’s Call Wrongly?

林子正 道學碩士畢業生 Lam Chi-ching (Graduate of M.Div. Program) 不斷掙扎:我有否聽錯呼召?   自2006年進入神學院接受神學裝備,至今年畢業已有四個年頭。回想這四年的日子,實在經歷了不少風浪;身邊的人和事的變化造成多番衝擊,為我這幾年的神學生涯帶來了不少困難。我曾經求問上帝:「我究竟有沒有能力完成整個神學課程?」「我有否聽錯呼召?」在這幾年,內心不斷出現這些掙扎,但上帝一次又一次叫我從這些掙扎當中看見祂的恩慈,上帝不斷堅立我對祂的信心與依靠,讓我更深體會祂的信實和憐憫。...

Don’t Be Slow to Pay Your Vow

李天慧 道學碩士一年級 Lee Tin-wai (M.Div. 1) 從小看見:父母所事奉的神何等真實   我蒙受主的恩典,出生及成長於一個基督化家庭,每個主日返教會及上主日學是我從小就認識及接納的生活模式。我的父母是傳道人,透過父母對神的信靠與事奉的經歷,我見到神怎樣看顧和賜福我們一家。雖然多年來全家只靠爸爸一份薪金維持生計,但神一直有足夠的預備,使我們的生活一無所缺。其後,神引領爸爸到澳洲牧養教會,全家也因而移居海外。當年在澳洲,神奇妙地預備了足夠的金錢,讓父母可以買房子──原來這房子更是神為他倆現時退休的日子所預備的居所,可見神的供應真是完備,超過人所想所求。這種種事情,讓我從小就親眼看見我父母所事奉的神是何等真實。...
