One Ordinary Week at a Time一次一個平常的禮拜
Every week starts with an ordinary scene: a message we haven't answered, a dinner we keep postponing, a yes we said too fast. We say what happened first, and we wait before explaining why.每一週都從一個平常的場景開始:一則還沒回的訊息、一頓一直延後的晚飯、一個答應得太快的「好」。我們先說發生了什麼,先不急著解釋為什麼。
Then we notice how we usually handle it: faster, alone, on our own strength. We come back to Jesus and to each other, read the Scripture in full, and leave with one small step we can actually take.接著我們看見自己平常怎麼處理:快一點、自己來、靠自己撐。然後回到耶穌,也回到彼此身邊,把經文完整地讀一遍,帶著一個真的做得到的小步回家。
Side by Side, Not Front to Back並肩讀,沒有台上台下
No one stands at the front with the answers. Jesus is the one teacher; the rest of us walk together. Someone hosts each meeting, and we take turns. Each of us brings our own life to the page and speaks for ourselves.沒有人站在前面給答案。耶穌是唯一的老師,我們其餘的人一起走。每次聚會有一位主持,大家輪流。每個人都把自己的生活帶到經文前,說自己的話。
We meet in groups of four, online by video or in person, once a week, for about ninety minutes. Everyone answers every question. If no one speaks for four seconds, the host invites someone who hasn't spoken yet. There is no “pass”: doing the things we don't feel like doing, together, is how we mature.我們四個人一組,線上視訊或見面都可以,每週一次,大約九十分鐘。每一題,每個人都回答。四秒鐘沒有人開口,主持人就請一位還沒說話的人先說。這裡沒有「跳過」:一起做我們不想做的事,就是我們一起成熟的方式。
Every meeting has three parts: we step into each other's week, we search the Scripture together, and we each leave with someone to pass it on to.每次聚會都有三段:走進彼此的這一週,一起在經文裡尋求,每個人帶著一個要分享的人離開。
The deeper things are never named for anyone else. We ask, we listen, and each of us finds our own words in our own time.水面下更深的事,我們不替任何人下結論。我們問、我們聽,每個人照自己的速度,找到自己的話。

Scripture You Can Copy and Pass On可以抄下來、傳出去的經文
Every verse in this study comes from a public-domain translation: the Chinese Union Version (1919) and the Berean Standard Bible. We print each passage in full, so your group can copy it, read it aloud, and pass it on.這份讀經材料裡的每一節經文,都來自公共領域的譯本:中文和合本(1919)與英文 Berean Standard Bible。每一段都完整印出來,小組可以抄下來、大聲讀、傳給別人。
