In a world filled with distractions, busyness, and spiritual challenges, Jesus’ words to His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane still echo powerfully today:

在这个充满干扰、忙碌和属灵挑战的世界中，耶稣在客西马尼园对门徒说的话，今天依然振聋发聩：

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

“你们要儆醒祷告，免得入了迷惑。你们心灵固然愿意，肉体却软弱了。”（马太福音 26:41）

This 6-week sermon series will help us rediscover the urgency, power, and necessity of prayer and spiritual alertness.

这个为期六周的讲道系列将带领我们重新认识祷告与属灵警醒的迫切性、能力与必要性。

Together, we will learn how to stay awake in our faith, stand firm in times of temptation, and cultivate a life of communion with God that impacts our homes, churches, and communities.

我们将一起学习如何在信仰中保持清醒，在试探中站立得稳，并建立一个与神亲密同行、影响家庭、教会和社会的祷告生活。

Let us be a people who watch with wisdom and pray with persistence—ready for what God is doing in and through us.

让我们成为一群有智慧地儆醒、持守祷告的子民，预备好迎接神在我们生命中和透过我们所要成就的事。
