An unforgettable "graduation sermon"

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 in front of all the 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

When She Qingji, assistant professor of Old Testament, wrote this book, it was the beginning of a new academic year at the seminary. This is my first year teaching full-time at "Baptism". Although I have participated in the teaching work of "Baptism" in the past two years, I have only been a special lecturer part-time. The day I became a full-time teacher was also the time when I said goodbye to the Bible translation work of the past ten years. Therefore, this is an appropriate time to review and look forward to the past and the road ahead. ...

Have I Heard God’s Call Wrongly?

Lam Chi Ching, a graduate of the Master of Divinity, continues to struggle: Have I heard the wrong call? It has been four years since I entered the seminary to receive theological equipment in 2006 and graduated this year. Looking back on the past four years, I have experienced a lot of ups and downs. The changes in people and things around me have caused many impacts, which have brought many difficulties to my theological career in the past few years. I once asked God: "Am I capable of completing the entire theology course?" "Have I heard the wrong call?" In the past few years, these struggles have continued to occur in my heart, but God has called me out of these struggles again and again. Seeing His kindness, God continues to strengthen my faith and reliance on Him, allowing me to deeply appreciate His faithfulness and mercy. ...

Don’t Be Slow to Pay Your Vow

Through my parents’ trust in God and their experience of serving, I saw how God cares for and blesses our family. Although our family has only relied on my father’s salary for many years to make ends meet, God has always provided enough so that we lack nothing in life. Later, God led my father to pastor a church in Australia, and the family moved overseas. Back in Australia, God miraculously prepared enough money for my parents to buy a house. It turned out that this house was the residence God had prepared for them in their retirement days. This shows that God’s provision is truly complete and exceeds what people can imagine. beg.

Piercing through Thorns

Full-time ministry seemed out of reach for Meng Jiansheng, a first-year Master of Divinity student. I made the decision to believe in the Lord a year before I graduated from college. When I recalled my first faith, my heart was full of fire and I was very eager to practice spirituality, attend Sunday school, and preach the gospel. One day, I prayed at home: "O God! I am willing to serve You full time in the future!" At that moment, I was convinced that God had indeed listened to my prayer. ...

Reborn after Death

Zhang Zhili (Jerry E. Juergens, Emeritus Professor of our college) Information collection: Zhang Lin Xiaoya came back from the dead - Guangzhou Baptist Theological College and Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary Everyone wants to know their ancestors. In fact, they are far away from us. Before we are born, our historical relationships begin to shape who we are. The Guangzhou Baptist Theological College closed in 1951, and the Hong Kong Baptist Theological College (formerly known as the Hong Kong Baptist Theological College) was founded in the same year. Legend has it that although the fire phoenix died in the fire, it was reborn from the ashes and spread its wings to fly high. Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary is like a phoenix. Its birth was due to the closure of Guangdong and Guangxi Baptist Theological Seminary. The delicate relationship between the two seminaries is more appropriately compared to the Christian belief in "resurrection from the dead." Life does not end with death, but is renewed by the power of God. Jesus said: "On this rock I will build my church, and the power of death will not prevail against her." (Matthew 16:18; New Chinese Translation) The work of training leaders for the Chinese Baptist church was carried out in Guangzhou in the 1980s. Five years later, Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary took over the baton and continued the mission. The purpose of this article is to trace the historical relationships between the two seminaries. ...

Walking with the LORD

Huang Fuguang Book 3:9-17 God Walks with Us The Book of Joshua is an Old Testament book about new beginnings. After wandering in the wilderness for forty years, the Israelites finally arrived at the border of the Promised Land. When the future seemed so uncertain, God showed that He was still with them. This was seen in the miracle of the Israelites crossing the Jordan River (chapters 3 and 4), which was about to announce to everyone that He was The God who parted the Red Sea has now come to Canaan!

The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night have never left us. This year, the college is holding a series of activities to celebrate its Diamond Jubilee, with the theme of "Spreading Wings, Soaring, Faith, Hope, and Love."
