But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. (Galatians 5:13) We have adopted the above theme to be Sabah Theological Seminary s graduation focus for this year. The three key words in Paul s exhortation in Galatians 5:13 are grace, freedom and service. Freedom is set in the context of God s saving act; namely by faith alone and by grace alone. Here it is expressly noted that we cannot add anything to earn our salvation. On the other hand Paul does not want his readers to take this freedom or grace for granted and live as it would please them. True freedom is not a privilege endowed on us to do whatever we want, but a privilege to do God s will and have a mind to serve. Therefore, since the inception of our motto at STS, Study to Serve, we exist to train and equip God s servants with the relevant ministerial skills, spiritual formation, ecumenical experiences and theological education that they may be able to serve God and his people in a God-pleasing manner. Hence, I would like to remind the graduating class as they go out to serve God: remember and constantly ponder on what Paul said in Galatians 5:13 about your freedom in Christ and your call to serve. This ought to be accomplished with joy and with the knowledge that Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ (Colossians 3:23-24). Have a blessed and fruitful ministry!

02 沙巴神学院 2017 年的主题是 在主恩典的自由中事奉 保罗透过加拉太书五章十三节给予的勉励由三个钥字组成 : 恩典, 自由, 服事 自由来自上帝的拯救, 本乎恩, 也因着信 ; 保罗在强调人不能因行为赢得救恩的同时, 也强调不能将得到自由或恩典当成是理所当然的事, 或放纵的机会 真自由不是让人有能力作任何想做的事, 而是为了完成上帝的旨意, 尽心服事 因此, 沙巴神学院以 受装备, 去服事 为学院的宗旨宣言, 表明神学院的成立即是为了训练和装备上帝的仆人, 藉着事奉技能 灵性塑造 普世教会经验和神学教育等方面的训练, 让他们按照上帝的心意事奉上帝 服务人群 因此, 我要提醒所有即将毕业的同学们, 谨记且遵行保罗在加拉太书五章十三节告诉我们的 : 在基督里已得自由, 蒙召事奉神 又如保罗在歌罗西书三章二十三至二十四节所说 : 无论做什么, 都要从心里作 ; 像是给主作的, 不是给人作的 ; 因你们知道从主那里必得着基业为赏赐 你们所事奉的乃是主基督 愿主大大赐福你的事奉! ( 加 5: 13) DIBEBASKAN OLEH ANUGERAH ALLAH UNTUK MELAYANI Dr Wilfred J Samuel, Pengetua Saudara-saudaraku, kamu sudah dipanggil untuk menjadi orang bebas. Tetapi janganlah jadikan kebebasan itu alasan untuk membiarkan diri dikuasai oleh hawa nafsu. Sebaliknya, kamu harus saling mengasihi dan saling menolong. (Galatia 5:13) Kami telah mengambil tema di atas sebagai tumpuan penamatan Seminari Teologi Sabah pada tahun ini. Tiga kata kunci dalam nasihat Paulus dalam Galatia 5:13 adalah anugerah, kebebasan dan pelayanan. Kebebasan dinyatakan dalam konteks karya penyelamatan Allah; iaitu melalui iman sahaja dan dengan anugerah sahaja. Di sini, jelas dinyatakan bahawa kita tidak dapat menambah apa-apa untuk memperoleh penyelamatan kita. Namun, Paulus tidak mahu para pembaca menyalahgunakan kebebasan atau anugerah untuk hidup sesuka hati. Kebebasan sejati bukanlah suatu keistimewaan yang diberikan kepada kita untuk melakukan apa sahaja yang kita inginkan, tetapi satu keistimewaan untuk melakukan kehendak Allah dan digunakan untuk melayani. Oleh itu, sejak permulaan lagi moto STS, Belajar untuk Melayani, kami wujudkan untuk melatih dan melengkapi hamba-hamba Allah dengan kemahiran-kemahiran pelayanan yang relevan, pembentukan rohani, pengalaman ekumenik dan pendidikan teologi supaya mereka dapat melayani Tuhan dan umat-nya dengan cara yang menyenangkan-nya. Justeru, saya ingin mengingatkan para penuntut yang tamat, sementara mereka keluar untuk melayani Tuhan: ingat dan sentiasa renungkan apa yang dikatakan oleh Paulus dalam Galatia 5:13 tentang kebebasan anda dalam Kristus dan panggilan anda untuk melayani. Ini harus dicapai dengan sukacita dan dengan mengetahui, "Lakukanlah semua tugas dengan sepenuh hati, seolah-olah kamu melakukannya untuk Tuhan dan bukan untuk manusia. Ingatlah, kamu akan menerima pahala daripada Tuhan, yang telah disediakan Tuhan untuk umat-nya. Hal itu demikian kerana tuan yang kamu layani sebenarnya Kristus (Kolose 3:23-24). Selamat melayani dan semoga diberkati dan berhasil dalam pelayanan!

06 A REFORMATION THAT CONTINUES TO BE LIVING To commemorate the 500 th Anniversary of the Reformation, the Lutheran Study Centre held a series of 3-day events: one in BM, one in English, and one in Chinese. The three events had over 250 participants combined. Rev Greg Schiller from the Lutheran Church of Australia and Rev Stephen Ju from China Lutheran Seminary in Taiwan were guest speakers, while local speakers included Dr Thu En Yu, Mr Lawrence Hee, Rev Jollify Daniel, and Rev William Lo. The Lutheran churches from Malaysia and Singapore also gave presentations about their ministries, highlighting the unity in diversity of contemporary Asian Lutheranism. In his remarks to open the gatherings, LSC Director Eric Trozzo said: We gather to remember that five hundred years ago, the church underwent a Reformation. It gained new insight into God s grace through Martin Luther. We do not celebrate that part of the Reformation involved a split in the church. We always mourn division within the church. English Gathering However, we do celebrate that through Martin Luther we understand more clearly that we are not saved by being righteous or doing good work. We are saved because Christ is righteous. Because Christ is righteous, we give thanks and praise to God. In Christ we are free to follow Christ by serving others. This insight from Martin Luther is what we celebrate. We are gathered together to remember this past. Even more, however, we are gathered to celebrate what God continues to do. Even though Martin Luther lived 500 years ago in Germany, his understanding of the gospel continues to shape our understanding of what it means to live as disciples of Christ around the world. 宗教改革继续延续 为了纪念宗教改革 500 周年, 信义宗研究中心举办了马来语 英语 华语各自为期三天的活动, 参与人数超过 250 人 ; 讲员有来自澳洲的 Greg Schiller 牧师和台湾信义宗神学院的 Stephen Ju 牧师, 以及涂恩友博士, 许贵胜先生,Jollify Daniel 牧师,William Lo 牧师, 新马路德宗教会也分享其事工, 特别强调当代亚洲多元且合一的路德宗主义 信义宗研究中心主任在其开幕致辞中说 :

07 我们聚集此处是为了纪念 500 年前的教会改革, 透过路德, 让人更认识上帝的恩典 虽然我们因宗教改革而带来的教会分裂感到悲痛, 却也要因路德宣扬的非靠行为得救的信息而庆祝 我们得救是因基督的义 因基督的义, 我们感谢赞美上帝 在基督里, 我们有自由, 并效法基督服事众人 为此我们要聚集欢庆 我们聚集于此不仅纪念过往, 更要庆祝上帝继续不断在教会中的作为 尽管马丁路德生活在 500 年前的德国, 然而他对福音的理解, 继续影响着当代全世界跟随基督的门徒 REFORMASI YANG TERUS HIDUP Untuk memperingati ulang tahun ke-500 Reformasi, Pusat Pengajian Lutheran mengadakan siri acara selama tiga hari: satu dalam BM, satu dalam bahasa Inggeris, dan satu dalam bahasa Cina. Tiga acara itu mempunyai lebih daripada 250 peserta kesemuanya. Rev Greg Schiller dari Gereja Lutheran Australia dan Rev Stephen Ju dari Seminari Lutheran China di Taiwan merupakan penceramah tamu, sementara penceramah tempatan termasuk Dr Thu En Yu, Encik Lawrence Hee, Rev Jollify Daniel, dan Rev William Lo. Gereja-gereja Lutheran dari Malaysia dan Singapura turut memberi penyampaian mengenai pelayanan mereka, yang menonjolkan perpaduan dalam kepelbagaian Lutheranisme Asia yang kontemporari. Dalam ucapan pembukaan perhimpunan, Pengarah Pusat Pengajian Lutheran, Eric Trozzo berkata: Kita berkumpul untuk mengingati bahawa lima ratus tahun yang lalu, gereja telah menjalani Reformasi. Gereja telah memperoleh pandangan baru tentang anugerah Allah melalui Martin Luther. Kita tidak meraikan bahagian Reformasi yang mengakibatkan perpecahan dalam gereja. Kita sentiasa meratapi perpecahan dalam gereja. Walau bagaimanapun, kita meraikan melalui Martin Luther dan memahami dengan lebih jelas bahawa kita tidak diselamatkan kerana kita benar atau melakukan kerja yang baik. Kita diselamatkan kerana Kristus adalah orang yang benar. Disebabkan oleh Kristus orang yang benar, kita mengucap syukur dan memuji Allah. Dalam Kristus kita bebas mengikuti Kristus dengan melayani orang lain. Wawasan Martin Luther inilah yang kita raikan bersama. Kita berkumpul bersama untuk mengingati masa lalu tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, lebih-lebih lagi, kita berkumpul untuk meraikan apa yang Allah terus lakukan. Walaupun Martin Luther hidup 500 tahun yang lalu di Jerman, pemahamannya mengenai Injil terus membentuk pemahaman kita tentang apa yang dimaksudkan untuk hidup sebagai murid-murid Kristus di seluruh dunia.

08 KINGDOM ECONOMY CONSULTATION II AT THE ASIAN CENTRE FOR MISSION On 14 October 2017, the Asian Centre for Mission hosted a 1-day consultation jointly organised by COSA-NECF (Commission of Sabah Affairs of the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship). This consultation was a follow-up from a workshop with a similar title a year ago. Over twenty people from leaders of churches and NGOs involved in social ministries in Sabah participated in this year s consultation. Rev Paul Friesen from the ACM presented an overview of the concept of the kingdom economy as the basis for social change. This concept was introduced by Dr Benjamin Quiñones, Jr from last year s consultation when he taught that the essence of social enterprise was via a biblical principle of a solidarity economy system. A progress report of the associated network activities since its inception was presented by Sebastian Chong, who became the secretary for this network. At the consultation, participants discussed various topics related to socio-economic empowerment initiatives. Recurring themes that emerged from the discussion included collective learning from past mistakes, the importance of a need assessment, the priority of participatory approach in ministry, having a kingdom agenda as opposed to a personal agenda, the importance of moral integrity in one s organisations, a relational approach to starting any ministry initiative, and the need to transition out of a dependency mentality. The consultation concluded with the formation of a steering committee that seeks to advance these concepts to churches across Sabah and beyond. Kingdom economy participants having a dialogue discussion

09 PERUNDINGAN EKONOMI KERAJAAN II DI PUSAT MISI ASIA Pada 14 Oktober 2017, Pusat Misi Asia bersama dengan COSA-NECF (Suruhanjaya Hal Ehwal Sabah - Persekutuan Kristian Evangelical Kebangsaan) telah menganjurkan satu perundingan selama sehari. Perundingan tersebut adalah tindakan lanjutan bengkel dengan tajuk yang sama diadakan tahun lalu. Lebih dua puluh orang pemimpin gereja dan NGO yang terlibat dalam pelayanan sosial di Sabah telah mengambil bahagian dalam perundingan tahun ini. Pdt Paul Friesen dari Pusat Misi Asia telah menyampaikan gambaran mengenai konsep ekonomi kerajaan sebagai asas perubahan sosial. Konsep ini diperkenalkan oleh Dr Benjamin Quiñones, Jr semasa perundingan tahun lepas ketika beliau mengajar tentang inti perusahaan sosial dengan prinsip alkitabiah "sistem ekonomi perpaduan". Laporan kemajuan aktiviti rangkaian yang berkaitan sejak penubuhannya telah disampaikan oleh Encik Sebastian Chong, selaku setiausaha rangkaian ini. Semasa perundingan, para peserta membincangkan pelbagai topik yang berkaitan dengan inisiatif pemberdayaan sosioekonomi. Tema-tema yang muncul daripada perbincangan tersebut termasuk pembelajaran kolektif daripada kesilapan lalu, kepentingan penilaian, keutamaan pendekatan penglibatan dalam pelayanan, mempunyai agenda kerajaan dan bukan agenda peribadi, kepentingan integriti moral dalam organisasi, pendekatan relasional untuk memulakan inisiatif pelayanan, dan perlunya peralihan daripada mentaliti kebergantungan. Perundingan itu diakhiri dengan pembentukan jawatan kuasa pemandu yang bertujuan untuk mengongsikan konsep-konsep tersebut ke gereja-gereja di seluruh Sabah dan seterusnya. Steering committee
