Call to Gather, Pray and Worship God
Each Sunday a different blessing from the bible makes its way into the worship service. The intent is that you meditate on, remember, and consider how to apply the blessing for yourself and others in your life.
This naturally includes family and friends, but also Micro and Small Groups, church people, neighbors and co-workers; you can even keep in mind your church, national, and world leaders as God leads you to do. You are blessed to be a blessing.
Prayer for the Upcoming Discipleship Series
Father God, bless our lives of discipleship that they are lived to Your glory and to our edification. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as in heaven. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Revelation 22:20-21
He who testifies to these things says,
“Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus
be with God’s people. Amen.
May Jesus, the Creator and Sustainer of faith (Hebrews 12:2), continue to sustain us by grace through faith until His coming. Jesus is able! How or where could you use some extra sustenance? Who else do you know could use some extra sustenance as well? Pray for them.
This appended prayer is from Pastor’s personal daily prayer and he would relish you joining him in praying this prayer on his behalf.
Prayer
Lord God Almighty, our Father and our God, I pray that you enable Pastor Paul’s mind (heart, soul, and will) to gain understanding – and that he humbles himself before You. God, You are seeking after him and there are things happening around him that are calling for a deeper spiritual understanding and practice on his part. Help him to rise to the occasion. Bless him as he comes to experience more of this needed spirituality in this climate of today. Help him choose to not settle for less, but hunger for You above all things. He comes at Your request knowing that he cannot find You without the Holy Spirit. He needs You today. Bless him to hear and follow. Show him the way and strengthen him as he pursues it. Guide him and enlighten him -- particularly in those spiritually dark places; encourage him when he gets weary, challenge him in the comfortable and ordinary places - and protect him Father God from his enemy the evil one. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Proverbs with God's Wisdom
There is a way…
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.
