00:43:23.380 |
my brethren to come to Christ and you could see the passion that he had and then second Timothy 00:43:28.340 |
2 10 says for the reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen so that they also 00:43:33.720 |
may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory so I remember when I was 00:43:39.640 |
young in ministry and actually it was before I entered into ministry I prayed to God that he 00:43:46.480 |
would give me brokenness for the lost because I knew what he was calling me into and I didn't know 00:43:52.360 |
if I can do this unless he really gave me a heart for the lost right like how am I going to endure 00:43:59.180 |
what I saw my parents endure if if it's just out of obligation and so I remember praying earnestly 00:44:06.320 |
every time we had a prayer meeting I would pray God give me a brokenness for the lost let me let me 00:44:11.860 |
genuinely cry out for them and I remember God opened my eyes and started giving me compassion for them 00:44:17.720 |
and in this one particular day I was driving in my car and I was in the middle of traffic and I was 00:44:24.160 |
watching all of these people and all of a sudden hit me like a ton of bricks the majority of these people 00:44:29.540 |
are going to be judged when they die and I remember just being broken over that thought and coming before 00:44:35.400 |
the Lord in prayer and then that kind of led me to pray earnestly to evangelize whatever I preached 00:44:41.840 |
and that is what compelled me to enter into ministry but now that I've been in ministry for so many years 00:44:48.680 |
you know it's easy to see my heart get hearted and that this is something I've done for 35 plus years 00:44:57.020 |
and so one of the things that I I'm genuinely asking for is for prayer for brokenness because 00:45:03.540 |
otherwise at at this stage of my life I can just ride whatever we have we have church things are going 00:45:11.820 |
great bills are paid but obviously that's not why we're here like I want to continue to do the work 00:45:19.900 |
that God has called us to and uh and again I know the difference between just doing the work versus 00:45:25.860 |
genuinely being broken for the lost so that's my first prayer the second prayer is to have a sense of 00:45:31.900 |
urgency to spread the gospel like I said because our church has been around for 28 going on 29 years 00:45:39.160 |
I've been in ministry another uh seven eight years above that and maybe a bit more than that 00:45:46.400 |
that sometimes because we're not a church plant and that there is no sense of urgency yes we need to 00:45:54.120 |
preach the gospel we need to build a healthy church but um second Thessalonians 3 1 it says 00:45:59.480 |
finally brethren pray for us that the word of the Lord would spread rapidly and be glorified just as it did 00:46:05.200 |
also with you and I was meditating on that while we were out in Korea and I confess yes I want to spread 00:46:14.460 |
the gospel I want to know people to come to Christ but is there a sense of urgency am I aware of the time 00:46:22.780 |
limit that I have that you know that's why the psalmist says I'm praying that you would help me to number 00:46:29.180 |
my days so that you would give us give me a heart of wisdom and so to have a sense of urgency to see the 00:46:37.460 |
lost come to Christ so that I don't live my life thinking I have all the time in the world when my 00:46:42.360 |
kids are you know this or when my bills are paid or when we have more time but really be able to see if 00:46:48.140 |
Christ comes you know in the near future you know am I living in a way where I'm not going to look back and 00:46:55.220 |
say oh I wish I had another year or five years or ten years and so again in Colossians 4 3 to 4 says 00:47:01.800 |
praying at the same time for us as well that God will open up to us a door for the word so that we 00:47:07.620 |
may speak forth the mystery of Christ for which I also have been in prison that I may make it clear in 00:47:12.720 |
the way I ought to speak and I think about Apostle Paul how in such a short period of time he literally 00:47:19.060 |
poured his life out to preach the gospel and he was able to plant all those churches and then when he 00:47:24.460 |
finally died he died in the context of trying to get the gospel out right sometimes you can get so 00:47:31.040 |
caught up in our families and you know do we have enough money are we raising godly children and and all 00:47:37.180 |
of these things are necessary and important things but sometimes that becomes the main primary thing that I 00:47:44.020 |
commit to and not realizing that the ultimate call for every Christian and even raising our children is in the 00:47:50.820 |
context of the Great Commission and so my prayer is that God would give me a sense of urgency that we don't just 00:47:59.060 |
be satisfied you know everything's going well at church the church is still growing but to really be able to see the 00:48:04.840 |
world through God's lens and that there would be a sense of urgency in my heart to spread the gospel as rapidly as 00:48:11.020 |
possible and I do want to spread the gospel but I need to have a sense of urgency and I want our church to 00:48:18.460 |
have a sense of urgency to preach the gospel and then third and finally a love for the church right and 00:48:25.660 |
it's not because I don't love the church but I know the difference between working for the church caring for the 00:48:32.300 |
church but genuinely loving the church Galatians 4 19 20 my children with whom I am again in labor until 00:48:39.740 |
Christ is formed in you but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone for I am 00:48:45.580 |
perplexed about you and even as he is writing this letter you know Corinthians Galatians you know so many 00:48:53.820 |
of Paul's letters are written because he's addressing an issue but considering how many churches he planted 00:49:00.780 |
you would think he would just kind of shake off the dust and then move on and say you know I got so much 00:49:05.980 |
other work to do but he really labored and prayed because he genuinely cared for them and you know I 00:49:15.980 |
again you know I'm going to share but first that's only one two to three pauses we give thanks to God 00:49:21.100 |
always for all of you making mention of you in our prayers constantly bearing in mind your work of 00:49:25.020 |
faith labor of love and steadfastness of hope right again work of faith but do I have labor of love 00:49:38.700 |
because I've been in ministry for so long for at least many years that I have you know a lot of memories 00:49:47.580 |
some are very good and some are very bad and as a result of that I catch myself sometimes like 00:49:57.500 |
deliberately hardening my heart I don't want to put myself in a situation where I'm going to end up 00:50:02.860 |
experiencing what I experienced in the past and so because of that I can do the work but I resist loving 00:50:12.300 |
right I catch myself saying I don't want to love because if I love I put myself in a place where I'm 00:50:19.500 |
vulnerable and if I'm vulnerable and I'm allowing myself to be in a situation where something some bad 00:50:27.340 |
very painful memories in the past you know I don't want to experience that again and so I catch 00:50:32.780 |
myself sometimes deliberately keeping people at bay 00:50:37.020 |
I can't do ministry that way I want to be able to be an extension of Christ 00:50:47.420 |
and so this is something that I wrestle with you know and like there's a temptation in my heart to 00:50:53.980 |
just ride this out to the end you know and hopefully nothing bad happens and I'll just I'll just do the best that I can 00:51:01.340 |
until my time to retire comes but you know I'm not here to do a job I'm here to be an extension of 00:51:10.380 |
Christ and I can't do that if I can I can't share his heart I can't share his love and so I catch myself sometimes deliberately 00:51:19.660 |
keeping myself at bay for that reason and so that's my prayer that's not something that I can turn on and off 00:51:26.540 |
that's something that I have to pray that God would allow me to to be an extension of who he is to the church as well not just to 00:51:35.580 |
the lost in fact it's easier for the lost because the lost you just share the gospel and you celebrate and then you move on but it's much 00:51:45.580 |
harder to love the church because we share our lives together we rub shoulders together you know we 00:51:51.500 |
you know anyway I don't want to take too much time but if you can take some time to pray for me specifically 00:52:02.860 |
I have to be a vessel that God can use and so that's something that I I wrestle with and ask ask for your your prayer 00:52:09.980 |
so if I can ask you to take some time to pray for about five minutes and then 00:52:13.820 |
uh pastor sung will come up and he will share his prayer request okay 00:55:43.100 |
to be standing up here to share my prayer request with you 00:56:00.300 |
and given me an extended family within the church where I could stand before you and 00:56:06.460 |
share my prayer request with you asking you to 00:56:10.140 |
shoulder some of the burdens that we have as pastors and 00:56:13.900 |
and we're truly fulfilling the law of Christ as we do that 00:56:28.140 |
and we're just so privileged and thankful for that 00:56:33.100 |
having said that the first prayer request that I have is for discernment to lead the college ministry 00:56:41.260 |
I had never imagined myself overseeing the college ministry 00:56:49.020 |
I felt a bit timid when Pastor Peter told me that I will be assigned to the college ministry 00:56:56.380 |
he has done such a wonderful job with this ministry 00:57:00.220 |
that I felt that the standard was set really high 00:57:06.940 |
the fear of coming short of expectations and disappointing others 00:57:14.700 |
and that had to do with the fear of man that had to do with me wanting to please man 00:57:28.860 |
God did not give us a spirit of fear or timidity 00:57:33.740 |
but of power and of love and of discipline and that I should fulfill my ministry 00:57:39.100 |
as one who has been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel of Jesus Christ 00:57:44.700 |
speaking the word of truth not as pleasing men 00:57:50.940 |
and so I have to keep reminding myself of that truth 00:58:01.020 |
surrounded by an amazing team of staff and student leaders 00:58:05.500 |
they have helped me tremendously as I transitioned into college ministry and I'm very grateful to God for them 00:58:15.740 |
all our students made me feel really welcome and made the transition very smooth and 00:58:25.980 |
and I know this because prior to going to retreat few of the 00:58:30.940 |
college students approached me and asked me if it would be okay for me to room with them at retreat 00:58:36.860 |
and so I kindly declined because I told them I have to room with my wife 00:58:42.620 |
but you know that made me feel welcome and I and I truly appreciated that 00:58:50.940 |
having inherited this amazing ministry I do ask the Lord to give me an understanding mind to oversee his people 00:58:59.180 |
that I may discern what is right and wrong and to exercise faithful oversight of God's people 00:59:05.660 |
because I know that I have been entrusted with the precious souls of the Lord's redeemed people and 00:59:12.300 |
and and I want to do what is right before the Lord 00:59:14.700 |
and so if you could pray for me that I'll have discernment to lead the college ministry 00:59:19.500 |
and secondly diligence in prayer and reading scripture amidst a busy schedule 00:59:25.580 |
so summer system has begun and with the quarter system approaching 00:59:31.900 |
college ministry will continue to be busy and um just on a side note I forgot to add it there but 00:59:39.260 |
our collegians are out on campus this week and next week 00:59:42.460 |
and we're inviting collegians to come to our welcome week event 00:59:47.900 |
but in addition to flyering we're also evangelizing to students on campus and having been on campus with our 00:59:56.860 |
I'm just so thankful to God that they have the passion for evangelism that they're being obedient to the great commission 01:00:05.980 |
and so if you could continue to pray for our collegians as they're faithfully on campus in this 01:00:12.060 |
hot summer heat sharing the gospel that that the Lord will keep them 01:00:20.060 |
but as the college ministry continues it's gonna get busier and so I ask that you please pray for me 01:00:26.300 |
that I remain sharp and focused by the word of our God during the school year 01:00:31.020 |
I believe like all of you here this evening that everything that pertains to life and godliness is in the inspired scriptures 01:00:41.100 |
and so I firmly believe that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of our God 01:00:51.660 |
I can get easily distracted by the task and the assignments that are before me 01:00:55.980 |
I like to get things done I don't like to leave things undone 01:01:05.180 |
I can get distracted and sometimes neglect my reading and prayer time 01:01:10.060 |
but I don't want to neglect my time and reading of God's word or or prayer and communicating with him because I know like the 01:01:19.180 |
scripture says man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God 01:01:26.380 |
that I will always make God my number one priority 01:01:30.060 |
that he comes first in every decision that I make 01:01:33.980 |
and that no matter how busy it gets I want reading scripture and prayer to be my number one priority 01:01:41.260 |
and third my devotion to wife family and the church 01:01:45.660 |
I want to have a well-balanced devotion to my wife to my family and to the church 01:01:51.580 |
I don't want to conflate the three thinking that serving one is serving the other 01:01:56.140 |
I want to have a proper distinction of every relationship in my life and serve faithfully in each 01:02:02.140 |
and so I ask that you pray for me that I will continue to be a faithful husband 01:02:07.420 |
a faithful pastor a son a brother and a friend 01:02:10.540 |
I remember my official first two months at Berean as a pastor 01:02:16.540 |
I enjoyed every minute of it and I still enjoy every minute of it I love being at church 01:02:26.620 |
but one day my wife Becky told me that the transition was a bit challenging for her 01:02:33.740 |
beginning of this year I was on my sabbatical and I'm not an easy person to hang out with 01:02:42.860 |
and so I was home most of the time and Becky just wanted me out of the house 01:02:48.060 |
so she said look go mountain bike do something just don't stay here 01:02:53.580 |
and so she asked me to leave the home a few times so she could focus on her work 01:03:00.540 |
because I keep bothering her every time I read a devotion I interrupt her and says look what it 01:03:08.380 |
but since I have been at church she told me that the transition has been challenging because 01:03:17.900 |
she misses me I know that's TMI um but she says she misses me and I and I could see her shaking her 01:03:26.140 |
head right now but but you know I was reminded to be sensitive to the needs of my wife and not to 01:03:32.220 |
neglect my duties as her husband because in Ephesians chapter 5 verse 25 it tells us husbands 01:03:38.300 |
love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her 01:03:41.980 |
and so I ask that you pray for me that I'll be reminded of my role not just as a pastor at a church 01:03:50.220 |
but a husband a son a brother and a friend and that I will show my faithfulness in every relationship in 01:03:58.540 |
my life not to neglect my duties and so those are my prayer requests for this evening 01:08:59.660 |
Okay I'd like to take a moment to share my prayer requests as well 01:09:08.460 |
I feel especially now in this kind of season of my life 01:09:13.260 |
a desperate need for wisdom in every single facet of my life actually 01:09:17.660 |
thinking about church ministry you can imagine there are a lot of just ministry plans 01:09:24.300 |
what do we do about this event there are a lot of questions about what do we do about 01:09:30.860 |
and more than ever I feel a sense of like almost paralysis sometimes these days 01:09:36.220 |
I don't know what do we do last year you know like that kind of 01:09:45.020 |
I I can't even tell like what's the issue is it just fear that plans may fail 01:09:51.340 |
is it fear that if you know we deal with a certain person this way they'll hate me 01:10:01.580 |
I don't know if just because my mind is muddy and I need more focus but I just pray for wisdom 01:10:13.660 |
you know a kind of wisdom that considers the people that we're serving 01:10:21.740 |
and not just actually from experiences of the past 01:10:25.100 |
not not just simply from questions of what what was good in the past and what 01:10:29.020 |
what did we do last time but actually spiritually good and this translates 01:10:34.140 |
immediately into a lot of the counseling that I do please pray that I would be wise 01:10:44.300 |
I think that kind of false folly of well you're just like this person so I'm going to say to you 01:10:50.060 |
exactly what I told this guy or something like that can can be something that I fall into as a pitfall 01:10:57.740 |
but you know my request is that you would you would pray for a kind of wisdom that's truly 01:11:03.500 |
observant of the need of the moment for each individual 01:11:07.660 |
that cares deeply about their soul and is giving guidance that actually applies 01:11:13.020 |
that is from the scripture that is truthful and filled with love 01:11:16.860 |
and then in just kind of generic wisdom wise I do sometimes feel like man I 01:11:24.300 |
I need wisdom just to manage myself like wisdom to manage 01:11:40.540 |
to be a husband to have that role and have the ambition of 01:11:47.260 |
and just out of just sheer distraction or lack of focus sometimes you know those things can really 01:11:53.980 |
fall by the wayside so my prayer request is first and foremost for this 01:11:58.140 |
that I would have a sensibility where I can have my eyes open 01:12:01.900 |
I'm alert and I could feel and know the need of the hour okay 01:12:15.020 |
my father's reaching into maybe I think is 83 my mom's close there and I can hear just more and more of 01:12:25.100 |
you know their own angst because they're both lonely they're they're both physically experiencing difficulties 01:12:43.660 |
my prayer request is that I would have an ambition to be as a faithful son 01:12:48.620 |
to minister to them to the best of my ability 01:12:52.380 |
to be present for them and it's weird because I am the youngest I'm 01:13:00.300 |
I talk about you know fear of the words you say and fear of how how to be of encouragement 01:13:08.300 |
but I have concern for their faith I I want them in their later years to actually have assurance 01:13:13.500 |
I want them to be strong in faith and then yet sometimes honestly speaking 01:13:19.260 |
I am pretty scared to speak to them you know so 01:13:23.100 |
my prayer request is for boldness and faithfulness as a son to minister to my parents 01:13:28.940 |
and then finally as you guys know I'm a youth group pastor 01:13:32.140 |
and I have been so challenged by the youth group students because 01:13:35.900 |
lately I've been seeing so many youth group students come close to understanding gospel 01:13:40.700 |
a lot of youth group students are giving their lives to Christ and and being converted 01:13:45.100 |
and in the midst of that my prayer request is that God would use me 01:13:49.020 |
I'm on the pulpit with our teachers regularly 01:13:52.060 |
but my two sons are sitting there within the congregation of our of our youth group 01:13:56.620 |
and they're looking at me you know and sometimes I look at them and because 01:14:04.780 |
but I too again within this kind of circumstance want to have the courage to speak boldly into their lives 01:14:10.220 |
but my prayer request for that specifically is obviously they see me at home and I want to be such an example for them 01:14:27.900 |
I can be the one talking with them and praying with them holding their hands 01:14:42.860 |
like many of the children all the children here so blessed 01:14:47.180 |
to receive instruction to receive the teaching 01:14:50.460 |
to be so close to godly individuals all around 01:15:03.260 |
please pray that God would use me and my wife to be that shining light of glory for my boys 01:30:42.300 |
Okay, if I can get you guys into groups of four, okay? 01:30:59.900 |
If you can just turn around where you're at, you can come to the front and sit in the front if you want. 01:31:04.280 |
But if I can get you guys into groups of four, then let me share the four prayer requests we have for this evening, corporate prayer. 01:31:10.360 |
And then after a time of prayer, our praise team is going to come up and he's going to finish us. 01:31:17.520 |
So can you turn around, grab four people around you, and when I see you in your groups, then we'll share the four prayer requests. 01:31:30.580 |
If you're cramped, if you're cramped, you can come up to the front and sit in the front if you want, if you have good backs. 01:31:56.780 |
If you want more space, you guys can just come up to the front. 01:32:17.740 |
So there's five things out there, but number one is basically we'll give you some time to share your prayer requests with the people with you. 01:32:25.480 |
And then number two, we're going to pray for the upcoming college students who are coming into town. 01:32:32.480 |
Just like Pastor Sung mentioned, the semester schools are already starting. 01:32:39.100 |
And I guess obviously you guys know that every year when that time comes around, we have an influx of students that are coming in. 01:32:45.540 |
And, you know, a lot of the students who are coming in grew up in the church, but they're not Christians. 01:32:50.420 |
And so it's a great opportunity to share the gospel with them. 01:32:53.100 |
I know that the college group is actively engaged. 01:32:56.640 |
Pastor Nate is trying to engage our BAM and other parts of our ministry to be aware that it's not just like college student coming. 01:33:04.460 |
These are souls that are coming into our church, many of them who do not know Christ, 01:33:08.500 |
that we would have the mindset of evangelizing and sharing the gospel with them. 01:33:12.540 |
So if they're lost, they don't know Christ, they're coming to church because maybe their parents are sending them. 01:33:17.600 |
But again, we always get an influx of non-Christians coming into church so that our whole church will be mindful of that. 01:33:24.900 |
Number three, pray for our upcoming Bible study in Genesis. 01:33:27.880 |
That home group, small group leads for spiritual fervency to appoint the members to Christ. 01:33:33.380 |
And I know that the schedule, you know, having a time at break was great. 01:33:37.260 |
But through the Bible study that our church may be thoroughly equipped and to grow as a church, 01:33:43.920 |
and especially for the home group leads and the small group leads, that God would use them. 01:33:47.980 |
And not to be fatigued, but really be able to use this opportunity to build a healthy church. 01:33:52.860 |
And then number four, pray specifically for the unbelievers in your life. 01:33:57.180 |
It's hard to pray for people who we don't know if we're not praying for the people that we already know. 01:34:03.220 |
So identify who they are if you get some time to pray for them. 01:34:07.540 |
And then finally, as you guys have been seeing, every update that we get now, 01:34:13.100 |
every update that I post on our church Facebook page, there's some sort of beating. 01:34:18.280 |
So those of you who know, who've been to India, you know who Pastor David is, not Pastor Sake, but his younger brother. 01:34:23.360 |
He was beaten in the village that he went to, so they asked for prayer for him. 01:34:28.060 |
And so this is a regular occurrence happening in India. 01:34:34.560 |
But if you can pray for our pastors, Pastor, if you know them, those of you who've been there, 01:34:39.360 |
know them by name, please pray for them and their children. 01:34:42.800 |
We did drop off some money so they can buy some land, so they can build a school, 01:34:47.520 |
so that the pastor's children could be educated because, again, that funding is being blocked by the local Hindus. 01:34:54.320 |
And so if you can pray specifically for the pastors who are there and for their ministry and their wives and children as well. 01:35:00.620 |
So those of you guys who remember, last year when we went, while we were there, 01:35:04.500 |
like a day or two before we showed up, while Pastor Sake was out doing ministry out in the villages, 01:35:10.300 |
he was gone for about a week, radical Hindus came and tried to burn the house down. 01:35:14.980 |
And so she didn't feel safe while we were there, so she had to be moved somewhere else 01:35:22.980 |
So persecution has been increasing, but it's becoming more and more intense 01:35:28.580 |
because everything that they do, the police aren't doing anything about it, 01:35:32.180 |
so they're much more emboldened than they were before. 01:35:34.380 |
So if you guys can please pray for them, okay? 01:35:37.460 |
So let me give you guys some time in your group to divvy up the prayer request. 01:35:42.520 |
In about 10, 15 minutes, we'll call you back, and our worship team will lead us, 01:35:48.380 |
So, okay, let me take some time to pray for each other. 01:35:52.500 |
And again, you have about 15 minutes, and I know it's not a long time, 01:35:55.460 |
but take about 15 minutes to pray, and then we'll get back together, okay? 01:36:28.940 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:33.940 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:36.260 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:37.980 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:39.900 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:41.760 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:43.160 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:45.400 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:47.660 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:49.200 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:50.800 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:36:55.800 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:37:01.800 |
I know it's not a long time, but I know it's not a long time. 01:51:15.800 |
Our worship team is going to lead us in final praise. 01:51:35.800 |
and then our praise team is going to lead us off. 01:51:38.800 |
Father, we thank you so much for giving us this evening 01:51:51.800 |
is more powerful than anything else that we do. 01:51:53.800 |
help us, Lord God, to be constantly humble before your throne. 01:51:57.800 |
Help us to know, Father, that you have called us 01:52:02.800 |
that we would not live our lives centered on our needs 01:52:13.800 |
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 01:52:16.800 |
Help us, Lord God, to see the lost as you see them, 01:52:22.800 |
that you allowed your son to be sacrificed for our sins. 01:52:26.800 |
Help us, Lord God, that that would never become mundane. 01:52:29.800 |
Help us so that that would never become simply a memory, 01:52:32.800 |
but that it would be the source of our strength. 01:52:35.800 |
It would be a source of our worship, our fellowship, our love, 01:52:41.800 |
Help us to know the gift that you have given us in this church, 01:52:44.800 |
that we would not simply end in satisfaction. 01:52:47.800 |
But I pray, Father God, that that joy may overflow 01:52:53.800 |
Lord, we are living in the midst of so much suffering around us. 01:53:02.800 |
Lord, I pray for the members in our church who are hurting, 01:53:05.800 |
even now, of their family members that they have lost, 01:53:09.800 |
for the many difficulties, Lord God, that they may be in. 01:53:13.800 |
I pray, Father God, that you would surround them with your comfort, 01:53:16.800 |
that your presence, Lord God, would be their healing, 01:53:19.800 |
and that we would constantly learn, Father God, over and over again, 01:53:26.800 |
that we may truly be able to find our rest in you. 01:53:29.800 |
So I pray that all the prayers that we've lifted up, Lord God, 01:53:33.800 |
knowing that you have heard it, that we would live in faith, 01:53:38.800 |
and that our Sunday, Father God, this coming Sunday, 01:53:40.800 |
that we would worship you genuinely in spirit and in truth. 01:53:43.800 |
So for that end, Lord God, we pray that you would receive glory to your name. 01:54:09.280 |
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring. 01:55:14.460 |
And fill me with your heart and lead me in your love to those around me. 01:58:53.420 |
Those of you who didn't finish, if you want to stay and finish up your prayer with your small group, 01:58:59.840 |
And then if the rest of us, if some of you guys can help us put the chairs back and so we can get ready for Sunday as well. 01:59:05.940 |
And then, so again, this room will be open for a little bit until we're done praying.
