Prayer Service // 7.13.25 · REZ CHURCH Podcast

0:22
Good morning. Welcome to this prayer service
0:28
that we have the privilege of of joining in on.
0:31
My name is Pastor Steve, and I'm going to open this up with
0:35
prayer from Revelation 48. I've always wanted to be up here
0:42
and talk about the Book of Revelation, but I'll keep my
0:45
comments to the word of God because we all have our
0:48
opinions. But I do want to point out that
0:52
this whole platform and stage and all this ambiance was set up
0:57
so that we could envision a Star Wars type environment where they
1:02
go into the farthest reaches of the Galaxy.
1:05
Well, Lieutenant Sora, on the first day of this this vacation,
1:11
Bible school, WrestleMania. Thank you, Steve.
1:14
She stayed at that console and foolishly took us to the
1:17
furthest ends of the universe, put everybody at risk at Mach 10
1:23
or warped in, whatever that was, and then they had to fight their
1:27
way back. Well, that's an imagination.
1:32
This is real. The apostle John was transported
1:37
up into the heavens and God opened up the veil to let him
1:42
see what we will see in the future.
1:46
So let me read this revelation 4/8 through 11.
1:54
And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings are
1:58
are full of eyes all around. And within the day and night
2:02
they never cease to say, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God
2:09
Almighty, who was and is and is to come.
2:13
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor
2:17
and thanks to Him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever
2:21
and ever, the 24 elders fall down before him who is seated on
2:27
the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever.
2:31
They cast their crowns before the throne saying worthy are you
2:35
our Lord, our Lord and God to receive glory and honor and
2:40
power for your created all. You created all things and by
2:44
your will they existed and were created.
2:48
And here's the interesting part. He created us and we are the
2:52
only ones he created in his image.
2:56
So if you would like, as I go through this prayer, you could
3:00
stand, you could worship. The whole goal is to bring you
3:02
to the throne where the elders were able to see, where John was
3:09
able to witness that we will someday witness.
3:12
So as I pray, feel free to call out to him.
3:16
Feel free to enjoin me in prayer as I pause.
3:20
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty who, who was and is and
3:26
is to come. And Father, as we stand before
3:30
you in this sanctuary, yes, many times we call this an
3:34
auditorium. It's a skit place.
3:35
But today this is a sanctuary representing the fact that we
3:40
are before your throne as your people.
3:43
Oh Lord our God, we gather today not merely to ask, but first to
3:49
adore. You are the beginning, the
3:53
Alpha, Omega, and the beginning and the end.
3:56
You existed before time began, and you will reign when time is
4:00
no more. You are wholly beyond
4:04
comprehension, perfect in purity, unmatched in majesty.
4:14
As the living creatures and elders fall before you, before
4:18
your throne, so we bow our hearts before you.
4:22
We echo the song of heaven. Worthy are you, our Lord and
4:27
God, to receive glory and honour and power.
4:30
For you created all things, and by Your will they existed and
4:35
were created. Oh Holy Father, we just
4:39
recognize the fact that You are the Creator and we are the
4:44
created. Let Your creation honor you and
4:47
worship You, and not only that but enlighten you before others.
4:53
Lord, You are not only powerful, you are personal.
4:58
You know us, You see us, You search us and understand every
5:02
thought from afar. And in Psalms 139 you say, you
5:08
hem me in behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
5:12
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.
5:15
It is high, I cannot attain it. And again we are in awe of you,
5:21
Lord, for your Majesty, you are the Sovereign King who set the
5:27
stars in place, and yet you draw near to us in love and mercy.
5:33
You are great and greatly to be praised.
5:37
We exalt you today not for what you give, but for who You are.
5:47
Lord, it's hard for us to even imagine who You are and what
5:52
You've given us, but that we do exalt You in humble obedience.
5:58
We marvel at Your holiness. We stand in awe of Your power.
6:03
We are overwhelmed by your goodness.
6:08
Lord, let us let worship rise in this place like instance before
6:12
your throne. Let every heart here be caught
6:16
up in wonder and reverence and we and we.
6:22
And as we prepare for the harvest you're bringing today,
6:26
remind us you alone are the one who saves, and you are the
6:32
author of salvation, and you are the Lamb who was slain and the
6:38
lion who reigns. So we cast our crowns, our
6:43
pride, our plans, our preferences before you.
6:47
You are worthy of it. All.
6:50
Glory and honor and praise belong to you forever and ever.
6:57
In Jesus holy name we pray, Amen and Amen, Amen.
7:07
Isn't the Lord faithful man? I am just in awe of this week in
7:13
particular, Man, we we're broken, we're lost.
7:19
As a people, especially in this community, you get to see what
7:23
the schemes of the devil, what the temptations of the world
7:26
looks like in the lives of our community.
7:30
And if there is an example of the tangible grace of God, I see
7:35
it this week. I see so many kids, so many
7:38
parents, so many friends that come in here broken and lost in
7:41
the hope of the gospel is preached to their heart when
7:46
there's nothing left. Money won't do it.
7:52
Status won't do it. Even relationships won't do it.
7:56
Jesus enters that space and he says that place in your heart
8:02
that has kept you up at night, that thing that is missing is
8:06
me. And although we don't seek and
8:08
we're the rebel and we want nothing to do with him, He
8:11
pursues us. He's got long legs.
8:14
He is a faithful God. So we are going to have a prayer
8:18
of thankfulness to God's faithfulness today.
8:21
So if you would pray with me, Lord, our hearts are humbled
8:28
that we were so far off and that we were not seeking, we were not
8:34
desiring to find you. Yet you found us.
8:37
Heavenly Father, we thank you because you are faithful.
8:42
We praise your name for the mission and the work here at
8:45
Resurrection Church and that we get to labor with you.
8:49
Got our prayer this morning for our community, for our children,
8:54
for the children of this community.
8:56
And the parents would be that your spirit would be poured out
8:58
of fresh and that they would experience you.
9:01
We pray that you would be in every ministry, in every
9:04
gathering, in every soul who walks through these doors.
9:09
God, that Your word would go forth in power and would turn
9:12
hearts of stone to hearts of flesh and let lives be
9:17
transformed for your glory. God, we thank you for this local
9:22
community of Resurrection Church.
9:23
God, we pray that you would strengthen our pastors, our
9:26
leaders, our volunteers, our laypeople.
9:29
That you would give us wisdom, vision, endurance to shepherd
9:34
this community well. That you would unite us in one
9:37
body, That we would be rooted in love above all else.
9:43
That we would see you in everything that you're doing.
9:45
And this church would be a reflection of the light of
9:48
Christ to our neighborhood. Let this place where your name
9:53
is honored give you glory. Let your presence be known, your
9:58
purposes fulfilled. God, we trust in you and you
10:01
alone. We look forward with expectation
10:04
for greater things to come. God, we thank you for planting
10:08
this church specifically, sovereignly in this community
10:12
that we can love this community well.
10:15
God, we thank you that you have sustained this church for years,
10:20
and we thank you for every soul that has been brought through
10:22
these doors, every life that has been touched by your word, and
10:25
every act of love and goodness that has flowed through this
10:28
place. God, we praise you for Wrest
10:32
Mania, for every child that has walked through these doors.
10:46
That encountered hope for the first time in their life.
10:54
They've experienced peace and purpose for the first time in
10:58
their life. Every seed of truth that you
11:02
have planted, God, we thank you for every game, every craft,
11:09
every lesson that was taught and that we see you in all of it.
11:15
God, we praise you for the volunteers of WrestleMania, the
11:17
leaders, the families who gave their time, their energy, their
11:20
resources to serve you and your kingdom's purposes.
11:23
May you grow them abundantly. And God, we are especially
11:28
grateful for your faithfulness shown in the lives that were
11:31
changed. Those who have come to know
11:34
Jesus and will come to know Jesus here in a few hours.
11:38
Those who have felt seen and valued for the first time in
11:41
their life. Those who have found joy in your
11:45
presence. May those seeds planted continue
11:48
to grow and bear fruit for your Kingdom.
11:52
Let this just be the beginning of the great work that you are
11:55
doing in our community. And God, we lift up the gospel
11:59
that will be preached. What a burden it is to share the
12:04
gospel. What a heavyweight.
12:07
Yet you entrust us with this. And we know, God, that before we
12:11
ever speak a word, that you are already at work softening
12:16
hearts, opening minds to receive your truth.
12:18
And we pray that it would be received.
12:21
Lord, we praise you for the quiet ways that you have been
12:24
moving in conversations and circumstances, even in the pain
12:28
of this community, to draw people closer to yourself.
12:31
We praise You. Lord, we thank you for every
12:35
heart that is being made ready to receive.
12:38
And God, we thank you for the privilege of being a part of
12:41
your redemptive work. We acknowledge that salvation
12:45
belongs to you and you alone, and yet you graciously invite us
12:50
to join in on your mission. Father, lastly, may your Holy
12:56
Spirit continue to move powerfully in this church in
13:01
this moment, in the 11:00 service, when all of the
13:04
families and kids are here, may it move powerfully.
13:07
Let every word be spoken, be saturated with grace and truth.
13:11
Let hearts be stirred, eyes open, and life change forever,
13:15
not because of our efforts, but because of your glory and
13:19
goodness. And it's in Jesus name we pray.
13:22
Amen. How y'all doing?
13:32
We're making it. Yeah.
13:34
We're doing good. All right, a little, little
13:36
participation before we move on. Everyone look to your right and
13:40
tell the person sitting there, man, I'm glad you're here today.
13:44
Now turn to your left. Turn to your left and say no,
13:48
I'm glad you're here today. I get the opportunity to lead us
13:57
in prayer for other churches today for their ministry.
14:03
How many of you guys have been a part of at least one church?
14:08
1 local church. Just so you know, you're here.
14:11
So everyone's hand should be raised.
14:13
Just say more than more than two, More than three.
14:19
I've been a part of four. You can put your hands down.
14:21
I've been a part of four local churches and each one of those
14:25
churches in their unique way, discipled me into the person I
14:32
am today. The first church I was basically
14:36
born into my I was born and then my parents took me to church the
14:40
next day. I think I've been a part of a
14:43
local church my whole life, but what that church taught me to
14:47
the age of 5 was church is big and God is real.
14:53
So the the very first church I was a part of, that's what it
14:56
taught me. The second church was it taught
14:58
me God's word is truth and God works all things for the good
15:04
for those who love the Lord. That's what the second church
15:07
taught me. Third church taught me is God's
15:10
love is radical. And those fourth church has
15:14
taught me God is in control even when the world around us is
15:18
falling apart. Without those truths impacting
15:24
me, I don't know where I would be today.
15:27
And we thank God for all of the local churches and how they're
15:32
equipping and shaping God's people.
15:35
So join me in prayer as we lift up other churches around us.
15:43
And may the Lord make you increase, and it bound in love
15:47
for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that He may
15:52
establish your hearts blameless in holiness before God and
15:59
Father at the coming of the Lord Jesus with all his Saints.
16:06
And beloved, I pray that all may go well with you, and that you
16:11
may be in good health as it goes well with your soul.
16:15
For I rejoice greatly when the brothers came and testified to
16:19
your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth.
16:23
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are
16:28
walking in the truth. Father God, Lord, thank you for
16:34
your system. You know I love systems.
16:37
I love to understand how things work, God.
16:40
And the way that your body works is amazing.
16:44
God, all these churches that are not in competition but are in
16:49
unity, God, around your word, around your truth, around your,
16:54
your son, God, we just thank you for those.
16:57
God, we thank you for working together in unity with other
17:03
churches. God, we thank you for bodies of
17:07
believers coming together to making a bigger impact than we
17:10
could ever make by ourselves. God, or today I want to lift up
17:15
a church in Yuba City, God Adventure Church.
17:18
They recently had their largest kid camp ever with 400 kids that
17:22
came with over 100 that received Christ for the first time.
17:27
God, God, we thank you for that impact.
17:30
We thank you for that church and God.
17:33
Now they're on the missions field. 2 weeks ago they had a
17:36
kids camp and this week they're in a foreign country.
17:38
God, thank you for the impact that that church is making in
17:43
Yuba City and throughout the world.
17:45
God, God, thank you for Fellowship Baptist Church here
17:48
in Bakersfield. God, they recently had their
17:51
kids camp and they're reaching people that are so far from you
17:55
and they're so different from from who they are.
17:58
God, But because of your love and the love of Fellowship
18:02
Baptist Church God, people are meeting Christ for the first
18:05
time. People from the sick religion
18:08
God are meeting you for the first time, God, and we thank
18:12
you for that, Father God. Lord, I just ask you for your
18:16
blessings on the other churches here in Bakersfield, God for
18:22
Niles St. Southern First Southern Baptist
18:24
Church, God, I pray for them as they're struggling.
18:26
God, I pray for a fresh wind and a fresh fire, God, where they
18:31
can pursue you, they can go into their community that's so far
18:34
from you, God, and they can make an impact on Lord, I pray for
18:39
unity. God is pray for that.
18:42
All of our churches, all of your churches, God will preach the
18:46
gospel boldly. God in unity will preach the
18:49
truth. God in unity that we can be more
18:52
about what we're for and less about what we're against.
18:56
God, Lord, I pray for families here in Bakersfield, the lost,
19:02
the ones that are in the dark places.
19:04
God, I pray that a local church will reach out.
19:08
We'll love on them God, and we'll be able to show them the
19:11
gospel, teach them the gospel, and allow them to receive the
19:14
gospel. God, Lord, God, I pray that
19:17
because of the local churches here in Bakersfield, Bakersfield
19:22
will start to look different, will start to sound different,
19:26
will start to feel different. We'll start to love, we'll find
19:29
hope again, we'll find joy again because of local churches
19:34
preaching the truth, preaching the gospel, and preaching about
19:37
a good godfather. God, Lord, we thank you for all
19:41
of these things. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
19:48
OK guys, this is where I want everybody to stand up.
19:52
Anybody that can stand up, stand up, roll, roll your shoulders
19:56
back a little bit and shake out your arms like this, like this.
20:02
Last week I saw Pastor Daniel doing that.
20:04
I go, this guy's a psycho man. He's over here getting ready to
20:07
preach and he's doing this, He's getting all ready.
20:09
But he's it's like he's going into battle, right?
20:13
OK, you guys can have a seat. You can have a seat.
20:15
OK? He's going in about there's a
20:16
battle for souls, right? It happens all the time.
20:21
Satan wants them, God wants them.
20:24
But I just want to tell you. God loves you, the pastors and
20:29
the elders of Resurrection Church love you.
20:32
We're called to oversee, to shepherd, to equip Saints and a
20:39
hyper focus in the last couple years for us has been out of
20:43
Acts 6/4 is to be devoted to prayer and ministry of the word.
20:48
Everything that we do is driven by the great commandment, which
20:52
is to love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul mind to
20:55
love others and also the Great Commission to go ye there for
21:00
making disciples of all nations and baptizing them.
21:03
That's our goal. And we have an incredible
21:05
opportunity today with people coming into this House of
21:09
worship that might not normally come and they're going to hear
21:14
the gospel presented. Maybe it's for the first time.
21:17
And as Sean was saying, there's that void in their heart.
21:20
There's something missing. They don't know what it is and
21:22
they they'll hear today we pray that the Holy Spirit works in
21:25
their lives and lives are transformed.
21:29
And it's times like these. I wish I would have written
21:32
something down right, because I've been thinking about this
21:36
for a week. But I, I want to pray for broken
21:40
homes, for hurting families, want to get to that.
21:43
But it's, it's if you think about your sphere of influence,
21:48
you think about the people around you.
21:50
There's a lot of people that you know that are hurting.
21:54
There's a lot of people that you know, they're part of a broken
21:57
family. There's a lot of there's a lot
22:00
of families without dads. But we have a heavenly Father
22:03
who loves us and has a plan for our lives.
22:07
And we have the opportunity to to share that good news today.
22:12
So I want to pray. We're going to go to the
22:16
Scriptures in Psalm. Father of the fatherless and
22:20
protector of widows is God. In his holy habitation.
22:24
God settles the solitary in a home.
22:27
He leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious
22:32
dwell in a parched land. The thief comes to kill, steal
22:39
and destroy. Jesus came that we may have life
22:43
and have it more abundantly or to the full additional
22:47
scriptures we talked about Isaiah comfort for the broken
22:51
hearted as well as Psalms 147 talks about broken hearted.
22:54
Matthew 11/28/30. This is the verse for all of you
22:58
volunteers this week. Come to me all who are weary.
23:03
It's been a long week, but there's a payday coming.
23:06
It's a great day. I just, I think about the single
23:09
parents struggling to provide and guide for their families,
23:12
how difficult that is juggling a job, family and everything that
23:17
goes on in their lives. Think about children from broken
23:20
or unstable homes and just this sanctuary is truly a place of
23:26
sanctuary for them this week when they're here, they know
23:29
they're loved, they're taken care of.
23:30
Talk about families facing financial hardships.
23:34
It's, it's happening all around us, right?
23:36
3 generations in the same household.
23:39
It's a tough time we're in those dealing with addiction, abuse
23:43
and abandonment. So our fervent prayer, let's go
23:47
into prayer right now. Our fervent prayer is for you,
23:51
God, that you would use this day to bring hope and healing to a
23:57
broken and hurting world to families that are just feel like
24:03
I I don't know if I can even get through this week through this
24:06
day, through this hour. Dear Lord, I pray that you just
24:10
bring them peace, comfort, wisdom, everything they need to
24:15
have the joy and the peace that comes only from you, that they
24:19
know that they know that they know that they have peace, joy
24:23
and everlasting and there's no condemnation for them.
24:26
We lift this this service up to you later, dear Lord, that you'd
24:31
lead, guide and direct that you, the Holy Spirit, works in the
24:33
lives of your people for an incredible harvest.
24:37
We just love you and praise you and to you goes all the glory
24:40
for all that we do. We pray these things in Jesus
24:43
name and for his sake. Amen.
24:45
Amen. All right, if you are a dad in
24:49
the room, stand up. Come on.
24:55
Let me tell you what studies say in our culture right now, if the
25:02
Father in the home comes to Christ, there is a 91% chance
25:07
that those kids will follow Christ.
25:08
Amen. If the dad does not, only one in
25:13
50 children will follow Christ. You matter, gentlemen.
25:20
The way you pursue Christ matters.
25:24
The way you steward your home matters.
25:27
Your personal confession and repentance and pursuit of Christ
25:32
matters. In fact, there's not a single
25:34
factor that is a higher probability that your home will
25:38
follow Christ other than how you follow Christ.
25:40
It's not the school you put them in.
25:43
It's not the church you go to. It's not the youth ministry
25:46
they're part of. It's how you pursue Christ
25:49
authentically, both in the private places where you think
25:53
no one's watching. They are in the home and in the
25:56
public space. You matter Father God, will you
26:01
chase these men? Will you protect these men?
26:05
Will you inspire them? Will you convict them?
26:09
And will you encourage them and help them to lead while they
26:13
follow you in Jesus name, Amen. You may sit down in Matthew says
26:25
this about Jesus. When Jesus saw the crowds, he
26:29
had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless
26:32
like sheep without a shepherd. And then he said to his
26:35
disciples, the harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are
26:40
few. Therefore pray earnestly to the
26:44
Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.
26:49
By one statistic that I read recently, 92% of Kern County is
26:53
lost, 8% is saved. I'm not talking about who goes
26:58
to church, I'm talking about who knows Jesus.
27:00
Because there are people sitting in churches all over this county
27:03
that don't know Jesus. They know church, they know
27:05
religion, they know how to put on church clothes, but they
27:09
don't know Christ personally. 92% you no longer have to go to
27:17
Romania or Africa to find lost people.
27:20
Walk out your front door. They're all around us.
27:28
The harvest is plentiful. This is what Jesus came for.
27:33
He said this in Luke 19. He said for the Son of Man came
27:40
to seek and save the lost. Jesus came for people like you
27:49
and I people who are far from him, people who wanted nothing
27:54
to do with him, people that never thought of themselves as
27:57
Christian or maybe thought of themselves as good enough and
27:59
not needing Christ and he came for us anyways.
28:03
In fact the Bible says in second Peter the Lord is not slow to
28:07
fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but he is
28:10
patient towards you, not wishing that any should perish but that
28:14
all should reach repentance. I saw someone say recently why
28:17
doesn't God just remove all of the evil from the world and
28:21
someone else responded, well it's a good thing he didn't
28:24
because then he would remove you and I.
28:29
He is slow to anger. In Romans 1013 through 15 the
28:40
Bible says this for everyone who calls in the name of the Lord
28:45
will be saved. How then will they call on him
28:48
in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in
28:51
him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without
28:56
someone preaching? And how are they to preach
28:59
unless they are sent as it is written?
29:00
How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news.
29:02
That's what we're going to do today.
29:05
I'm going to preach the good news.
29:09
I want you to pray with me today for the salvation of the people
29:14
that are coming in these doors. In a few moments, that God would
29:17
soften an open hearts to his message that the presentation of
29:21
the gospel be clear and articulate, and the Holy Spirit
29:28
would allow that message to sink in and take root.
29:31
And that those families would come back and allow themselves
29:33
to be discipled as part of the community of Christ.
29:36
Pray with me, Father God, we beg earnestly that you would move
29:42
mightily in this place today, that people who are far from you
29:48
would come, that they would hear the message, that they would
29:52
receive it, they would be implanted God, and that they
29:56
would return to allow discipleship to occur.
29:59
That they would join into a community of faith.
30:02
God that is following you, that is worshipping you.
30:07
God that is raised from death to life.
30:09
We desire men and women and kids to be saved, and we can't do it.
30:16
We are powerless. We are unqualified, we haven't
30:23
earned it, and we don't deserve it.
30:27
But God, being rich in mercy, you have lavished upon us every
30:34
heavenly gift, rich riches upon riches.
30:39
And Father God, we pray for those coming today that you
30:43
would save them. We pray to God that you would
30:52
change the trajectory of homes all over this neighborhood, the
30:56
dysfunctional home, the single parent home, the home in poverty
31:01
or in dysfunction or in disarray.
31:05
God that you would enter these homes and give them hope.
31:11
By this we know love that He laid down His life for us, and
31:16
we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
31:19
And if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in
31:21
need, he closes his heart against him.
31:23
How does God's love abide in him?
31:25
Little children, let us not love in Word or talk, but in deed and
31:29
in truth. Jesus name, Amen.
31:34
All right, will you stand with me?
31:34
We're going to do a, we're going to close with a little
31:36
responsive reading. You've got a part to play in
31:38
this, just like you have a part to play in an hour or so when
31:42
people start coming in these doors.
31:45
I'm going to read Psalm 118 and your job, it's very easy, is to
31:51
say his steadfast love endures forever.
31:54
Try it once. Go ahead.
31:58
It's almost like you knew. All right.
32:06
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
32:12
Let those who fear the Lord say Out of my distress I called on
32:19
the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free.
32:22
The Lord is on my side and I will not fear.
32:28
What can man do to me? The Lord is on my side as my
32:30
helper. I shall look in triumph on those
32:33
who hate me. It is better to take refuge in
32:38
the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in
32:41
the Lord than to trust in Princess.
32:46
Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter
32:49
through them and give thanks to the Lord.
32:54
Save us, we pray, O Lord, O Lord, we pray.
32:57
Give us success. You are my God and I will give
33:04
thanks to you. You are my God.
33:05
I will extol you. O give thanks to the Lord, for
33:09
he is good. Steadfast love endures forever.
33:14
If you're willing, will you extend your hands as we close in
33:17
prayer? Father God, I give you praise
33:23
and honour and glory that we ask for revival to start with us.
33:35
God, in a state known for wildfires, would you start a
33:38
different kind of fire? Would you start a revival fire?
33:44
When you start that in our hearts and in our lives, in our
33:47
private lives, in our prayer life, in the way we cling to our
33:50
Bible, in the way we desperately seek you, God, in the way we die
33:54
to ourselves daily to pick up our cross and follow you, God,
33:57
would you start that in US? God, would you give us a mind
34:02
and a heart and eyes for others to consider others more than we
34:06
consider ourselves? God, would you help us to have a
34:10
heart that serves other people? And God, will you use us and
34:16
what meager talents and gifts we have to spread the good news
34:24
now. We pray that you move in this
34:27
place today and God I pray for this people, your people whom
34:31
you have saved, that as they go out to the 11 O clock service
34:35
and to the barbecue and on Monday to work and on Tuesday as
34:39
they care for their families and their children and their
34:41
neighborhoods. God, I pray that you protect
34:43
them. God, you have commissioned them,
34:45
you have called them, you have gifted them, you have equipped
34:49
them, and Father God will you now encourage them, lift them up
34:55
and give them endurance. May you shine your face upon
34:59
them in Jesus name. And all God's people said Amen.
35:03
Amen. All right, we got one hour.
35:06
I'll see you at 11 and then I'll see you to eat some hot dogs.
35:09
We love you.
