PRAYER TIME
“Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.” Phil. 4:6 (KJV)
Choir Response
*Reading of the Scripture
Minister:
People:(Sing)
Minister:
THESE TRUTHS ABOUT FASTING:
1.
Fasting loosens the bands of wickedness – “…Is this not the fast that I have
chosen? To loosen the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and
to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?” (Isaiah 58:1-14).
2.
Fasting builds our faith – “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and
fasting.” (Matthew 17:21)
3.
Fasting makes it easier to hear the voice of the Lord – “As they ministered to
the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for
the work whereunto I have called them.” And when they had fasted and
prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.” (Acts 13:2-3).
THE DECALOGUE
And God spoke all these words saying, I am the Lord thy God
who brought Thee out of land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage. Thou shall have no other Gods before me.
Lord have mercy upon us, and incline our heart to keep this law.
Hear what Christ our Savior saith, thou shall love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with thy entire
mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second
is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these
two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
People:(Sing)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as
it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without
end. ...Amen

CORPORATE PRAYER
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW
Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise

Minister:
I was glad when they said unto me; let us go into the house of
the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, Oh Jerusalem.
Psalm 122:1-2
People:
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand, I had
rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to
dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Psalm 84:10
Minister:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate
your enemy.’
People:
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you,
Minister:
That you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes
his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the
righteous and the unrighteous.
People:
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
Minister:
And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more
than others? Do not even pagans do that?
All:
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Amen
Matthew 5:43-48
Peacemakers | Our Daily Bread
Abigail was a remarkable woman! She was a true peacemaker whose
courage spared the future king of Israel from committing a terrible sin.
Here’s her story: David had been forced to live in the countryside to
escape King Saul’s jealous wrath. A group of about 600 men and their
families had gathered around him. For several months they camped near
Carmel where the flocks of Nabal (Abigail’s husband) were grazing.
Bishop M. LaVerne David’s men had helped Nabal’s shepherds protect the sheep from
Lattimore Ball
robbers. Now the shearing time had come, and David sent messengers to
request some compensation from Nabal, who was a wealthy man. But he refused and
treated David’s men with disdain. In anger David rashly decided to kill Nabal and all the
men in his household. When Abigail heard what had happened, she quickly gathered a
large supply of food, intercepted David and his fighting men, and humbly apologized for
her husband’s surly behavior. David immediately realized that she had prevented him from
carrying out a vengeful decision, and he praised God (1 Samuel 25:32).
Are we as quick to resolve a conflict? Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
shall be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9).
Reading God’s Word in the Sermon
Since we forget 90% of what we hear, it has been suggested by our Bishop, that note-taking will
double the percentage of our take-home response. Why not try it and see.
Scripture Reference:
Sermon Topic:
I listened today for a message from God’s Word, I heard His truths…I want to remember
Other main Points
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH(THE APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ His
only Son, Our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit Born of the Virgin Mary; suffered
under Pontius Pilate; was crucified dead and buried. He descended into hell. On the third
day He arose from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and sitteth at the right hand of
God the Father almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I
believe in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Christian Church; the Communion of Saints; the
forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. .Amen
How will the message work in my life?
1.
What did God say specifically to me during the Sermon?
2.
Is there anything, which God would have me to do?
3.
Will I do it?
VISION
To develop fully mature disciples of Jesus Christ.
