Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father we come before you in the spirit of adoption, through the redeeming power of the blood of Jesus Christ, in which we now, as Your Beloved Children, call out Abba Father; Holy Spirit if there is anyone here today who is anxious, distracted, and burdened by the cares and worries of the world, we ask that you, Jehovah Jireh, remove these things and replace them with your peace, patience, and under-standing, in which we can allow the Holy Spirit to search and convict our hearts with the word you have given Brother Underwood. Holy Spirit, we ask you to continue to guide your faithful bondservant, giving him the utterances of your wisdom and instruction; so that in him and through him, your grace, love and truth may manifest and bless the hearts and lives of each bother here.

Almighty God, we willingly place ourselves your alter of righteousness, asking you, Jehovah Mekadesh to consume us, that we may share your Holiness and reflect the glory and good work of Jesus Christ to those around us. Holy Spirit we ask you to humble the hearts of lost men living in rebellion; we ask You to prick their hearts today Lord, that upon hearing your word from afar they may desire to come home to you Father God. We make ourselves available to receive the lost souls You send, receiving them we the love, grace and mercy, which You have given to all of us here for this very purpose.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for this day of opportunity to learn and better serve and glorify You. We give you all the praise Jesus. Amen

Benediction:

Holy Spirit, as we leave this place of fellowship, continue to unite and strengthen us as we enter back into the world; for we know this is where the mission truly begins.

Holy Spirit, keep us with a renewed and steadfast hunger for Your Word and give us more confidence Jehovah Elyan, that we may behold defenders of the faith, shinning light in darkness and allowing the lost to see the Way, the Truth and the Life living in each one here before you.

Father God, we ask you to grant us favor with this administration so that we may more effectively serve you in ministry.

Jesus, we know that our success depends on our relationship with You: the more work you do inside of us, the more work you are able to do through us. We are but vessels purchased by the blood of you, Jesus Christ. Set us apart to do your will, Lord. Father, we ask that you comfort the families of those affected by what happened in Las Vegas and that this act of hate and violence not be allowed to continue to do harm. We ask for your peace Father God and we thank you this wonderful time of worship. May you continue to mindful of us, in Jesus Name we pray, Amen
