Today's Sermon Scripture
1 Thessalonians 5:9-15

9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.

13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

The lesson Scripture for Sunday School is
"2 Corinthians 4:16-18 and 5:1-5:10" and the scripture to "Keep in Mind" is 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

I'm including a song I think is fitting for the Sunday School Lesson too 😇 Lord Keep Me Day By Day! "In a Building not Made by Man's Hands" https://youtu.be/lM2zWcOs7Zk

God we come to You right now. All of us standing in the need of prayer because we know we can't do anything without You.

We come to worship and to thank You Lord. We thank You for being our comfort in times of trouble. We thank You for Your mercy and Your grace. The world needs You now more than ever.

We have all been affected by the virus in one way or another. Lives have been lost. Jobs have been lost. Our whole way of life seems to have been turned upside down and sometimes just looking at the news can be overwhelming. Today we pray for those who might feel alone and hopeless right now. We pray for those who can't see the light at the end of the tunnel right now. Some people are living in fear because there are more questions than answers right now. We know this is a global crisis like nobody has seen before. Some might even call it a "perfect storm" but we know that God will show up in the midst of a storm. One word from God can bring peace in any situation. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can be a comfort to others. We pray for direction and to hear God's voice right now. Help us to be a light when darkness tries to drive out hope in the world.

We know God can and will meet our every need. We know that He is our strength when we are weak. We know that if you lean on Him, He'll lift you up. We know that if you kneel at His feet He will be your peace.

Lord forgive us for the time we spent worrying when we could've been praising Your name. Forgive us for speaking fear when we should have been demonstrating faith. We worry about every little cough when we should be thanking You for every breath we take.

Lord, in spite of all our problems, we thank You for all our blessings. We ask that You order our steps, guard our hearts and minds so we can focus on hearing from You.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen!
