Good Morning Almighty God
Thank You for another week and another Sabbath to come into Your house to give You praise. May we be thankful, even though it came with challenges and strife, You were with us and we made it through. May we pray for those who have lost loved ones this week and if we can, be Your presence to them in their loss. May we not be blind to their sorrow. We do not have to have the right words, the only requirement is to be present. Maybe the Holy Spirit will give us the right words to say. We can be with them in their grief and even grieve with them.
That is a problem on this world today, there is so much grief that we become numb or even blind to it. It is obviously there but with so much of it we tend to ignore or shut our eyes to it. All things that we see each day, crime, hurt, homelessness, hunger, we now treat as plaza'. Insults and hate have become the status quo, even with our leaders and want to be leaders. Father help us to understand that simply coming to church on the sabbath is not receiving an inoculation from all that is wrong, it does not make it go away. It does help our hearts and minds, but we must go out of the church, then share that Love of Christ with those that hurt, and hunger. Open our eye Lord that we may see, that we may stand up for Jesus and say it is I Lord because we have decided to follow Jesus. Grant us that power and strength Lord. In the name of Jesus I pray. AMEN

Good morning and we come to give you praise, God of power and might. You hear all of our prayers and requests. We praise Your name that we can come to You and ask anything in the name of Jesus. We do loose sight of that ability Jesus told us about and turn it into a wishing well or some all powerful genie. We pray for power and wealth. We also pray for health, for without that we cannot extend our power and money. We lust for these things and long to be in charge. We also believe it comes with Your blessing upon us. It is not wrong to desire power and wealth, however what is at the root of our asking for these things. Is it for personal gain or are we willing to use that to serve others. Father You have called us to serve others in Your Son's name so that He is glorified and we are seen as You working for the good of others. That brings us treasures in Heaven. Again is is not for personal gain of treasures in heaven but the glory of serving in Your name. Help us to have the right frame of mind and heart in our asking to You. We must be ready to serve, for we may just get what we ask for. In Jesus' name I pray AMEN

Hello Father
Another week has come and gone. It is a day that we need to come and celebrate the Sabbath. To praise You for the riches You have given us. All too often we have ourselves believing that the riches we have are what we have earned. It is true that we do work and earn the currency to purchase and possess things. We have talents we work on and perfect so that we can earn a living. We forget those talents are gifts from You. We work on how well we live and to keep our health. We forget that You gave us that last breath we took and the next one to come. We also believe, like that rich man, that we must do things to earn our salvation. Eternal life is a gift as well from You and not something that is earned. The good deeds we do are only in response to share that gift of salvation with others so that more of Your creation can share eternity together in heaven. May we come to that understanding so that our possession do not consume us. May we understand that You are more important than anything we can possess including all our riches. In the name of Jesus I pray AMEN

Tomorrow Morning at 10 AM is worship in Sanctuary, on Zoom and on Facebook live. Zoom link is listed below. The message is "Possessing Eternity"

Good Morning Adonai
You have graced us with another Sunday, another Sabbath to come an give You our praises and thanksgivings. For You have done so much to make our lives richer. You have given us a path to take and the means to travel it. You have blessed us with so many comforts that we hold dear to our hearts. You have imprinted Your Laws on our very souls. We are so grateful for what You have given us that when someone tries to take anything You have bestowed upon us we become very defensive. We will even lash out at those who would disregard or change Your teachings. How dare they blaspheme Your name and what Jesus has taught us. We truly want to defend You, Your only Son, and they will not speak harshly of the Spirit. We will step up and get between You and them.
However, do You really need us to defend You? Like You cannot defend Yourself. We forget that they are also Your creation, just as we are. When we get between You and them, they can only see us. When we stand beside You, they can see the strength and love of the Holy Trinity supported by us.
The material things are only temporal, and You created them as well. We do not truly own anything. Some of the things we possess may last longer than us, which makes us only trustees of them. You allowed us to take care of it while we are on this earth. Yet we are not very good at taking good holy care of that which You have given to us.
Adonai; Help us to not get in Your way so that others can truly see You and Your glory. Help us to be more responsible with the things You have blessed us with. May we be more loving minded, for everything on, in, above and below this earth was and is created by You. May we never forget that. In Jesus' name we pray AMEN

Good Morning Father God. We come again to Your houses of worship to give You praise and thanksgiving. You have bestowed so many blessings upon us. You have also given us so many talents that we use to benefit our daily lives. Yet we seldom use those gifts/talents to benefit Your kingdom. We also come to learn the lessons You would have for us but also to learn how to use those gifts/talents in response to Your glory. There are places that we go that You have then placed people in our paths to meet and interact with. So with those talents and gifts in such times we should be using them to help others, all the while helping ourselves into Your favor. Just as Esther used her position, talents, gifts to save her people in such a time as that, so should we use our position, talents, gifts in such a time as this. We can never come back to this time. We can make a difference right now in this time and place for what can happen in the future. So Father, help us to make good decisions that will impact the future and Your kingdom for the better, and in Your will. In Jesus' name AMEN
