Well, I wanna ask you to pray with me as we prepare our hearts for God's word. Pray with me, please pray for me. Lord, we just come before you this morning. Lord, we come to you.
Confessing our need for you. Recognizing, Lord, just how much we need for you. To minister your word to us. Lord, we come to you, giving you thanks and giving you praise.
Thankful Lord for Jesus who died on the cross for us so that our sins might be forgiven, and how Lord, you have placed your spirit inside of us and that Lord, we are new creatures in Christ that to sin and alive to God and that Lord, there is no condemnation. We give you thanks and we give you praise. We are asking Lord that you would use the preaching of your word this morning. To minister to us, Lord, to strengthen us, to build us up, help us, Lord, to, to, to hear what it is that you have to say to us through your word, help us to be attentive, to your word and to receive and to be built up.
Lord, we ask you these things because we know that unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain to build it. We know, Lord, that apart from you, we can do nothing. We cannot even hear. And so we ask, Lord, open our ears, open our hearts, open our eyes....
