Suggested Bible Study and Prayers
(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
1 Samuel 19
God of All the Earth, will You allow wicked men to destroy Your church? Even leaders among Your covenant people turn against us and against our holy Messiah, the Son of David. They are treacherous in their words and unstable in their hearts. Yet Your Son continues to win the victory in every battle. Why would men who claim to walk in His Name turn against Him and deny Your Word? Why are there so many Sauls and so few courageous Davids in positions of authority in Your church? Why are so many determined to bring harm upon Your people? These traitors commit themselves to hatred and are full of lies. Have mercy on us. Send us the Spirit of truth, and true and godly men full of the Spirit of Christ to lead us. We will live in the strength and holiness that You provide. We willingly give our lives for Him who died for us.
Psalm 110
Great Redeemer, You are Lord, and Your Son is also the Lord at Your right hand. Together with Your Son and Your Spirit, You are one God. May Jesus Christ rule as the King of Your kingdom forever. May we be willing servants of our royal High Priest every day. Surely no one can stand against Him, for He reigns eternally in the fullness of Your Holy Spirit.
Acts 2
Great God, You have granted to Your church the promised blessing of the Holy Spirit. You have enabled us to hear the message of Your mighty works. Glory to Your Name, O God! You will pour out Your Spirit on all flesh in the age to come. That age has broken in now through Your great work of salvation. All who call upon the Name of the Lord as worshipers in the covenant assembly shall be brought from death to life. That Name above all names is Jesus, who is the Lord of Glory. He is yet alive, and so we call upon Him even now, for He is both Man and God. He is David’s Son and David’s Lord. He is our King and our Messiah. Our sins sent Him to the cross. We now repent of all known sin. We thank You for the covenant sign and seal of baptism, testifying of the life to come by the cleansing work of the Spirit and the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Christ. We give ourselves to You and to one another, as we devote ourselves to the way of worship as the community of salvation in this present age.
