"So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel
to get their living from the gospel."
~ 1 Corinthians 9.14
to get their living from the gospel."
~ 1 Corinthians 9.14
Dear saints,
I wasn't intending to use 1 Corinthians 9.14 as the banner verse for this week, but ran across it while looking for another verse. My heart leapt with a desire to honor those among us who serve in the proclamation of the gospel, and with a desire that we who benefit from their labor would remember to "share all good things" with those who teach us the Word. It's a humbling position for them, I imagine, so let us make it a joy for them by our willingness to give them double honor, as unto the Lord.
Our Prayer Spotlight this week, August 22-28, has been on Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Pastor John Fergueson:
"Father God, thank You for Your faithfulness to those who have put their trust in You."
Our Prayer Spotlight next week, August 29-September 4 (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT IS ALREADY SEPTEMBER!!), will be on First Romanian Pentecostal Church, Pastor Vasile Antemie.
"Father in heaven, can we really be made one in Christ? Only by Your Spirit. Help us by grace not to fear this unity, that it will somehow diminish us. Just as we came to You for salvation, utterly casting our lot on Jesus, ready to let Him do whatever was needed to make us acceptable to the Father, even so we come to You for this supernatural unity that we cannot attain to by will-power or moral effort or any human effort but to trust and obey by grace...
Lord Jesus, thank You for putting a heart of worship into the brothers and sisters at First Romanian Pentecostal Church. We stand with them against every lying spirit of fear that would try to stop them from becoming all that You have called them to be in Christ, that would try to stop them from receiving all that is freely given to them in Christ, that would try to stop them from doing all the good works You have prepared beforehand that they should walk in, in Christ...
We say AMEN to all the good promises You have made to these dear saints at FRPC. Protect them from the evil one by Your great Power, Lord God. Grant them to continually have open eyes in the Spirit, open ears to hear Your voice, and open hearts to say YES to You. Let all the glory of Jesus to be revealed in them and through them right here in our community. Knit our hearts together with them in prayer and in acts of service, that Jesus may be known, exalted, and loved in Kenmore. We ask in Jesus' Name."
Prayer Requests and Praises:
--please continue to pray for a missions team going to a national, secular camp-out now through early September. Pray that the enemy would have no power to distract them or hinder them, but that they would be given great freedom to worship God unafraid, that His Light would pour out through them to the unsaved campers.
--Pray that the Kenmore Art Show at Northlake Lutheran Church, August 21 - 29, 2:30pm - 8:30pm daily, will be blessed by the Presence of the Savior, that God will make many connections to increase His harvest in our city. And go enjoy the beautiful artwork! There are musical events every evening during the art show, including the city-wide praise night on Sunday Evening, August 29 at 7:00 p.m
All events held at Northlake Lutheran Church, 6620 NE 185TH St., Kenmore, Washington. See http://www.artsofkenmore.org/ and click on EVENTS.
-Please pray that Jesus Christ--the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth, who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood--that this same heavenly King will bring His rule over our community. He cares for the sparrow, and how much more over His sons and daughters. We seek His rule over Kenmore's marketplace, to bring good occupants to the vacant business places in Kenmore.
-Join weekly prayer for the city every Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
at The Living Room ~Consignment Gallery & Tea~ next door to Care Net Pregnancy Center, by the Kenmore U.S. Post Office.
Thanking God for everything with you,
