EChurch@Wartburg: 07/18/2020: Wade Burleson: How to Make the Most of Our Life, Part 2

The Lord’s Prayer link

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.

Clement’s Prayer –96 AD

We ask you, Master, be our helper and defender.
Rescue those of our number in distress; raise up the fallen;
assist the needy; heal the sick; turn back those of your people who stray;
feed the hungry; release our captives; revive the weak;
encourage those who lose heart.
Let all the nations realize that you are the only God,
that Jesus Christ is your Child, and that we are your people and the sheep of your pasture.
Amen

Jerome’s Prayer: 342-420 AD link

Lord, thou hast given us thy Word for a light to shine upon our path;
grant us so to meditate on that Word, and to follow its teaching,
that we may find in it the light that shines more and more until the perfect day;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Scripture: Luke 14:11-14 NIV

11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends,
your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.
13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Benediction: Prayers of the Church of Scotland link

“O God, eternal and ever blessed,
Order what is disordered in our lives.
Bring our minds to Thy truth, Our conscience to Thy law,
And our hearts to Thy love. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Amen.

  1. Scarlett O’Hara (Olivia de Havilland) passed away today at 104.
    May she awake to a goodly inheritance in Olam Ha Ba.

  2. “God doesn’t define you by your past, He empowers you for your present.”

    Thanks, Wade, Peggy, Nicole, & Emmanuel Enid.
