Faith Covenant Presbyterian

I invite you to remain standing for the reading of God’s word. Psalm 51, verses 10-19, we look today at the rest of Psalm 51, which we started last week, the familiar hymn of David’s repentance. As we look to the reading of God’s word, he would join me in prayer. God, our helper, by your Holy Spirit, we ask that you to open our minds that as scriptures are read, that as your words proclaim, that we may be

Psalm 51:1-9, we’ll be taking the next couple of weeks to work through this psalm. It’s one of the most well-known of the Psalms of confession, one that we have sung about in many different ways. Again, very familiar, David’s Song of Confession. As we look to the reading of God’s word, though, if you would join me in prayer. Father of all mercy, you have promised never to break Your covenant with us. And amid all the changing words

As we approach the word, let us go before the Lord in prayer. Let’s pray. Father, we have heard your call to worship, and in worship, we have sung Your praise. In worship, we have confessed our sins. In worship, we have heard of your forgiveness. In that worship, we approach your word, you who opens eyes, you who unstoppable ears. Father, we pray that by the power of your Holy Spirit, you would implant your word in our hearts,

Proverbs 8: This morning we will consider wisdom and spiritual warfare. We’ll be starting with wisdom in Proverbs 8, and we’re moving to several other places in scripture. This is more topical in nature. As we look to the reading of God’s word, if you would join me in prayer. O Lord, we do ask that you would shed your light upon us, that being rid of the darkness of our hearts, that we would come into the true light,

You our text this morning. Psalm 25. Two weeks ago we considered how can I know what God’s will is for me? And today we’re going to consider a couple of the deeper issues or fears that concern us when we discuss finding God’s will in our lives. As we look to the reading of His Word though, if you please join me in prayer. Bless are you holy god in Jesus Christ. Your light shines in the darkness, and

Me. Father, as we come before your word, we ask that we would see you as we look into your word, that you would reveal yourself to us, that we would learn of your nature, learn of your love, learn of your power, understand better your plan in the world around us and in our own life. Father, as we look to your word, may we see ourselves more clearly. May we see our needs, our anxieties, our frustrations, our

You. We are in Proverbs chapter two. Proverbs two. This morning we consider what it means to find God’s will, god’s direction for our lives, as we look to the reading of God’s Word. If you’d please join me in prayer. Father of all mercies in Your Word, endless glory shine forth. It is Your Word that guides our steps and gives discernment to those who seek you. And so we ask that you would grant that we would find

You. Psalm 43 when we are laid low, how do we speak God to our hearts? So you look through the reading of God’s Word. Would you join me in prayer? Father, you know that we are dull of heart, prone to sin, prone to carelessness. So we ask that you would open our eyes to the truth of Your Gospel, that you would unplug our ears, that we would hear Your word. And Father, that it please you to

We’re starting with Proverbs 10 this morning as we consider our speech as food for the soul. I’ve referred to at times as a nuts and bolts sermon. It is a refresher of the things we already know. We go to the Word of the Lord, you join me in prayer. Living God, we do ask that you would help us to hear your Holy Word, that we may truly understand and, Lord, that in understanding we would believe, and

Numbers, Chapter 35 and 36. We reached the end of our series on the Book of numbers. We’ve been taking, as it were, a 10,000 foot view over the whole book. This morning we are going to cover the issue of murder and inheritance, as well as connecting all the dots of the whole book as it relates to the person work of Jesus. So if you’re visiting, buckle up. To begin, if you would please join me in prayer

Continuing moving through the Book of numbers, where chapters 31 and 32 are almost near the end of our series. Today we are looking, as Israel sits across still from the promised land, a victory they have over the nation of Midian, followed by a change in some of the tribes desire for their inheritance. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you join me in prayer. Most gracious God, our heavenly father, and you alone dwells

As we prepare to hear God’s Word, let’s go before him in prayer. This prayer is pulled out of Psalm 119. Let us pray. Father, as we come now before your word, we ask that our hearts would be such that we would rejoice at your word. We would be like one who has found a great spoil, that you would work in us and change us such that we might hate and abhor falsehood, but rather love your law.

John 10. Last week, Pentecost Sunday, we looked at the work of the Holy Spirit as he empowers us to bring the message of Christ as the mission of the Church. And today we continue to look then on Trinity Sunday at an aspect of that core belief in the divinity of Christ. As we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you would join me in prayer. Father, indeed, you are the source of all light. And by

Genesis 11, we’ll take a break from our series on numbers in honor of Pentecost. Pentecost was the Old Testament feast of weeks. 50 days after the Passover, they celebrated the in gathering of the harvest. And for Christians, it is the celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples for the in gathering of the harvest of the nations for Christ. And we will start then at the beginning, Genesis 11, with the scattering of the

As we have need to encourage, to bind up, to humble. But in all these things that you would turn our eyes to you, that we would see you as the great, faithful promise keeper. And you would teach us to trust in you this day. We pray this in Jesus’ name and for his sake, Amen. To you to work our way through numbers, we’ll be looking at chapters 26 and 27 this morning. Printed in your bulletin is

Remain standing for the reading of God’s Word. The account of Balaam and his donkey is probably one of the better known stories in the Bible. And through it, we see God’s commitment to bless his people. So we look to the reading of God’s Word if you join me in prayer. Our Father, Majesty and bound, worthy of all worship, and you Christ, are the King of glory, the eternal Son of the Father. And you, Holy Spirit, advocate

Numbers 21. If you’re visiting with us, we are working our way through this often neglected part of Scripture, connecting biblical dots along the way.

As we look to the reading God’s Word, if you join me in prayer. Father Almighty, indeed, you are the God of all

We ask then that by your Spirit, you would enlighten our minds to truly understand your Word. Lord, that

Numbers 18 and 19. Together, these two chapters answer the question asked by the people in Chapter 7, how is it possible for an unholy people to come before a holy God through the provision of priest and purification?

Father God, indeed, we ask by your Holy Spirit that you would open our minds that as your scriptures are read and as your word is proclaimed,

As we prepare to hear the Word of God read, let us go to prayer. Father, Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light into our paths.

Your faithfulness endures to all the generations. You have established the earth and it stands fast. And Your Word
