SCRIPTURE John 17:20-26 (NKJV)

Jesus Prays for All Believers 20

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those

who will[a] believe in Me through their word;

21

that

they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:

23

I in them, and You in

Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. 24

“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me

may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25

O righteous

Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.

26

And I have declared to them Your name, and

will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” 4

RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 63:1-8 (NKJV)

LEADER: O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land, Where there is no water. CONG:

So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.

LEADER: Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. CONG:

When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.

ALL:

Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

PASS ME NOT Pass me not, O gentle Savior, Hear my humble cry, While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by. Refrain Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by. Let me at a throne of mercy Find a sweet relief Kneeling there in deep contrition, Help my un-belief. Trusting only in Thy merit, Would I seek Thy face, Heal my wounded, broken spirit, Save me by Thy grace. Thou the Spring of all my comfort, More than life to me, Whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heav’n but Thee?

“The tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.” Leviticus 27:32 Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we, cheerfully give to God our tithes and offerings. Tithing honors God. Are you giving the Lord His tithes or your tips? The word tithe means to give back to God one tenth of your earnings for the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.
