4. Pray that God will move on us to be more evangelistic and, through our obedience in sharing the Gospel, will save many.
5. Pray that we will become a house of prayer.
Nate sermon title this Sunday is ‘How to have Real Faith’. He will preaching from James 2:14-26
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[a] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
Prepare yourself for worship as you enter the sanctuary Sunday morning. It is very important that we take time to prepare our hearts to worship God before we set foot in the sanctuary on Sunday morning. God made this clear amid the awesome circumstances of the giving of the law in Exodus 19. God called the people to prepare to come into His presence, or near His presence, but not actually onto the mountain where He would speak to Moses. "Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people" (Exodus 19:10-11). God wanted the people of Israel, before they come near to Him, to get ready to come near to Him, to prepare themselves for an encounter with Him.

Open Up the Heavens

My Life is in You Lord
All the Way my Savior Leads Me
Be Thou My Vision
Trust and Obey
Find Us Faithful
Open Up the Heavens
We've waited for this day, we're gathered in Your name, calling out to You.
Your glory like a fire, awakening desire, will burn our hears with truth.
You're the reason we're here.
You're the reason we're singing.
Open up the heavens, we want to see You.
Open up the flood gates; a mighty river
flowing from Your heart, filling every part of our praise.
Your presence in this place, Your glory on our face, we're looking to the sky.
Descending like a cloud, You're standing with us now. Lord, unveil our eyes.
You're the reason we're here.
You're the reason we're singing.
Open up the heavens, we want to see You.
Open up the flood gates; a mighty river
flowing from Your heart, filling every part of our praise.
Open up the heavens, we want to see You.
Open up the flood gates; a mighty river
flowing from Your heart, filling every part of our praise.
Show us, show us Your glory. Show us, show us Your power. Show us, show us Your glory, Lord
Show us, show us Your glory. Show us, show us Your power. Show us, show us Your glory, Lord
Open up the heavens, we want to see You.
Open up the flood gates; a mighty river
flowing from Your heart, filling every part of our praise.
Open up the heavens, we want to see You.
Open up the flood gates; a mighty river
flowing from Your heart, filling every part of our praise.
