BIBLE SENTENCE

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Threfore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; He utters His voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah” (Psalm 46:1-7)

HYMN OF WORSHIP: “No One Understands Like Jesus”

CONFESSING OUR SIN TOGETHER:

Lord, forgive our forgetting You this past week; our ignoring that we have been redeemed at great cost by Your precious blood, and now belong to You. Please give us eyes to behold You, O Lord. Now and in the coming days, search our hearts by Your Holy Spirit. Show us our rebellion, discontent, and grumbling. Have mercy, on us, dear Lord, for Your Name’s sake.
Take a few moments to silently confess your personal sins to God that you might know His comfort in

WORDS OF COMFORT

I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Through faith and confession, we are forgiven. (Adapted from Psalm 34)

THE READING OF GOD’S WORD: Philippians 4:10-20

God’s Provision
I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Philippians 4:10-20 ESV)
