PRAYER REQUESTS     [Howard Dounn - worship leader]     

PRAYER SONG
"In Jesus Name"
[Kim Todd-Tullos - soloist]
1. I speak the name of Jesus over you
In your hurting, in your sorrow
I will ask my God to move
I speak the name 'cause it's all that I can do
In desperation, I'll seek Heaven
And pray this for you

Refrain:
I pray for your healing
That circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name
I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name, in Jesus name

2. I speak the name of all authority
Declaring blessings, every promise
He is faithful to keep

3. I speak the name no grave could ever hold
He is greater, He is stronger
He's the God of possible
[Refrain]

Come believe it
Come receive it
Oh, the power of His Spirit is now forever yours
Come believe it
Come receive it
In the mighty name of Jesus, all things are possible

PASTORAL PRAYER     [Howard Dounn]    

ANTHEM     
"Through It All" 
[Terrell Moran & Praise Team]
1. I've had many tears and sorrows. I've had questions for tomorrow.
There've been times when I didn't know right from wrong.
But in every situation God gives my blessed consolation.
Let my trials come to only make me strong.

2. I've been a lot of places and seen millions of faces
but there are times when I feel so all alone
Oh but in those lonely hours, yes those precious lonely hours
Jesus let's me know that I am His own.

Refrain:
Through it all. [2X]
Through it all. I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God.
Through it all. [2X]
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

So I thank God for the mountains and I thank Him for the valleys
And I thank Him for the storms He's brought me through.
For if I've never had a problem I would not know that God could solve them.
I wouldn't know what faith in His Word could do.
 
SCRIPTURE
Keynote Text:  2 Cor 4: 9
"In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again."

Luke 18: 1-5   [NIV]
The Parable of the Persistent Widow

18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”

James 1: 2-4   [NIV]
"2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

Galatians 6: 9   [NIV]
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up"

Psalm 40: 1-2
40 I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.

INVITATION     [Pastor Garth]
 
INVITATIONAL SONG
"The Prayer" 
[YNa Yin - soloist]
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go,
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know.

Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way.

Lead us to a place,
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.

I pray we'll find your light 
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night,
Remind us where you are 

Let this be our prayer 
When shadows fill our day 

Lead us to a place,
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.

Someday all pain and sorrow will be ended.
And every heart that's broken will be mended.
And You'll remind us we are all God's children.
Reaching out to touch you reaching to the sky.
