Back to School/Study of the Word

19 And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:19-21)
 
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (2 Peter 3:18-18)
 
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. (1 John 2:27)
 
 
Prayer:
 
Heavenly father, we thank you that we can all gather in the house of the Lord, that we are here to seek You, as we are called by You to be discipled in Your word and to seek and disciple others.  We are called to gather, grow, and go together in following you God, gathering wisdom from your scripture, growing spiritual fruit from our behaviour and hearts being changed by your spirit, and going to serve others in your Holy name as you have commanded us.  As the children are being readied to go back to school, may you prepare their hearts and their minds, and guide them in your holy spirit.  May we the congregation be reminded that we too are on a lifelong spiritual learning journey, a journey that is not finished until we are by your side in heaven, that we are here to learn and grow in your scripture.  May we look to your word and your promises as a guiding light to follow, and may we constantly seek You God through supplication and prayer.  I pray for blessings on the children to grow and be strengthened by Your holy spirit. I pray for protection for those playing volleyball this Saturday, that it will be a good time of fellowship in your name with other followers of Christ.  Bless all those who have August birthdays, and all those that serve in the church.  We pray that you ready our hearts for the message today, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”” Romans 8:14-15 ESV
 
“And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.” Luke 15:21-22 ESV
 
“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4 ESV
 
*Prayer (by Deacon Juhae Park):
Dear Heavenly Father, We praise you and thank you this morning for bringing us here together as your sons and daughters. Thank you for your amazing grace that through Christ, we can come before you and call you Abba, Father. We thank you that God, you are our heavenly Father. Thank you for your love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. You have given us the best and you are a good, good father. We lift up all the fathers of Hosanna this morning as we celebrate today as the Father’s day. Thank you for calling them to fatherhood. May your Spirit strengthen them and guide them each day to reflect your image as they teach their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, and help all of us to see your glory more and more as we respect and honor our fathers. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Scripture:
 
Matthew 18:3-4 (ESV)
and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
 
Mark 10:15-16 (ESV)
Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
 
Psalm 116:5-7 (ESV)
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
    our God is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple;
    when I was brought low, he saved me.
Return, O my soul, to your rest;
    for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
 
 
Prayer (by Elder Nara Im Jeng):
Heavenly Father,
 
We come before You in humility and awe.
You are gracious and righteous, full of compassion and mercy.
We praise You, for Your heart is gentle toward Your children.
 
Lord, You are good and faithful. May we come before You with childlike hearts.
Make our hearts innocent, trusting, and humble before You.
 
Father, we confess that we often approach Your Word with pride, doubt, distraction, or hardened hearts. We rely on our own understanding instead of trusting You completely. We confess that we do not always receive Your truth with the sincerity and openness of a child.
 
Forgive us, Lord, and remove every proud and stubborn spirit within us.
Cleanse our hearts from unbelief, self-reliance, and spiritual dullness.
May we hear Your Word with tenderness and obedience.
Create in us pure hearts that gladly receive Your Word.
 
Merciful Father, we thank You for Your patience, love, and kindness toward us. Thank You for speaking to us through Scripture, guiding us in truth, and calling us Your children. Thank You for Your unfailing love and gentle care that bring rest and peace when our souls are weary and troubled.
 
Thank You for the gift of salvation through Christ and for the privilege of drawing near to You without fear, for Your kingdom is open to the humble and lowly.
 
Lord, we ask You to shape our hearts to be like children before You—full of faith, eager to listen, quick to obey, and wholehearted in love. Let us receive Your Word with sincerity, humility, and joy.
As you call us to be your children, would you give us a growing heart for children and for the ministry that nurtures them in Your truth. Teach us to love, serve, and guide them with patience, wisdom, and compassion, so that the next generation may come to know You deeply and walk faithfully in Your ways.
May our church be a place where children are welcomed, cherished, and led closer to Christ.
 
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
