Scripture:
 
Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. (HEBREWS 13:7)
 
I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service (1 TIMOTHY 1:12)
 
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (EPHESIANS 2:10)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we first take a moment again to lift-up to You the over one-hundred and thirty souls who have been taken from the Hill country flooding, as well as the over one-hundred souls still missing, the hundreds of grieving families that are mourning for their children, parents, relatives, and grandparents they now must press on without. We especially pray for the families who are grieving the passing of their children. Wipe away their tears, and help them know You are near and with them. By the power of the gospel, bring the hope of Your resurrected life, that we will all see You and one another again, and what a day of rejoicing in Your Son that will be! Continue to strengthen the first responders in the flood wreckage, and let every soul be found in You. Again, we lift-up to You this final week of nominations. We remember our ordained leaders who spoke to us the Word of God. We consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. We thank You for giving us strength in Christ, judging us faithful and appointing us to Your service in all the varied ways of Your Church. Remind us we are Your masterpiece and workmanship, created in Christ for the good works You prepared in advance for us to walk in. Choose Your choice ordained leaders for 2025-26 ministry year. We trust in Your Holy Spirit’s guidance into all truth, through the only way, truth, and life Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & amen.
