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.
