*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on 2026 January Ministry

Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (JOHN 3:3)
 
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. (ROMANS 12:4-5)
 
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (GALATIANS 3:28)
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You the month of January 2026. Thank You for the blessed celebrations of birthdays today for our brother Justin Chao, sister Ashley Chung, and Director Trey Reynolds. We celebrate their birth, but so much more the new birth You have generated in them from the womb of the Kingdom of heaven. Truly, unless on is born again, we cannot see the kingdom of God. So we pray today our three souls will see more and more Your Kingdom come, Your will be done in their lives as they live out their new birth from above. Bless their families today with joy in Your presence. Bless our Elder Heather's birthday this Thursday as well. We praise You for the new life to come, the nourishing growth and healthy delivery of our new sister Gee. May Your hand rest upon the Gee’s and Deacon Gloria as they prepare for Your joy to come. We praise You for Your healing touch on our sister Aria’s fever this week. Bless our breakout discussion groups and lunch fellowship today with deep conversations around Christ, His mind, and His Word. This Friday, bless and be with our AGAPE young adults & families life group gathering. Tomorrow, we thank You for the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who left us an imprint of what it means to be part of the one body in Christ, the endowment of Your image on all Your children, and the gospel that transcends racial and cultural barriers. May we never give in to discriminating one another for any reason or prejudice, but live into being the one body of Christ with many members. We may not all have the same function, but we still makeup Your Son’s one body, individually members of one another. Now in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male role and female role that separate and distinguish one more dominant than the other in both the home and church, but we are all one in Christ Jesus clothed with the character of Christ Jesus. Help us to submit to one another and love each other, as Christ has loved us, and as Christ has used Reverend King’s short life to show us, through our risen King and Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & Amen.

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (MATTHEW 18:20)

Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You the month of January 2026. Thank You for giving us new time, new blessings awaiting Your beloved Church. Thank you for bringing Reserve Elder Andrew Lee to Hosanna, his faithful example of Christ’s servanthood throughout all these years.

Bless all the new year gatherings and informal fellowship times with our Pastor, for members to share their hearts, lives, and tears, advancing their walk with Christ. Bless our breakout discussion groups with Christ-exalting expositions and thoughts on Your living Word, edifying one another. Bless the dishwashing servants today with their selfless Christlike servanthood. Bless the staff today as they gather to dream more of Your Kingdom on earth through Hosanna. Be with the JAMES life group families as they regather this Saturday for a time of teaching, sharing their lives, and prayer. Give us joy in Your presence as we celebrate the birthdays of Ashley, Justin, and Director Trey. In all this, may we walk in the light, as Christ is our light, to have true fellowship with one another with the blood of Jesus cleansing us from all sin. For we know where two or more are gathered in the name of Jesus, You are here among us. So let us consider how we can stir up one another to love and good works. Let us not neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another all the more as we see the Day of Christ’s return drawing nearer and nearer. In the risen name of Jesus Christ who is coming again while we draw nearer to one another again in His fellowship, Amen & amen.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on thanksgiving for Mya Krief’s baptism & 2026 Ministry Year
 
Scripture:
 
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17)
 
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” (REVELATION 21:5)
 
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (ISAIAH 40:31)
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You this very first Sunday of 2026 and all the rest of the 51 Lord’s Day’s remaining. You are so faithful to give us another year, more time, to be wholly transformed as a new creation in Your only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. The old has passed away. Let us behold the new that is coming for us in 2026. Already, You have shown us the new life you are birthed in Your daughter Mya with the washing of the Holy Spirit in baptism. We are truly witnesses of Your hand and deep love resting upon her life. Through the waters of her baptism, as Mya has joined into the covenant family of the Lord’s Church, help us be faithful to our new sister in guiding her, staying spiritually accountable to her, and ensuring that she continues to grow in loving Jesus with all her heart, mind, soul, and strength. May her baptism reminds us of our washing in Your Spirit, and weigh it heavy in our hearts to know this new sister is now grafted into Christ’s body. Behold, You who are seated on the throne are making all things new for Mya and for all of us who are in Christ Jesus, because Your words are trustworthy and true. Whatever awaits us in 2026, keep us waiting for You, renewing our strength in You, and mounting up with wings like eagles to soar and run to You without growing wearing or faint. Today, bless our dessert ministry with sister Joy’s birthday and all the January birthdays. Bless Johann’s birthday this Thursday. Bless our kitchen ministry this Saturday morning and Sunday’s dishwash ministry. Bless our 1st AGAPE gathering for 2026 this Saturday. May all these be to the praise of Your glorious grace into 2026 and beyond, in the risen Lord and King Jesus Christ’s name we pray, Amen & amen.
