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.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on guidance and growth for the churches and leaders to lead the Korean American community in North Dallas.
 
Scripture:
 
Romans 8:28 (ESV)
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
 
2 Timothy 1:8-9 (ESV)
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.
 
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
 
 
Prayer (by Deacon Jonathan Jeng):
Heavenly Father, Today we come before You with heavy hearts as we pray for all the families, businesses, and communities affected by the recent shooting that has deeply shaken the Korean American community and so many around the area. Lord, we ask that Your loving presence surround every grieving family with comfort, strength, and hope during this painful time. Once again, we are reminded that this world is broken and filled with hurt, violence, and sorrow. Yet even in the darkness, we know that we are never abandoned because we have Your guidance, mercy, and everlasting love. Though the world is broken, our faith in You makes us whole. Father, remind us of the promise found in Romans 8:28 – that in all things You work for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Sometimes good things fall apart so that better things may come together according to Your will. Help us to trust You even when we do not understand the pain before us. Teach us not to dwell only on earthly desires or personal ambitions, but to seek Your calling above all else. Your word reminds us that You have saved us and called us to a holy life, not because of anything we have done ourselves, but because of Your grace and glory. May we walk faithfully in that calling with humility and obedience. Father, renew our hearts daily and remind us that through Christ we are made new creations. Help us let go of our old identity, fears, bitterness, and brokenness, and instead live in hope and transformation that comes through You alone. Bring healing where there is pain, unity where there is division, and light where there is darkness. May Your love continue to guide the Korean American community, businesses, and all people toward compassion, love, and faith. In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on Growing a Heart of Sharing the Gospel.
 
Scripture:
 
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, (1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4)
 
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (ROMANS 1:16)
 
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. (2 TIMOTHY 4:2)
 
Prayer (by Elder Patrick Liu):
Father God, we thank you for the beauty of your gospel truth, how you were crucified, died, and buried and then you rose again three days later according to the Scriptures, saving us from the penalty of death as a result of our sin and reconciling us with Yourself. Help grow in us a heart of boldness to share this good news and perfect gift that has been given to us freely with those around us so that your saving grace can abound across the earth more and more. Prepare us to be able to speak truth in season and out of season with patience and teaching as we carry and proclaim this good news that has been shared to us. Thank you for yesterday’s blessed James life group gathering, and I pray you continue to bless the Agape life group gathering this coming Saturday. I pray for deeper conversations over your preached Word in our discussion group ministry during lunch and thank you for the birthdays in the month of May as we celebrate in our monthly dessert and birthday celebration ministry during lunch. In Jesus’ blessed and glorious name we pray, amen.
