Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (JOHN 11:25-26)
 
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 PETER 2:24)
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You a heart that gives thanks, for You alone are good, and Your steadfast love endures forever. With You, no circumstance can keep us from thanking You and rejoicing in You always. So we give You thanks with a grateful heart, for what You have done in completing the pastoral ordination journey of Your servant, Minister Will Zhao. Thank You for giving our Pastor an opportunity to spiritually invest and mentor his time, and finishing the journey with him. Make Minister Zhao the servant like Isaiah, who said, “Here I am, Lord, send me!” May great ministry await him and great glory be given to You through Minister Zhao’s pastoral life. Thank You for giving us the opportunity to pray for and meet him. Father God, we also thank You for giving us the honor to know and meet the late Deacon Tae-Kwon Lee. We thank You for His godly example and life as an offering to You and legacy of Christ to us. May we never forget His servant’s heart in the background washing dishes, mopping floors, cleaning tables. May we relive the servant heart of Jesus we saw through him. Receive Your servant, Deacon Tae-Kwon Lee, into Your everlasting arms, and wipe away every tear from his two children and widowed wife, that You may restore the joy of their salvation that will be joined to his with You at the last day. Though we die, we shall live, all who believe and live shall never die, as You promised. So also Your life remains for sister Jihoon. Get her up and walking in fuller strength. Put back together her ankle, joints, and foot. Bring Jihoon and Elena back to us safely., For by Your wounds, we are all healed with the body that bore our sins on that tree. In the Name of the our Lead Servant, Resurrection, and Healer, Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen & amen.

Heavenly Father, as the world prepares this week for a celebration and glorification of hallowing darkness, disguise, death, fear, gore, and trickery, we hallow Your Name that brings life, light, revelation, joy, faith, eternal life, and the greatest gifted treat of all – the sending of Your only Son so that we might not perish, but have everlasting life in His Name. At the name of Jesus, may our hearts swell with giving thanks for His grace as we approach this new Thanksgiving season of November. The leaves fall and season change to winter, but You, O God, never change, for You are always good, and Your steadfast love endures forever. So we give thanks to You, Lord, for all that You’ve done. Thank You for adding to our number through the covenant partnership of brother Timothy Sung, making your Church stronger. All thanks be to You for the Christmas shoebox project, our small part in providing for Your children around the world. All thanks be given to You for our new ordained officers, our opportunity to serve the tables/chairs setup ministry for November, the extra hour of rest in daylight savings next week, our congregational meeting next week which You’ve kept the financial health of Your Church, the desserts ministry next week, our honored staff members who have served so faithfully the past year, our life groups sharing Christ-centered community, our Thanksgiving family worship and communion we will share around Your table. All thanks be to You for all the birthdays – sister Stacy Hong today, brother Eric Sung next week, Mrs. Hanna Park samonim, Joseph Ko, Emma Jeng, and sister Winnie Kim. Thank You for the new friends we’ve seen again through Chris and through Sarah. Let us rejoice us this November, pray without ceasing, giving thanks in all circumstances, for this is Your will for us in Christ Jesus. Let us not be anxious about anything, but in everything freely bring it in prayer with a humble, earnest, desperation before You, with a thankful heart, letting every request be made known to You, through the Hearer and Answer of all of our prayers and worthy of all thanks, our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & amen.

Scripture:
 
Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. (JOHN 4:35)
 
The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. (GENESIS 13:14-15)
 
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. (PSALM 121:1-4)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we give thanks to You for granting us our very first retreat as a Hosanna Church family. Thank You for each one You have called, who made space for this sacred time, to retreat away from our daily tasks, our daily routines, to break free from our daily schedules, so that Your Spirit might make us one to be together and to seek Your face through Your Word. Lord Jesus, thank You for providing Reverend Brian Hsieh to preach to us Your message, illuminating our minds with the holy Spirit’s urging to look at You, repent before You, to exercise our servanthood with You, and to remember Your call upon our lives to follow after You. Whether we were there in body physically or in spirit prayerfully, heavenly Father, keep our eyes lifted to You and off of ourselves this third year of life as Hosanna Church under the leadership of our new ordained Elders and Deacons. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are so few. So send us all, Lord, as Hosanna, into Your harvest field. Help us see now Your fields are white for harvest. Like You promised to Abram and likewise to us, lift up our eyes to look from where we are, to look and see the Kingdom where You long to give to us now and into eternity, that Kingdom coming upon this land in Carrollton and north Dallas and out to the nations. You have given this land of Your lost souls and precious sheep to be gathered into Your Church. You have given it to us and to our offspring after us forever. We do not lift up our eyes to the hills, but to You, O LORD the Creator of every hill, our Helper and Redeemer, who made heaven and earth. You will not let our foot be moved! You who keeps us will neither slumber nor sleep. Through the Lifter-Up of our eyes and souls, our Lord Jesus Christ’s Name, in this powerful new season of harvest for Your Hosanna Church we pray, Amen & amen.

You will read verse 4-8.
We will read together verse 9-13.

1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish.

Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. (JOHN 4:35)

Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You again our very first retreat as a Hosanna Church family. Thank You for each one You have called, to make space for this sacred time, to retreat away from our daily tasks, our daily routines, to break free from our daily schedules, so that Your Spirit might make us one to be together and to seek Your face through Your Word. We pray for Your servant, Reverend Brian Hsieh from Collin County Chinese Fellowship English Ministry. Illuminate his mind with insight into Your message that You desire to speak to our congregation. Fill his heart with Your affections to love our congregation with the faithful teaching and preaching of Your Word. Flow Your power through him as he delivers Your instructions to us. Heavenly Father, lift up our eyes to You into this third year of life as Hosanna Church under the leadership of our new ordained team. Guard them with Your Spirit! Make them one in Your Son! – Elder Nara, Elder Patrick, Deacon Jonathan, Deacon Juhae, Deacon Chong, Deacon Waywah, Deacon Gloria! The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are so few. So send us all, Lord, as Hosanna, into Your harvest field. Help us see now Your fields are white for harvest. Like You promised to Abram and likewise to us, lift up our eyes to look from where we are, to look and see the Kingdom where You long to give to us now and into eternity, that Kingdom coming upon this land in Carrollton and north Dallas and out to the nations. You have given this land of Your lost souls and precious sheep to be gathered into Your Church. You have given it to us and to our offspring after us forever. We do not lift up our eyes to the hills, but to You, O LORD the Creator of every hill, our Helper and Redeemer, who made heaven and earth. You will not let our foot be moved! You who keeps us will neither slumber nor sleep. Through the Lifter-Up of our eyes and souls, our Lord Jesus Christ’s Name, in this powerful new season of harvest for Your Hosanna Church we pray, Amen & amen.
