*MISSED LAST SUNDAY? – We missed you and hope you had a chance to worship and rest in the Lord and His people! Our journey in “THE CHURCH IN ACTION” continued through the book of Acts with a message on – How Suffering Dishonor for Christ’s Glorious Honor is a Worthy and Joyful Cause, part 20 – Rejoice that You are Counted Worthy to Suffer Dishonor for His Name (ACTS 5:34-42). Re-watch here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzttxJ3sYpc&pp=0gcJCa0JAYcqIYzv). **You can always join us virtually livestream wherever you are in the world at our livestream webpage, every Sunday morning at 10:30am (CDT – central time): https://www.youtube.com/@HosannaPresbyterianChurch/streams *OFFICER NOMINEE INVITATION DUE THIS SUNDAY (8/10)! – If you have been informed that you are a nominee to an office and received an invitation to be placed on the electoral ballot, make sure to prayerfully give your answer in either accepting or declining the invitation by this Sunday via email ([email protected]) or directly in-person to any of the Elders.  *UPCOMING THIS SUNDAY: 8/10 (Sun) BACK-TO-SCHOOL BLESSING FOR CHILDREN & STUDENTS! There will be special gifts and a time to bless all the children, youth, and college going back to school, before dismissal time during worship. Parents, make sure to begin worship together with all your children and students this Sunday! Pray for these students as they continue to advance their educational journey with the Lord! *PRAYER FOR MINISTER SAMANTHA CHAO’S PASTORAL ORDINATION JOURNEY! – Minister Chao is currently in the phase of discerning and beginning the journey to Ordained Minister of the Word and Sacraments in our denominational family (ECO) – a Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. Pray for this important season of discernment and may the Lord add unto her all the equipment she needs to fulfill her calling for the Lord’s Church and Kingdom! Amen. *PRAYER FOR THE ILL AND SICK – “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up… Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” (JAMES 5:14-15; 3 JOHN 1:2). Scripture commands us to hold in prayer especially those who are ill and sick amongst us. *If you find yourself ill/sick or a family member or church family member, we encourage you to inform any of the Elders, Deacons, or Lay Servants so that we can lift one another up prayerfully as a healing and praying church! *From common allergies/colds to prolonged illnesses, may the healing touch of Jesus Christ reach us all so that He will receive the glory in healing us all! *Remember these precious souls and caregiving souls in our church family:
*HOSANNA INTERCESSORY PRAYER (HIP) TEAM! – Do you have a passion for prayer, collecting confidential and public prayer requests, and interceding prayerfully for one another and the mission of Hosanna Church? We are excited to create our first-ever HIP (Hosanna Intercessory Prayer) team – a group of prayer warriors who collect & organize prayer requests, are a constant stream of prayer before Father God, and meet occasionally to pray for the church. See Elder Patrick to join this vital ministry of Hosanna!  *UPCOMING THIS WEEK & WEEKEND –
*UPCOMING NEXT WEEK –
*PRAISE SONGS for this SUNDAY! – Practice them and be ready to sing them on Sunday morning. Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) Build Your Kingdom Here; (2) Consuming Fire/Fall Afresh; (3) Holy Spirit Have Your Way *THIS SUNDAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – This Sunday, spend some time in your group tables and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “Deacons: Servers of the Lord’s Table” (ACTS 6:1-7). (1.) [v.1-2] When the disciples of Christ were increasing in number in those days, what arose to become such a problem that it reached the ears of the twelve apostles and made them consider giving up preaching the word of God (v.1-2)? In what ways have I raised complaints without serving to solve them? In what ways have my complaints hindered the ministry of prayer and preaching the Word of God? How can I move to solve complaints and grumblings arising in the church, rather than become part of them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.3-6] How did the apostles go about fixing the problem of oversight in the daily distribution to the widows (v.3-4)? What were the qualities they looked for in choosing the seven table-servers (v.3-5)? How did they dedicate them to this ministry (v.6)? What defines and qualifies a true servant (deacon) of God? Is God primarily looking for ways I can serve Him with my talented services, or who I am before Him in my Christlike character? In what ways can I focus on my character more than my complaints, charisma in giftings, or what I can or cannot contribute in serving the Lord? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.7] What happened when the complaints were served and the apostles were able to fully devote themselves to the ministry of prayer and teaching the Word (v.7)? How can I help my spiritual leaders put their primary focus on the ministry of praying and teaching the Word of God to me and to others? [Korean translation] “집사: 주님의 성찬을 섬기는 자들” (사도행전 6:1-7) (1.) [1-2절] 그 당시 그리스도의 제자들이 점점 더 많아지자, 열두 사도의 귀에까지 들려 하나님의 말씀을 전하기를 포기하게 만들 정도로 심각한 문제가 무엇이었습니까(1-2절)? 나는 어떤 면에서 불평을 제기했지만, 그것을 해결하는 데 도움이 되지 않았습니까? 나의 불평이 어떤 면에서 기도와 하나님 말씀 전파 사역을 방해했습니까? 교회 안에서 일어나는 불평과 원망에 휘말리기보다는, 어떻게 그것을 해결하기 위해 움직일 수 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [3-6절] 사도들은 과부들에게 매일 나누어 주는 일에서 감독 문제를 어떻게 해결했습니까(3-4절)? 일곱 명의 시중드는 사람을 선택할 때 어떤 자질을 고려했습니까(3-5절)? 그들을 이 사역에 어떻게 헌신시켰습니까(6절)? 하나님의 참된 종(집사)을 정의하고 자격을 갖추는 것은 무엇입니까? 하나님께서는 내가 재능 있는 봉사로 그분을 섬길 수 있는 방법을 주로 찾으십니까, 아니면 그리스도와 같은 성품으로 그분 앞에서 어떤 사람인지를 주로 찾으십니까? 나는 어떻게 불평이나 은사의 카리스마, 또는 주님을 섬기는 데 기여할 수 있는 것과 할 수 없는 것보다 내 성품에 더 집중할 수 있습니까? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [7절] 사도들의 불평이 해결되고 사도들이 기도와 말씀 가르치는 사역에 온전히 헌신할 수 있게 되었을 때 어떤 일이 일어났습니까(7절)? 영적 지도자들이 나와 다른 사람들에게 기도와 말씀 가르치는 사역에 주된 초점을 맞추도록 어떻게 도울 수 있습니까? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –
