Psalm 124

Sunday Sermon

The sermon on Sunday, May 11, is on John 9:1-17. To prepare your heart and mind for the worship gathering, read this passage beforehand.

PRAY

Romans 13:1

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”

Pray for our country and governing officials. Pray that they would rule justly and do what is right and good for all. Pray for the conversion of lost governing officials, that they would experience a true heart change, repent, and turn to Christ. Pray for peace in our country amid the sharp divisions. Ask God to give you peace regardless of political circumstances and to help you “be subject” to the governing authorities, always standing firm in the truth, but with Christlikeness, with all “gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15).

You can also take some time bring these things before the Lord.

• Confess your sins.
• The Lost
• The Church
• Your Needs
