God of deliverance, thank You for bringing us to this time of worship. Refresh us and heal us again. Remind us of the many ways in which You have blessed our lives with Your abundant love and Your deliverance from evil.

Doxology

We Are An Offering

*Prayer Of Dedication & For Illumination

Liturgist

*Scripture

Luke 22:31-32, 1 Peter 5:8-11 (NIV)

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.

32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
