Sermon Notes
Title: Lost in Lust
Passage: Matthew 6:22-23
22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Prayer Requests
Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)
- Pray for Student Advisers. Pray for Student Adviser Ning and Jimmy, and helper Jed and Ashley. Pray also that the Lord would raise up more advisers to join our student ministries.
- Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.
- Pray for Happiness Group Ministries. Pray that the Lord would raise up many people in our church to spread the gospel to people near and afar through online Happiness groups.
Pray for the world
- Pray for the US. Pray that the Lord would bless President Biden and his team. Pray that the US senators and representatives would make policies and laws after the Lord’s heart.
- Pray for the Dar Hamid. The Dar Hamid of Sudan are hospitable people who live nomadic lives. Though they are traditionally Sunni Muslims, their knowledge of Islam is quite limited. There may be no Christian believers among them. Many of them are illiterate, and Christian educators could find fertile ground for the gospel to be planted among them. Pray that God would send workers to produce a good harvest among the Dar Hamid.
- Pray for Honduras. Over the past years, thousands of Hondurans have sought to escape the violence and political turmoil of their home country and look for better opportunities elsewhere. Many have tried to migrate to the US, only to be deported. These migrants claim that there are no working opportunities in Honduras, and they see migration to the US as their only chance to provide for their families. Pray that God would bring stability and peace to Honduras and that He would lead asylum seekers to safer shelter.
