Sermon Notes

Title: Do You Know You?

Passage: 1 Corinthians 8:3,  Galatians 4:9

1 Corinthians 8:3 “But whoever loves God is known by God”.
Galatians 4:9: “But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?”

Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for New Believers. There are 17 people receive their baptism on the Sundays before and after Thanksgiving Day. Pray that the Lord would strengthen their faith, they would join small groups, grow in the knowledge of God, and prepare to do every good work to glorify God.
  • Pray for Elders and Deacons. Pray that the Lord would give our elders and deacons wisdom and strength to develop our worship, missions, equip-ping, fellowship, care, finance, operation, and media ministries to result in a healthy church to glorify God.
  • Pray for Advisers and Group Leaders. Pray that the Lord would give them love and patience in ministering to their group members, so they would love one another and grow in their spirituality. Pray that the Lord would give them wisdom to lead their groups to reach out to the communities in unity.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and re-store their heath and strength.
     

PRAY FOR THE WORLD 

  • Pray for Guinea-Bissau. Guinea-Bisau is located in West Africa.  Following independence from centuries of Portuguese rule in 1974, the country has suffered decades of severe political and military unrest, which has stunted progress and development.  This has resulted in a weak economy, high unemployment, corruption, poverty, violence, and trafficking.  Despite the dire circumstances, Guinea-Bissau allows freedom of religion, and Christians are held in high regard because of their humanitarian work.  The number of missionaries from Latin America and Asia is on the rise, and there are converts from many of the non-Muslim people groups.  Praise God for the rising number of Christian workers and for the seed of the gospel being planted among many of the people groups.  Pray that God would open the hearts of those from the dominant Muslim people groups to receive Christ as Lord and Savior.
