Sermon Notes

Title: Lessons from Manna

Passage: Deuteronomy 8:1-5

1 Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors.

2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.

Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Children’s Ministries. Pray for children’s baptism class and the preparation of baptism. Pray for the preparation of reopening for on-site service of the children’s congregation in August.
  • Pray for Journey to Intimacy Ministries. Our church offers four classes of Journey to Intimacy Course this season. Pray that both the leaders and the students will grow in their emotional intelligence through this course. Also, pray for those BEST among the students.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray for Sister Peggy’s surgery, and Elder Wu-Er’s recov-ery. Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.

Pray for the world

  • Pray for Mark & Ruth. Pray that the Lord would use Mark and Ruth to raise up more people and network more churches to reach out to the people living in Yun-Lin and Jia-Yi regions where idol worshiping is rampant through community services and direct gospel sharing.
  • Pray for Jamaica. Jamaica, the third largest island in the Caribbean Sea, has been struggling with rising unemployment and crime in urban areas. Of its 2.9 million people, the majority identify as Christians, among which more than half consider themselves Protestants. Pray that unemployment and crime rates go down as the churches and believers in Jamaica are renewed – reading and living out the Word so that they may be salt and light in their country.
