What a wonderful God You are! That we come to meet with You in an instant, yet in a thousand years we could have barely scratched the surface of Your nature and character. How deep Your love! How wide Your arms! Matchless King of Heaven, You will keep us searching, hoping and exploring, to You be the glory, honour and praise. With our feet and our surety firmly set upon You, no thing not of You shall prevail against us, no word or deed of man cast in opposition will cause us to fall. Thank You, glorious Saviour, thank You, Father God, let Your name be praised and lifted up all the days of our lives in this world and the next, in Jesus's name we pray. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=1CBNE25rtnE ​https://youtube.com/watch?v=ctc3GqWaV3U Sunday 23rd July Theme: Names Of God Elohim -> Creator and Judge Studies here, here and here.

Distinct, holy, without compare. You created the heavens and the earth. You defeated Leviathan and Rahab. You were before the beginning and will be after the end. There is none like You. That we ask for help in our tiny lives seems inappropriate but, through Your word, we see that You have displayed a yearning for us, a love for us, a want for us beyond our ability to comprehend, deeper than we could possibly imagine or accept. Yet accept we must, for You, in Your infinite wisdom, sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die that we might live, that we might walk in obedience with You, that we might petition You for help and progression in a world set against You and us, as servants of You. Help us, Lord, heal us. Equip us, Father, lift us. You break the bonds that hold us and lift us from the miry clay. When we are free, help us to maintain a sight, knowledge and understanding of You, that we might point others towards the freedom of You. Mighty Yahweh, Elohim, Father God, we lift you in praise and worship, to the Glory of Your Coming Kingdom and the Majesty of Your Kingdom in Heaven. Amen.

You removed from Jerusalem at the time of the prophets because of the wickedness of your chosen people, You turned away from Your Son, that the veil may be torn and the way to return made for all who choose to follow. In dark days, with many paths to follow, it can be hard to make a way towards You. Holy Lord, help us hold on to the fact that You are there in the Heavenly temple, and always will be. You are truly a lamp to our feet, the guiding light that will return us home to Your presence one day. You are God Almighty. You have a plan for our salvation, we will trust in You alone. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, God of Israel, God of Noah. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Da4fnYIuV9s https://youtube.com/watch?v=mBcqria2wmg Sunday 11th June Theme: Names of God Adonai -> The Lord who is God Not an easy name to understand, some excellent texts here (http://hebrew4christians.com/Names_of_G-d/Adonai/adonai.html), here (https://hannahscupboard.com/adoni.html) and here (http://preceptaustin.org/adonai-lord-the_name_of_god).

How marvellous and how wonderful is Your love for us. Help us walk each day, Lord, in honour and reflection of You. Let us ponder on Your mysteries, as all was laid bare in the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Let us seek fellowship and right relationships, let us walk boldly into the dens of lions and thankfully into the sanctuaries and places of rest. Above all, let us trust in You, O Most High God, and Your answer to the insanity of evil presented before us each day. You will overcome, You have overcome, You continue to overcome. No god, no person, no thing can stand against You, from the rats to the kings, they will worship Your name. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wx534ML3L-Y Sunday 4th June Theme: Names Of God Immanuel -> God with us This Is My Desire I'll Sing Because You Are Good Isaiah 7 v13:25 Holy and Heavenly Father, You are with us. This is a difficult for our tiny and insubstantial minds to conceive and understand, yet if we see as through the eyes of a child, we see that your mercy, glory and blessings are new every morning. Help us to remain mindful of Your presence, Creator God, that we do not injure or grieve Your spirit and rather walk wit You as You intended. Since the death and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ and since the outpouring of Your love at Pentecost, we have had Your Spirit to gift and to guide us in this dark world.

They are not avowed to sacrifice themselves to you. Break the bonds of browbeaten servitude, the blood of Your Son has truly set them free. Jesus Christ is the author of emancipation for all women.

Thank you, heavenly Father, for such privilege and opportunity, help us walk in the way that pleases You most. Wherever there are things not of You in our lives, help us set them aside. You are glorious, Lord. As we weep tears of sacrifice and joy, we call upon your Son, Jesus Christ to intercede, to reach out, to touch, our lives, our times, our places, our things, Holy God.

You are truly amazing, God. In all this, we pray to remain mindful of our position in our relationship. Yes, You have lifted us, and will lift us again on the Day of Reckoning, but we can only do all things through Christ who strengthens us. The Rock upon which we stand is the bones of Your Son, Holy God.

At your coming, every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that You are Lord.

Help us today Lord. though we cannot fully understand it, to accept it.

As our eyes open on our journey with You, help us give full honour to Your authority, in our lives, in our interpretation. Your title and position is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting, it is an amazing honour to know you, to even walk in the same garden as you, yet such is Your precious love and humility.

King Of Kings, Lord of Lords We've Come To Bless Your Name Sunday 9th April Theme: Names of God Jehovah Jireh -> God My Provider What If I Gave Everything? All To Jesus I Surrender Genesis 22 v10:14 Heavenly Father, in truth You provide for us from life's first breath. You are from everlasting to everlasting, all creation is in your hands and at your feet. Yet Lord, as a good God, as a generous God, as a merciful God, You provide for us a portion. You give it all to us, should we choose to accept it. Not according to our standing in society or monetary wealth, but according to our faith. Abraham was prepared to travel far and offer the best of what he had, so it should be with us. In truth, you showed that You will never ask of us more than you are prepared to give, that you would, will and have paid the highest price to ransom us from death. Today, O magnificent and holy God, help us give of what we have to You. Unlike Abraham, we have already received Your precious gifts yet, as we trust in You more and give over ourselves in favour of You more, you will help us to open these gifts and to reveal Your glory through them, to become fruitful as long as we remain in Your name, Jehovah Jireh, and not our own.

That you are mindful of us, would take this personal and private role in our lives. Let us sing to you, Holy Lord, let us lift our praises, let us tell of our awestruck wonder in our lives and walk with You, Mighty God, Awesome God, let us lift you as a banner over our lives in proclamation and identity.
