In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Thank you for another life that you have given unto us, for the safe travel going to this office. And, thank you for all the blessings showered upon us. Forgive us Lord for all the sins we have committed. Lord, we are gathered here in this morning to open your Word and discover who you are. We are asking for wisdom as we read and study your Word. Help us discern the truth of the text and help us not to rely on our own understanding. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.”
