Welcome
Welcome, Deuteronomy 10:17.
“For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.”
Call to worship
Psalm 96:1-9
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

Message
Possessing a Living Faith by Pastor Denis Frediani
Scripture Passage: Revelation 3:1-6
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

In our prayers
- We are thankful Lord that You are still in control in the midst of this pandemic and that You have promised to never leave or forsake us (Heb 13:5).
- For the Covid19 Pandemic and for the recovery of those infected we pray they will cry out to the Lord and receive His help. For the scientific community in their quest to understand and fight this virus.
- For frontline workers like medical personal and first-responders, for strength, protection & health. We are so thankful for their sacrifice & we ask for their health and safety. Help them as they see patients lose the battle with Covid19.
- For national, state and local leaders that they would have wisdom to lead and be able to contain the spread of this pandemic.
- For our most vulnerable, those with health challenges we pray for protection, as well as for the poor and homeless, those in shelters and those in poor nations, for their provision and care. For those experiencing financial hardship with the closures of so many businesses.
- For single parent homes with limited income already and now confined to homes. For those who are feeling anxious, isolated, and afraid – may they find assurance and provision in You Lord.
- For Christians both here and around the world, that we may continue to serve and minister to our neighbors in the name of Jesus.
Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption and by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father’.
Psalm 27:1-3 The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
Psalm 103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
