Affirmation Chorus: In This Place
In this place, There’s joy that I can’t explain

I feel God’s presence, Moving in this place..

And trembles at his voice, And trembles at his voice.

How great is our God, and all will see
How great, How great is our God
Age to age He stands, And time is in His Hands

The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. PSALMS 119:105
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets EPHEISANS 3:1-5
My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. COLOSSIANS 2:2-3
