Opening Prayer (In Unison)
Artist of our souls, you sculpted a people for yourself out of the rocks of wilderness and fasting. Help us as we take up your invitation to prayer and simplicity, that the discipline of these forty days may sharpen our hunger for the feast of your holy friendship, and whet our thirst for the living water you offer through Jesus Christ. Amen.Slide3
Unison Scripture Reading: 1 Chronicles 29:10-17 (NLT)
10
Then David praised the
Lord
in the presence of the whole assembly: “O
Lord
, the God of our ancestor Israel, may you be praised forever and ever!
11
Yours, O
Lord
, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O
Lord
, and this is your kingdom. Slide4
We adore you as the one who is over all things.
12
Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.
13
“O our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name!
14
But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Slide5
Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!
15
We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace.
16
“O
Lord
our God, even this material we have gathered to build a Temple to honor your holy name comes from you! It all belongs to you! Slide6
17
I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there. You know I have done all this with good motives, and I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyously.Slide7

OUR FINANCIAL CONFESSION
OF FAITH (IN UNISON)
God, we love you and the genuine expression of love is giving. You showed your love for us first by giving us your Son. We demonstrate our love for you by giving now a portion of what you have given to us. We give freely. We give cheerfully. We will not rob you. Instead, we will worship you by giving from our heart. Slide22
You are our #1 priority. We will not treat banks or bills better than we treat you because you deserve all the glory, the honor and the praise. We refuse to live under a curse. Therefore, in obedience to your Word, we bring our tithe and our offering to you today.Slide23
PUT
your promise into action! Open the windows of heaven and provide what we need for our desires and our destiny!
POUR
into our lives the phenomenal and spectacular by releasing a blessing that is beyond our wildest dreams!
PROTECT
everything that we currently have and do not permit the enemy to abort anything that you are trying to give us for our future. Slide24
The tithe is what we
owe;
the offering is seed we sow. We sow now with the expectation of jobs and better jobs, of businesses and greater businesses, of raises and bonuses, of houses and land, of freedom from debt and supernatural increase. Bless us indeed and enlarge our territory as we live for your glory. Alleluia! In the mighty, matchless and miraculous name of Jesus, we confess. Amen! Slide25

Lead A Small Group
34th Street Church mission can be summed up in this phrase:
“
E
mpower
you to grow into all God created you to be.
”
Followers of Jesus are
lifelong
learners
and the spiritual journey is not meant to be alone. At 34th Street Church, we believe that life is a team sport – best done together and as our church grows larger, we must also grow smaller. Small groups are
“
learning communities
”
that serve as a great way to grow in your relationship with God and make a difference in the community. We encourage everyone to
be
involved in group life because it
’
s there where you will meet new people while growing in your faith.
