John 4:23-24
We Venerate God in Our Memorial
“Romans 6:4-5 We were buried
therefore with him by baptism into death, in
order that, just as Christ was raised from the
dead by the glory of the Father, we too might
walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been
united with him in a death like his, we shall
certainly be united with him in a resurrection
like his.
1 Cor. 11:23-25 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

We Venerate God in Our MemorialWe “Praise” God in Our Music
We “Honor” God in Corporate Prayer
Why Do So Many of Our Prayers Seem Hopeless?
We don’t believe God’s word
We don’t understand His promises
We curse our efforts with doubtsWe limit ourselves by our lives
We’re afraid of success
WITH PROPER ATTITUDE AND ACTION WE HONOR OUR GOD.
OUR FIRST STEP OF HONOR IS TO SUBMIT.
