Hymn No. 480: .................................................................tune:(congregation standing)

Invocation........................................................................................Pastor Elliot Smith

Anthem: — David & Nicole Mullen, Michael Ochs.....Krystal Morris, sopranoThere are days when I feel the best of me is ready to begin, then there're days when I feel I'm letting go andsoaring on the wind 'cause I've learned in laughter or in pain how to survive. I get on my knees, I get on myknees; there I am before the love that changes me. See I don't know how, but there's power when I'm on myknees. I can be in a crowd by myself, in almost anywhere when I feel there's a need to talk with God; He isEmmanuel. When I close my eyes no darkness there, there's only light. I get on my knees, I get on my knees;there I am before the love that changes me. See I don't know how, but there's power in the blue skies, in themidnight when I'm on my knees. I get on my knees, I get on my knees; there I am before the love that changesme. See I don't know how, but there's power when I'm on my oh, when I'm on my, when I'm on my knees.

Scripture Lesson: ..............................................................Karl KellawanAnd when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on thestreet corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray,go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what isdone in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they willbe heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before youask Him.

Prayers of the People..........................................................................Diana Kellawan

For His grace and power are such nonecan ever ask too much. While I am a pilgrim here, let thy love my spirit cheer. Be my guide, my guard, my friend.Lead me to my journey’s end.

I. Millennials: Cell phones, Tweeting & Prayer

II. Tweets from . . . A. Paul (1 Thessalonians 5:17) ( ) “Pray continually.” ( ) “Pray all the time.” ( ) “Be unceasing in prayer--praying perseveringly.” ( ) “Never stop praying.” (Holman Christian Standard Bible) “Pray constantly.” ( ) “Continually pray ye.” (Nueva Versión Internacional) “Oren sin cesar.” ( ) “Pray without ceasing.”

B. You

C. Others·   Ellen White: “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend.”·   John Guest: “When Scripture encourages us to pray without ceasing it is

literally saying redirect those restless, energetic minds into a positive streamof communication with God.”

·   Richard Foster: “Countless people … have such a ‘stained­glass’ image of prayerthat they fail to recognize what they are experiencing as prayer and so condemnthemselves for not praying.”

III. A Strategy to “Pray without ceasing.”

(Psalm 139) 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are

there.

(2 Kings 2) 23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, someyouths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, youbaldhead!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of theLORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.
