PSALM 122

      1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,   “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” 

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.       3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. 

4 That is where the tribes go up—    the tribes of the LORD—    to praise the name of the LORD    according to the statute given to Israel. 5 There stand the thrones for judgment,    the thrones of the house of David. 

Psalm Reading

DawnaWatkins

   6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:    “May those who love you be secure.

 

7 May there be peace within your walls    and security within your citadels.” 

8 For the sake of my family and friends,    I will say, “Peace be within you.” 

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, 

   I will seek your prosperity. 

Psalm ReadingDawna Watkins

1 CORINTHIANS 1: 3-9    3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

    4 I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 

5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 

Scripture

6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 

7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 

Scripture

• 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
