The Apostle Paul reminds us: Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

But made himself nothing, Taking the very nature of a servant, Being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself And became obedient to death-

Even death on the cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, In heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God will make a Way https://youtu.be/xQKAFbyJerY

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

He grew up before him like a tender shoot,

And like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,

Nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.

Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he took up our infirmities And carried our sorrows.

Yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;

The punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

We all. like sheep, have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way;

And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Our God https://youtu.be/O-Oy7y-MHgg

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves…

We are a chosen people.

And pray and seek my face…

We are a royal priesthood.

And turn from their wicked ways…

We are a holy nation.

Then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

We have sinned, we have done wrong.

Restore us, O God;

Make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by

whom all things were made. Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy universal and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

·Board Meeting Sept. 19.

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me;

I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the name of the Lord; “O Lord, save me!”

The Lord is gracious and righteous; Our God is full of compassion.

The Lord protects the simplehearted;

When I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.

For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death.
