The Love of the Father – Luke 17:11-32

Sunday Evening Worship Service

Psalm 91 is a powerful declaration of God’s protection and care for those who trust in Him. The psalm describes the safety and refuge found in dwelling in the presence of the Almighty. It emphasizes that God shields His people from dangers, both seen and unseen, including disease, disaster, and spiritual attacks.

Ephesians 4:21-32 calls believers to live transformed lives in Christ. It urges them to put off their old, sinful nature and embrace a new life of righteousness and holiness. Key themes include speaking truthfully, controlling anger, working honestly, and using words to uplift others.

Genesis 21 reveals true worship through Abraham and Sarah’s response to God’s fulfilled promise. God gave them Isaac in their old age, and they named him “laughter,” recognizing the joy and grace God brought into their lives (Genesis 21:6, KJV). Abraham’s obedience in circumcising Isaac on the eighth day further demonstrated worship through commitment to God’s commands (Genesis 21:4).

Psalm 19 celebrates God’s revelation through both nature and His Word. The first part (verses 1-6) reflects on how the heavens declare God’s glory, showing His power and majesty in creation. The second part (verses 7-11) shifts to God’s perfect Word, which offers wisdom, guidance, and spiritual renewal. The psalm concludes with a personal plea (verses 12-14) for forgiveness and a heart aligned with God’s will. It highlights the beauty of creation and the transforming power of Scripture in leading a righteous life.
