For the Persecuted Church Worldwide
We are praying together today for the Persecuted Church worldwide. When Christians pray together, from different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity! Come! Let us pray together!
Prayers for the Persecuted Church
Sovereign God, we worship you and acknowledge that you know all of those who suffer in your name because they follow you. We remember those who are imprisoned for their faith and ask that they would join with the Apostle Paul to see that even though they remain captive, their chains have furthered the gospel, not frustrated it. May they inspire and embolden their fellow believers to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.
Amen
God of all comfort, for those who are tortured both in body and mind, give them the grace to endure and to see their suffering as part of following in Christ’s footsteps. Merciful God, for those asked to pay the ultimate price; who are martyred because of their love for you, may they truly know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.
Amen
Father God, for those who are widowed and orphaned may they know the comfort that comes from your promised presence even when they walk through the valley. May they be strengthened by your Spirit, enabling them to rejoice with the psalmist as they proclaim that the LORD will not abandon them in death.
Amen
Heavenly Father, we ask that you would make us ever mindful of our brothers and sisters around the world who need us to stand with them as they suffer in your name. Teach us what it means to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony; we pray that we would not love our lives so much as to shrink from death.
Amen
We ask these things O Father, through the name of Your Son, Jesus
and in the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
Amen

8. My Jesus
Today we glimpse together at Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ who we I seek to obey in every facet of life. And it is this Jesus whom I depend upon and personally know to be totally reliable in every way. Is this your Jesus? Come on in to hear more about this WOW about Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? Matthew 16:24-26 New Living Translation (NLT)

Walking with Jesus
1. Introduction
We start this series, Walking With Jesus, today by looking at Jesus and asking if the Jesus of Matthew 16 is the same Jesus you are walking with. There are many pictures of Jesus, but which one are you walking through life with?
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me." (Matthew 16:24)
