Opening Prayer (In Unison) Teach us God to love as you love, Make our love unconditional, honest and kind. Give us the power to offer our love without speaking, to demonstrate it in our actions and our lives. Show us how to forgive, Lord, as you do; not to burden others with guilt or play the role of the martyr, but to be a rock on which trust may be built. Make our love for others far greater than any love offered to us. Lead us and inspire us through your spirit that we might be a loving presence in the world. Empower us to focus on what matters most. Give us the strength to open our hearts fully that you might change us and through our witness that we might change others. In the Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Unison Scripture Reading: Luke 15:14-19 (KJV) 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

Unison Scripture Reading: Luke 15:14-19 (KJV) 

14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15And he went and joined himself to a

citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine

did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and

to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and

before thee, 19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

God, we love you and the genuine expression of love is giving. You showed your love for us first by giving us your Son. We demonstrate our love for you by giving now a portion of what you have given to us. We give freely. We give cheerfully. We will not rob you. Instead, we will worship you by giving from our heart.  You are our #1 priority. We will not treat banks or bills better than we treat you because you deserve all the glory, the honor and the praise. We refuse to live under a curse. Therefore, in obedience to your Word, we bring our tithe and our offering to you today. PUT your promise into action! Open the windows of heaven and provide what we need for our desires and our destiny! POUR into our lives the phenomenal and spectacular by releasing a blessing that is beyond our wildest dreams! PROTECT everything that we currently have and do not permit the enemy to abort anything that you are trying to give us for our future.  The tithe is what we owe, the offering is seed we sow. We sow now with the expectation of jobs and better jobs, of businesses and greater businesses, of raises and bonuses, of houses and land, of freedom from debt and supernatural increase. Bless us indeed and enlarge our territory as we live for your glory. Alleluia! In the mighty, matchless and miraculous name of Jesus, we confess. Amen!
