DIY Sunday Service Kit 19/11/2023 - Crossing Cultures in New Testament Mission - Athens - Acts 17:16-33



 






With WMTV funking it up a bit, here's your warm welcome to the DIY Sunday Service Kit for today, November 19th. 2023!

Our psalm for today comes to us as Sovereign Grace lead us in a reflection on Psalm 90:1-2






Focus our minds, Lord and Father we pray, on your Sovereignty and your loving care for your people.

Would you renew us in our faith and grow our trust in you, helping us to rest within the wisdom of your plan, our everlasting God.

For Jesus' sake.

Amen.


The suggested prayer points for the coming week are listed out below ...




1. We pray for the many Kingdom workers who are in the midst of conferences, or at the end of conferences, or who have just returned from conferences. October and November have been a conference season for myself and hundreds of others. Pray especially for the Spirit to guide people as they reflect on and process through the many conversations, ideas, promptings, and challenges they’ve heard in the past month or so. Pray they (we) would listen to the Spirit and truly hear his guidance on what we should be doing next. Let us also pray for the unity of believers: “I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.” (John 17:21)


2. We pray for an end to the war between Israel and Hamas and for the safe release of the remaining (~240) hostages. A recent report claims the two sides are “close to a deal” on the hostages, and that “the battle of northern Gaza is almost over.” We pray for the Spirit to comfort the families of the hostages, for the Kingdom workers who are laboring in the region, and for many to miraculously discover Jesus in the midst of or as a result of this crisis.


3. We remember and continue to pray for peace in Sudan. “The world is ignoring war, genocide and famine” there, the Economist writes. There are numerous reports of of brutality, mass murder, and horrific abuse, especially in Darfur. The RSF seems to be taking control of an enormous part of Sudan. Ministries in Sudan report significant obstacles to continuing work in the region; many have had to pull workers out and instead try to provide aid to the refugees in surrounding nations: over 10 million have been displaced from their homes. We pray for the Kingdom workers, and for the believers still in Sudan. We pray for a just end to the war and an end to the atrocities.


4. We pray for Chinese students studying in the United States. A new analysis shows very few US students (~200) are studying in China (vs. 11,000 in 2018), but “China continues to dominate the country-of-origin rankings at US colleges and universities.” In 2023, the State Department issued about 91,000 visas for Chinese students (and this number was down slightly from 2022). Pray for ministries providing a ministry of hospitality to these students. Recently, I was reminded by one such ministry that a large percentage of these students are never invited into an American home. Hospitality ministries can be a blessing to these students, and also a way to introduce American believers to the beginnings of cross-cultural work. Pray 1 Peter 4:9: “Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.”


5. On this Thanksgiving holiday (in America, at any rate), we practice the spiritual discipline of gratitude—and at the same time, we pray for the 2.2 billion people who will not hear the Gospel in their lifetime—they have no access. On this day, we thank God for the blessings he has given to us his children, and pray he will help us see how to be a blessing to others. And, in obedience to Matthew 9:38, we “beseech (deomai) the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”


6. We pray for the many Kingdom workers who are deeply grieving the terrible situations around them. Many workers have been laboring long amongst refugees from the war in Sudan, Ethiopia, the Sahel, Ukraine, and now Israel. They have lost friends and co-laborers. They have heard many stories of terrible suffering and violence. We pray for God’s mercy and compassionate care for the workers as well as for peace for these places of terrible suffering.


7. We pray for the expansion of the Kingdom in Iran. We are thankful for many new reports of growing work; for years now we have known the church in Iran, small though it is, has been rapidly expanding. We pray that the existing streams of work will send workers to the places where there is no work yet. We especially remember the Qashqa’i and Luri, nomadic groups in the south of Iran that have long been among the top 5 unevangelized mega peoples in the world. (They are not completely untouched; I remember holding back tears the first time I met a Qashqa’i believer, and heard about efforts to reach the Luri. But these two groups are, insofar as I know, largely unevangelized to this day.)




Let's read today's Bible passage here:





Our Word for the Week video this week features Andy Bannister doing for our time pretty much what Paul is doing in our passage for today ...









The audio recording of this week's sermon is on the button below, and the video of it follows below that ...











Lord we thank you that you feed us with the spiritual food of your Word as we worship you through both singing and listening.

Break the famine of hearing the Word of God in our land, we pray, as we seek you in your Word throughout the coming week.

And whatever the coming week brings to us, please take us afresh through each daily experience by your Spirit to your Word and lift us up as we walk with you, leaning on you in dependent faith.

We ask for Jesus' sake.

Amen.

DIY Sunday Service Kit for Remembrance Sunday 12/11/2023 - Crossing Cultures to Communicate as a Christian

 



Welcome to the DIY Sunday Service Kit this Remembrance Sunday, November 12th. 2023, when our mainstream news media have been supplying us with regular reminders of the value of the peace we ourselves currently enjoy.

This Sunday I hope to be able to join a short cenotaph service in Llandovery ... probably in the rain ... but however we manage to remember the Lord's favour to us in enjoying the measure of peace we do have and the sacrifice so many have made so that we can experience it, let's all take that moment to remember humbly and with gratitude.

Let's pray

Sovereign Lord, Who knows the end from the beginning and fathoms perfectly every situation of war and conflict across our whole world today, cleanse our hearts and wash that sin from us which mirrors the causing of war and conflict, strife and hatred in our world.

Inhibit, restrain and drive from us the things we see in our own society that without your kindly intervention could cause all manner of trouble to us here, and visit the suffering peoples of Ukraine, Israel/ Palestine, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Burma, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, Mali, Chad and Niger where violence and its consequences impact civilian populations at this time.

Grant peace in our time and bring to remembrance the horrors of war where passions are stirred and violence is contemplated, so that factions at loggerheads will reconsider the consequences of warlike action.

We ask for Jesus' sake.

AMEN.




Let's turn to prayer for ourselves and for our world






1. We pray for the many in Sudan—both believers and nonbelievers—enduring the horrors of war. Reports of brutality, mass murder, and horrific abuse, especially in Darfur, are emerging. We pray for God’s justice and for the rescue of the victimized and oppressed. We pray for believers to boldly provide rescue, aid, comfort, and blessing. We pray for the many thousands more who will flee Sudan, and for ministries to provide help to them, and for donors who will help with that effort. We pray that in the midst of this many would come to know the true Prince of Peace, the Gentle Shepherd and the one by whose stripes we are healed.




2. We pray for the many desperate souls trying to travel to peaceful places. This story of diasporas trying to reach Europe via Tunisia, and encountering significant violence and abuse along the way, and this story of an Eritrean trafficking kingpin who kidnapped would-be migrants for ransom, are hard to bear. Refugees are often targeted for victimization and abuse, and are used as bargaining chips to get their families to pay more to the traffickers. Lift these poor souls up before the Lord, whose heart is for justice and righteousness: “This is what the LORD says: Be fair-minded and just. Do what is right! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Quit your evil deeds! Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, and widows. Stop murdering the innocent!” (Jeremiah 22:3). Pray these will be rescued from the wicked, and will encounter believers who will bring hope and blessing to them.




3. We lift up the Israeli-Gaza war before the Lord. Many debate the ethical and moral issues around the fighting, but it is clear many innocents are wounded and dying. Pray for the war to be brought to a swift conclusion. We are thankful for the humanitarian pauses; pray for the Kingdom workers in the area who are laboring to help those caught in the middle.




4. We pray for the 270,000 men and women in Tigray province who need to be demobilized and reintegrated into civil society. Despite promises of support, many have received no help. As the process drags out, many live in abject poverty in informal camps, and are becoming disgruntled. Pray for true peace and justice to reign in this region.




5. We pray for the Meitei Christians who have been caught in the crossfire of the Manipur violence. Meitei Hindus have attacked the Christian Kuki, but less known is that the houses of Meitei Christians have also been burnt. These believers are “in a bind,” receiving no support either from fellow Meitei, or fellow believers. Pray for Christians to reach out charitably to these equally persecuted.




6. We pray for the believers in Myanmar to be a blessing to their neighbors in the midst of this trying time. The army has “suffered big losses” and the military junta claims the country is “in danger of breaking apart.”




7. We continue to lift up the Pashto, especially the 300,000 who have been left Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan. Thousands are in temporary camps near the border. The majority of those expelled from Pakistan and Iran are children. Pray for believers to find ways to help these groups. Many families are “just sitting in the dirt,” struggling to find shelter and the ability to survive.

It's time for celebrating the Lord's touch on our lives 

with a touch of the Celtic ...






Now here's a three minute introduction to a forthcoming short mini series looking at how we can communicate Christ across the cultures we encounter in the sort of world we inhabit, starting today with a sermon on - well ... click the pic.!









The video of the sermon is under this button ...




This last hymn is from William Gadsby, a rough contemporary of our own Welsh hymn writer William Williams (Pantycelyn).

But Gadsby ministered for most of his life in Manchester, and here he writes about the Lord's willingness to come down from the glories of Heaven to accommodate our lack of ability to understand things that are actually important for us ... as if bending (without demeaning or patronising them) to explain something carefully to a child.





Father we thank you that you are a God Who reaches out to us and Who reaches down to us, to touch our hearts and take hold of our lives, in the Good News of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Stir our hearts again today we pray with the priority of reaching out across human barriers to bring Good News and good hope to the people around us who are different from us, and through even the little the we can contribute to your cause, build your Church we pray from every tribe and nation and language and people ... fit and prepared by your grace to sing your praise as we stand on that day together before your Heavenly throne.

And send us out in the power of your Holy Spirit, to live and work for your praise and glory.

We ask in Jesus Name.

AMEN.

One People under God for His Glory - Malachi 1:10-14 05/11/2023

\


Welcome once more to the DIY Sunday Service Kit ... this is the kit for 05/11/2023.

With political demonstrations planned in the UK's major cities for this Guy Fawkes Day, coinciding as it does with preparations already underway for Remembrance Sunday next weekend, we begin by praying for the peace and security of our own divided land.

Let's pray

Lord and Father we come to worship you today in what by our standards are reasonably troubled times.

We ask you to accept the confession we make of our own sins.

We ask you to watch over our land to preserve its peace.

We ask you to restrain the forces that pull our citizens apart and to breathe a spirit of reconciliation and of the love of peace-making among us, that those who sow in peace might raise a harvest of righteousness in our land.

And we ask that it all be done for your Glory.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.







1. We pray for this week for the many agencies and Kingdom workers that are caught up in the various conflicts in the 10/40 Window. With the opening of the Rafah crossing, Kingdom workers there face the same questions that workers in the Sahel, Sudan, and East Africa face—at what point do they remain where they are, or “move closer” to the conflict, or “move away” with (or in order to bless) refugees? There are opportunities and risks in each of these avenues. Many are in situations where they cannot move away from danger, and need help. Others have fled to new locations like refugee camps, and need help there. Pray for the Spirit’s leading to be clear to these men and women who seek to follow.


2. We pray for the war between Israel and Hamas to be brought to a swift resolution. We pray for justice, but also for peace. We lament with and pray for the many families who are weeping from the loss of their loved ones. We pray for those who are have been traumatized—especially the young children. We pray that governments will be moved to allow aid for the hurting.


3. We pray for Kingdom work seeking to expand in the midst of the instability found in the Sahel. Many governments are withdrawing forces from the countries in West Africa, and there is a surge in violence as a result. We pray for the workers who labor to be a blessing despite the risks. We praise you for the spiritual openness amongst the peoples in the area, and pray that your Spirit would draw many to yourself. We know God promises to work in the midst of evil to bring out good; pray that his work in the midst of the “raging of the nations” will result in many drawn to him. We pray especially that many modern “Sauls” will be drawn to become “Pauls.”


4. We thank you for some increasing openness of access in Africa and the Middle East—Kenya is planning to scrap its visa requirements for African travelers, for example. We thank you for the possibilities inherent in the World Cup being held in Saudi Arabia. We pray you would enable many “hot coals”—passionate and gifted men and women seeking the spread of the Kingdom of God—to be able to use avenues like these and others to move into places where the Gospel has not yet reached.


5. We thank you for the spiritual awareness, openness, and hunger represented in the widespread comfort of death rituals in Asia (link) and the widespread use of Qi Gong in East Asia (CT). We are thankful many recognize your presence in nature, the universe, and reality around them. We pray that your Spirit would draw them to you, and that they would be led to believers who can share the truth with them. We pray that Kingdom workers would seek and find the spiritually hungry, and boldly share the truth with them.


6. We pray for agencies to have innovative strategies in East Asia. Taiwan is aging rapidly, and wants to see more migrant laborers come in, particularly to provide child and elder care. But there are a lot of issues involved in this. In the past, migrant workers have been influential in spreading the Gospel in Southeast Asia and the Gulf states. Pray for the Spirit to give wisdom about similar opportunities in Eastern Asia, where it’s harder and harder for conventional missionaries to enter.


7. We pray for the people of Afghanistan. We see that Pakistan and Iran are both pressuring millions of Afghani refugees to return to their devastated homeland. Tens of thousands have already returned (link). There, people are in such poor and desperate situations they are using opium to treat common colds (link). In regularly available reports there seems little hope for the improvement of their situation in the next months and years. We know that God loves the people of Afghanistan and pray for the Kingdom to continue its spread within these areas.

In your mercy, Lord, hear our prayers and may our pleas rise to find acceptance with our Father in the court of Heaven.
We ask for Jesus' Name and sake.
Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, as we head into another week in which we seriously wish to serve you and was with you, we pray that you will keep your grace and your Glory at the front of our minds.

Leads and guide us as we seek to walk in your ways, and keep us walking in your light until we see you face to face.

We pray for Jesus' sake.

Amen.

DIY Sunday Service Kit 29/10/2023 - Malachi 1:6-14 - Patronage, gratitude and Glory

 



Welcome to the DIY Sunday Service Kit for 27th. October 2023.

As the air and ground war intensifies in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank, and the conflict leads to further protests and clashes around the world, we pray for peace and justice to prevail. And we also prat that the sovereignty and reign of Christ the King will be recognised and will restrain the hostility of humanity, and subdue all of the work of the Enemy of Souls in the hearts of mankind.

And as we are troubled in spirit by the things we see and hear from around the world, we now find fresh assurance in these words of the song 'Day After Day, Jesus Reigns' in order to keep hold of the cosmic realities in the teeth of the terrors that prevail in so much of our fallen world.



\



It's time to pray



\


Last week we asked for prayer for Llanelli Free Evangelical Church who were working hard on a tender for new, larger church premises to accommodate the work there which has ben growing steadily for a number of years.

This week, we can give thanks to God that they have already heard that their tender has been successful.

1. We continue to pray for those caught in the conflagrations igniting throughout the 10/40 Window. Be it the Israel-Hamas war, the ongoing terrible violence in Sudan (now in its sixth month), the instability in the Sahel and the ‘coup belt’ nations of Africa, the continued civil unrest and warfare in Myanmar, or the threats of war on the horizon (Taiwan, North Korea, Ethiopia and its coastal neighbors, etc) or the impact of the war between Russia and the Ukraine—all of these are wounding and scarring, sending millions of refugees scurrying to the faintest vestiges of safety in terribly poor camps, and causing untold suffering. In their midst, believers and networks of believers are struggling to provide compassionate and charitable aid and relief to those around them. We pray for those who are trying to figure out what to do, how to do it, and how to live in the midst of very difficult and confusing times.


2. We pray for the many who are attempting to flee war, rumors of war, natural disaster and economic hardship. In an article on Tunisians trying to leave their towns to make it to Europe we read a heartwrenching lament: “I would do anything to go to Europe. Europeans are living in luxury; here, we are dying.” We the many who find themselves “stuck” in unlivable situations, bordering on death, will find rescue and redemption by the God who sees every sparrow that falls. We also pray for believers in the host European countries who will have compassion on these men and women who also are made in the image of God.


3. We pray for the Spirit to give parents the wisdom to talk with their children about the terrible events happening in the world, and help their children manage their access to social media. Let’s ask God to give us wisdom and protect us from the “brutal voyerism” with which the Internet is now awash. We want to know enough to pray for people and discern if and how we might be a blessing, while keeping ourselves and our children safe from terrible things they don’t need to see or hear.


4. We pray for the many young girls who, in the midst of the world’s current instability, wars, and economic disasters, are being married off very young. This article from Afghanistan is only one of the latest in a string of examples. See also 23 million child brides in Nigeria, and another earlier about Covid brides from Bangladesh). “Underage and forced marriages have been a serious concern in Afghanistan in recent years.” Many families feel they have few options for their children. UNICEF estimates 100 million girls are at risk of child marriage by the end of the decade.


5. As Sri Lanka opens its doors to tourists, we pray many believers will find innovative routes to serve the spread of the Gospel in that nation. The country would like to boost itself from its current 1.5m tourist arrivals to 5 million. Many of these come from India and Russia.


6. We pray for the various diaspora groups in the UK, including the Chinese church (one of the fastest growing as people from Hong Kong arrive) and Sudanese (who are worried about their future as their six-month visas are expiring). We pray for believers to have the desire to reach out to these diasporas, to build friendships, and to be a blessing to them.


7. We pray for the peoples of India, who are caught up in many forms of idolatry, and for believers who will introduce them to the saving power of Jesus. This article is a colorful introduction to the festival of Durga Purja. While it highlights a sense of modernization about the festival, at bottom it is still obviously a celebration of idols, gods, spiritism, etc. We are thankful for the many rapidly growing movements to Christ throughout the states of India, and pray that these and the tens of millions of other believers in India will be bold witnesses of the only true God.

Father we thank you for the access you have created for us into your presence, by atoning for our sin through the sacrificial death of your Son.

Hear our prayers today then, we pray, through the grace you have shown us and heal your broken world we pray in His Name.

For Jesus' sake.

AMEN.

DIY Sunday Service Kit 22/10/23 - 'Love's Memory Lost' - Malachi 1:2-5

 



Welcome to the DIY Sunday Service Kit today, 22nd. October 2023.

Take a look at the Word for the Week video here, which serves as a bit of an appetiser for where we are going with the prophecy of Malachi to carry us into the Christmas season. (Look out for the new hat!)



Let's pray.


Lord and Father, today we pray that you will bring fresh life to our souls and renewed vigour and enthusiasm in our walk with you.

Show us what it is that is taking our thoughts away from you.

Give us a fresh love for the things that make us strong in you.

Develop in our hearts a more consistent passion for the things that are dear to you ... and lead us into more useful lives of service.

We ask for Jesus sake.

AMEN.


Our friends from Llanelli Free Evangelical Church lead us in singing

Let's pray for this congregation that has outgrown its current building and is currently submitting a tender for more suitable premises.








Our seven-day prayer calendar comes once again from Justin Long

1. We pray for those caught up in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The hospital much in the news last week was operated by Christians (founded by Anglicans, run at one time by Southern Baptists, and presently under Anglicans again—additionally, the initial report of 500 casualties appears to have been inflated; it’s possibly more like 100 to 300). Additionally, someone’s strike seems to have hit a church Thursday night, killing some. This reminds us: whatever we think of the Israel-Hamas conflict, there are local believers, Kingdom workers, and spiritually hungry yet lost people in the “grass” as the “elephants tussle.” Less reported (partially due to sensitivity issues) are the many long-term Kingdom works in the area. We are thankful that at least some aid is being allowed into the area. We do pray for justice and peace; also, this week, let’s be praying for those who are trying to be a blessing, for those who need to be blessed, for those who are suffering in the midst of the conflict.




2. We pray for many to turn to Jesus because of the wars that are presently being fought. In the past, many - especially radical militants - have become disillusioned with violence, and have left their religions. Some have come to follow Jesus with great fervor, and have brought many others to do so as well. Think of Mark 12:34, when Jesus told a scribe, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” God’s heart is that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9). Let’s be praying many of these now involved in violence will soon come to follow the Prince of Peace.




3. We pray the wars will not spread. The possibility of a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in the north, widening with the potential involvement of other regional players and drawing the United States in, is, I confess, rather frightening. It is not improbable. Likewise, the war in Sudan could spill over its borders. While we pray for justice, let us also pray for peace and for the spread of fighting to be restrained.




4. We pray for the many who have been orphaned by the wars–especially, this week, for the thousands in Nigeria who have been displaced and orphaned by the conflict with Boko Haram (read their story). “They found homes under bridges and… in incomplete buildings… scavenging plastic bottles to sell for cash… many fall through the cracks.” Pray for workers who will focus on reaching these young ones.




5. We pray for the many in diaspora communities that are being affected by the conflicts in Africa and Israel. An article in Turkey Recap asks, “What comes next for Hamas members in Turkey,” and while it’s mostly about whether Turkey should harbor Hamas leaders, it also reminds us that there are people in various countries (like the western suburbs of Istanbul) who have very close ties to Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel, Sudan, and the like. They are keenly concerned with what happens to their families back home. Pray for these, and pray for believers to intersect their lives and be a blessing to them, perhaps by “weeping with those who weep.”




6. We pray again for the more than 40,000 Afghanis who have been affected by a series of earthquakes. Thousands are dead, thousands more injured, whole families have been lost, and many homes have been destroyed. We praise God that some nations are sending aid, and pray that more aid and kingdom workers will be able to be sent.




7. We pray for the Tibetans. China is moving to ban the teaching of the Tibetan language (RFA). The loss of the language could lead to the loss of Tibetan culture. As with the Uighurs last week, we pray for an end to the suppression of the Tibetan people. We also pray for a movement to Christ among the Tibetan peoples that would honor their heritage and values while calling people to earnestly follow Jesus.


Lord and loving Father we look out this week on a world that is troubled, on people who as your word says are 'hated and hating one another'.


What we see troubles us deeply and it looks very much as if our world is in deep trouble unless you graciously intervene, restrain 'the Hand of Lawlessness' and bring about your kingdom of righteousness and peace.


Visit your world we pray, bringing justice peace and light, and show us how you would have us serve you faithfully in times like these.


For Jesus' sake.


AMEN.



We can always rely on our friends at 20 Schemes Music to tell it like it is ... born of their hard experience coming to Christ from some of the hardest housing estates of inner urban Scotland.

Stick with them on this one because the real light of the Gospel shining in the deeper darkness burns all the brighter ...

And lead us in the way that leads to eternal life.

We ask for Jesus' sake.
