[2505.22 --> 2511.38] isolation but that we are part of a much larger christian community where we could feel the love
[2511.38 --> 2517.38] of each other and get support to each other too we thank you for this church congregation and the leaders

[2530.18 --> 2536.82] wisdom as in direction as they make decisions for this church community but just as important that

[2543.62 --> 2550.66] christ and the unity that we have in you father we think about all the ministries of this church and
[2550.66 --> 2555.06] we thank you for them we think about those who just left to go for children's worship time we thank
[2555.06 --> 2559.14] you for the leaders there and an opportunity to raise their children in the way that they should go
[2559.78 --> 2564.66] and when they are old they will not depart from it we thank you for all the ministries that we have
[2564.66 --> 2572.34] we think about cadets the gems our youth our care group the nursery and of course many others that all of
[2572.34 --> 2579.46] them in their different ways are providing a network for christians to uh to be with each other and to draw
[2579.46 --> 2586.82] closer to you father we think about the ongoing needs that we have in this church community in our
[2586.82 --> 2593.38] neighborhood and the world around us we pray especially for willie and joanne miles with the
[2593.38 --> 2601.22] illness that willie is facing and the news that he has moved into into in for hospice care and is facing
[2601.22 --> 2606.74] an end-of-life situation father we thank you for the love and the strength that you have shown them we
[2606.74 --> 2615.30] pray that they will continue to feel your presence and take great comfort in jesus words that he would
[2615.30 --> 2620.90] be with us always to the very end of the age we think about other members of this church who are
[2620.90 --> 2627.62] facing their own health needs we think about bob and benita and janet um we ask that you be with
[2627.62 --> 2632.74] them with the treatment that they're getting the care that they are getting uh that you will be close to
[2632.74 --> 2640.98] them and that they will feel your strength and your healing as well an ongoing prayer we we have and
[2640.98 --> 2646.34] the people around us have too as we continue to pray for a world uh that is face that is still facing
[2646.34 --> 2654.34] covet and um for many it causes great fear and great anxiety um we also notice that it's an opportunity
[2654.34 --> 2661.38] uh that we experience division too that when we disagree with each other sometimes disagree strongly
[2661.94 --> 2670.10] uh that it does bring people apart we pray that all of us when we're uh speaking our our mind that we
[2670.10 --> 2675.54] will be able to speak the truth and love and make the right decisions for the good of the people around
[2675.54 --> 2683.06] us we think about all those involved in uh in health care to deal with people who have covet and the other
[2683.06 --> 2689.62] crises that we have with those addicted to opioids sometimes we feel a certain sense of helplessness
[2690.42 --> 2697.06] we pray lord that good decisions and can be made that we'll be able to take care of them all
[2697.06 --> 2702.26] we pray for our elected leaders of all level levels of government we think of those involved in public
[2702.26 --> 2707.22] health they have an important task and it's often a very difficult task too and
[2707.22 --> 2714.42] and very often no matter what decisions they make they are going to face opposition for it regardless
[2714.42 --> 2718.98] we pray for wisdom for all that they'll make the best decisions that they can and whether they
[2718.98 --> 2726.02] acknowledge you or not that they will think about the words from micah what does the lord require of us
[2726.02 --> 2732.42] to act justly to love mercy and to walk humbly with our god and we pray for all of us and for
[2732.42 --> 2739.38] all citizens in our community that we would experience uh patience as we uh face life struggles
[2739.38 --> 2745.70] and this health crisis too father we pray for pastor chris as he leads us in the preaching from your word
[2746.26 --> 2752.74] and uh and so we can learn more about the humble community we thank you for the words from the apostle
[2752.74 --> 2759.30] peter and uh the very comforting words that we can cast our anxiety on you because you care for us
[2759.30 --> 2764.74] father we pray that you will be with this church community as we worship and celebrate your name
[2764.74 --> 2779.30] and we go our separate ways throughout this week we pray these things in jesus name amen
[2779.30 --> 2789.30] and
[2793.94 --> 2794.74] let's try again
[2798.50 --> 2799.54] and again
[2799.54 --> 2809.22] yeah there it is okay awesome thank you back of house for your problem solving skills
[2811.14 --> 2822.02] we uh as we prayed are gonna continue in our look at first peter uh this is uh the second to last
[2822.02 --> 2828.18] text and uh sermon in this series that we have been together and so encourage you to open your bible
[2828.18 --> 2834.90] turn on your bible however that works um as we're going to read from first peter 5 verse 1 through 7
[2835.78 --> 2842.34] it will be on the screen i think behind me as we go and so with god's word in front of us let's
[2843.06 --> 2844.10] hear what he has to say
[2846.74 --> 2855.62] to the elders among you i appeal as a fellow elder and witness of christ's sufferings who will also share
[2855.62 --> 2865.78] in the glory to be revealed be shepherds of the flock under your care watching over them not because
[2865.78 --> 2874.50] you must but because you are willing as god wants you to be not pursuing dishonest gain but eager to serve
[2875.06 --> 2880.34] not lording it over those entrusted to you but being examples to the flock
[2880.34 --> 2889.86] and when the chief shepherd appears you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away
[2891.62 --> 2900.50] in the same way you who are younger submit yourselves to the elders all of you clothe yourselves with
[2900.50 --> 2907.30] humility toward one another because god opposes the proud but shows favor the humble
[2907.30 --> 2917.14] humble humble humble yourselves therefore under god's mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time
[2918.26 --> 2925.70] cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you this is the word of the lord
[2925.70 --> 2935.94] so i
[2938.42 --> 2945.78] wondered about this introduction for a while and have decided i'm gonna go for it but at the risk of
[2945.78 --> 2951.62] embarrassing myself i want you to tell me what this is
[2955.70 --> 2973.54] i'm not a very good example of that my flexibility isn't what it once used to be
[2975.06 --> 2982.58] um you ever watch the olympics or sports or whatever um and synchronized diving is a good
[2982.58 --> 2990.02] example of that or diving in general or um aerial ski is another really good one where the athlete
[2990.02 --> 2996.90] stands at the starting block or even prior to that right and then just goes through the motions
[2998.02 --> 3006.58] that they're going to do when they're competing so it's a process uh called visualization
[3006.58 --> 3014.42] or guided imagery now this is according to sports psychologists so don't blame me i just read about it
[3015.78 --> 3024.74] but the idea is in order to be most effective in the task that you are about to do you have to visualize
