Scripture

Luke 9:10–17

[10] On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. [11] When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing. [12] Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” [13] But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” [14] For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” [15] And they did so, and had them all sit down. [16] And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. [17] And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces. (ESV)

Call to Worship

Psalm 84:4, 11-12

[4] Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your praise!
[11] For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does he withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
[12] O LORD of hosts,
blessed is the one who trusts in you!

Prayer of Repentance

Merciful Father, we are before you in our guilt, and we cannot stand before you because of it. But you have not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us according to our iniquities. Instead, you have been gracious to us in Christ. Now let the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our rock and our redeemer. Amen.

Benediction

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with thankful hearts. You have been good to us. You have provided for us, You have sustained us, and You have been faithful through every season. And as we come to the end of this campaign, we want to take a moment and simply say thank You Lord.

Father, we’re reminded of that day when Jesus took five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, and gave thanks. Before the crowds were fed and before He miraculously multiplied the bread and the fish, He gave thanks to You. And Father, that's what we want to do today.

We don't yet know all that You will provide, or exactly how You will provide it. But we know You are the  God who provides. And we know that everything we have comes from Your gracious hand.

So Lord, we bring these pledges before You today. We ask You to bless them. We ask You to multiply these gifts and use them to accomplish far more than we could ever accomplish on our own.

Provide for our  every need. Give us the wisdom to steward these resources faithfully. And above all, use this church, these buildings, and everything You have given to us for the glory of Jesus Christ and His kingdom.

Father, whatever the final number may be, help us remember that our hope has never been in the amount we raise, but in the God who provides. You are our Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. 

And as we leave here today, may we do so with grateful hearts, joyful confidence, and great expectation for what You will do.

For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
