TRUTH FREEDOM TRANSFORMATION

@greenvillefmc #Believing God

Since we can't examine many psalms during these four special weeks called Psummer in the Psalms, our goal is to help you understand how to approach the Psalter properly and to help you understand how the psalms should shape your life, both in thought and behavior. Today we will discover how to handle the dynamic tension between lament and praise we find throughout the Psalms.

If you are our guest today, please stop by one of the Welcome Centers before you leave to get more information and a gift.If you have children, we provide very safe surroundings andwonderful activities. See more information inside this folder.

Please fill out a Communication Card when it is distributedand place it in the basket on your way out. Don’t hesitate tojot down a prayer request. Again, welcome, as we worshipGod for who He is and listen to what He says.

Pastor Doug has asked us to pray for revival as we approach this fall.

Responding to the call let’s:• Ask the Holy Spirit to unite us in giving us hearts that truly desire revival. • Ask the Holy Spirit to ignite passionate prayers for revival.• During Week of July 20-27, meditate and use Matthew 3:1-3 and 1 John 1:9

to guide our prayers:

Resources will be in the Prayer Room to guide you in prayers and preparation for revival. (Starting Wednesday, July 23). There will be resources from “One Cry” and others. There will be some familiar resources as well as we remember our week of consecration last summer. May we as the people of God continually seek the Lord our God and pray for His reviving presence in us personally and throughout the church.

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in thewilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: ‘A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ~Matthew 3:1-3

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. ~1John 1:9
