Opening Prayer
Share Screen Prayer from BSF Prayer Guide
***Adoration: Lord Jesus, You reveal God’s glory completely. You are holy, divine, and radiantly splendid. All things exist for Your glory. Your glory belongs to You alone.
***Confession: God, You want me to trust You on the mountaintop as well as in the valley. Forgive me when I don’t trust Your provision for the everyday needs of my life. Continue to awaken my dull heart to the truth of who You are!
***Thanksgiving: Hebrews 12:2 says about You, Jesus, “…For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame ….” Thank you for never wavering from the Father’s plan of redemption and enduring the cross to deliver Your people from slavery to sin into glorious freedom!
***Supplication: Father, one day “at the name of Jesus every knee will bow … and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord.” (Philippians 2:10-11) I pray You will awaken many people now to what is true – Jesus is Your Son!

Question 3a
2 Peter 1:16-19
****16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
****19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
