Bible Verses for Today’s Message

Proverbs 17:25    A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.
Proverbs 17:21    He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no joy.
Ephesians 6:2-3    Honor your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.
Proverbs 1:8    My son, hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:
Proverbs 23:22-25    Listen to your father that begat you, and despise not your mother when she is old. Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of him. Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bore you shall rejoice.
John 8:28-29    Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Hebrews 12:9-11    Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them which are exercised thereby.


Gains From the Meeting:
Brothers and sisters, do you have any new knowledge of God through today’s preaching? How will you put the Lord’s teachings into practice in your daily life?

Brothers and sisters, please preach the gospel to your relatives and friends who haven’t believe in the Lord. Because this is the Lord’s commission and our mission.

During the preaching, please turn off your cell phone or turn it on silent. Do not loiter around or speak loudly. Or you may disturb others.

Pray:
Pray for being wise virgins and hearing the voice of God in the last days, so that we can welcome the Lord, and feast with the Lamb.
Pray for spreading the gospel of the heavenly kingdom all across the world, so that those who love truths and long for God’s manifestation will be able to return to God.
Pray that all brothers and sisters can cast off the binds of their sinful nature and live in the light of God.
Pray that God is always with us and protect us to live in God’s love.

And Jesus said to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise? Mark 10:13-16    And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them. Matthew 18:2-6    And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them, And said, Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
