11 November 2012: 2nd Sunday of Kingdomtide



Torah:  Deuteronomy 32:44-52
Prophet:  Joshua 4:19-5:12
Writing:  Wisdom of Sirach 3:1-4:10
Psalm:  37, part 2
Epistle:  Ephesians 4
Gospel:  John 3:16-21
Collect:  Gracious Father, Yeshua promised signs and wonders to his disciples.  Help us to so walk with our eyes upon Yeshua that we will recognise the signs of the times, and that we truly seek you kingdom.  This we ask in the name of  Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reings with you and Ruach haKodesh, on God in glory everlasting.

5 November: O God, our Father, we confess that we have depended on our own foolishness and unwise choices. We have listened to the wrong voices which tend to please our ears. Turn us back toward that which is true  and right in you so we may proclaim your power and wisdom. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.  Amen. 

6 November:   Thank you, Lord, for your living and eternal word. Help your preachers to rightly handle the word of truth and help their hearers to receive it as profitable for teaching and training in righteousness. In your name we pray. Amen.

7 November:  Let not the ways of this world distract us from you, Yeshua. Prepare in us a humble heart, to serve you and each other. We patiently await your presence with us again. In your most blessed name we pray.  Amen.

8 November: May our lives be as candles ablaze in the darkness and our witness as a light for others to find their way home to you. Lift the covering of our light so we might shine and bear witness to the one true light. You enlighten all who seek you. This we ask in the name of Him who is light to the world.  Amen.


9 November:  Lord, you know our every thought and hear every word we speak. Help us to live the truth, unlike the double minded who live one way before people and another in the shadows. We are charged to live in your light where no one can be concealed. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.  Amen. 

10 November:  Heavenly Father, as you gave your Bishop, Leo of Rome, abilities in administration, preaching and reconciliation, raise up in this and every generation ministers with talents to proclaim the Kingdom and run the church for your glory.  This we ask through Yeshuah haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.  Amen.  (white)

11 November:  Heavenly Father who raised up Martin of Tours as Bishop in your church.  Help us to follow his examples of being generous to the poor, and charitable to those who oppose you, that they may see your mercy in us.  This we ask through Yeshua who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting.  Amen.  (white)
