pray 1 - strengthened in power - ptr. alvin gutierrez - 4pm service

3:14-21

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,15 from whom every family in heaven and on

earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his

glorious riches he may strengthen you with

power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established

in love, 18 may have power, together with all the

Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long

3:14-21

and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to

know this love that surpasses knowledge—that

you may be filled to the measure of all the

fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do

immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,

according to his power that is at work within us,21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ

Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and

ever! Amen.

4:50

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud

voice, he gave up his spirit.

4:51-52

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn

in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the

rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies

of many holy people who had died were raised to

life.

4:15-16

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to

empathize with our weaknesses, but we have

one who has been tempted in every way, just as

we are--yet he did not sin. Let us then approach

God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we

may receive mercy and find grace to help us in

our time of need.

3:20-21

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably

more than all we ask or imagine, according to his

power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory

in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all

generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

3:20-21

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably

more than all we ask or imagine, according to his

power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory

in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all

generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

“I command you in the

name of God to live

because I still have need

of you in the work of

reforming the church. The

Lord will never let me

hear that you are dead,

but will permit you to

survive me. For this I am

praying, because I seek

only to glorify the name of

God.”

and long and high and deep is the love of

Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses

knowledge—that you may be filled to the

it to you—you ain’t
