Two nights before the first session, we were blessed by IHOPE ministry through leading a prophetic and intercessory worship.
Prophetic and Intercessory worship
Wonderful worship led by Tree of Life Ministries
Then, Tree of Life Ministries blessed us with their worship at the start of our first session!
For our Second session, Lirios de los Valles (Lilies of the Valleys church) will lead the worship. Worship is a part of this class.
Psalm 22:3, “Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.”
All the class participants had the opportunity to introduce themselves and to get to know each other. The class is designed to be relational, interactive and conversational. It will also include group discussions, contemplation, assignments and practical/experiential application of the Biblical principles and values.
What would our neighborhoods look like if we could say, “The Kingdom of God is here”
“We will challenge ourselves to be in situations where our only option is to rely on God.”
Our main Scripture for Session 1 was Luke 17:20-21, “Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’because the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
