Genesis 7 & 8: Noah's family and many animals went into the big boat, the "ark". Then for about 40 days there was heavy rain which caused a great  flood. The ark floated on the water. The people and animals inside the ark were safe but people and animals outside the ark died. When the rain and flood stopped Noah and his family and the animals went out of the ark. God made a special agreement (covenant) with Noah to bless Noah and his family. God told Noah that the rainbow would be a sign of their agreement.
Dear God, thank you for making the rainbow so beautiful

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 126: When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage, it seemed like a dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, on our lips there were songs. What marvels the Lord worked for us. Indeed we were glad. Those who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap. They go out, full of tears, carrying seed for the sowing. They come back, full of song, carrying their sheaves. 
Dear God, please bless all people who are sorrowful as they work

Listen

 

Revelation 21.5-8: Then the One sitting on the throne said "Now I am making the whole of creation new. I am the Beginning and the End. I give Eternal Life to all who die in my friendship. But for those whose evil deeds have removed themselves from my friendship, there is Eternal Death"
Jesus, have mercy on people who are rejecting your friendship

Listen

 

Matthew 18.1-10One day Jesus heard his disciples arguing about which one of them was the most important. Jesus got a little child to sit in front of them, and said "If you want to be great in God's eyes, become child-like. In fact, unless you become child-like, you won't get to heaven. And make sure you never cause harm to children like this one. Remember, the protecting angels of children
are in the presence of my Father in heaven." 

Jesus, please help me to be more child-like, and please don't let me ever cause harm to children

Genesis 5 & 6: Among Adam and Eve's descendants were Seth, Enosh, Kenan and Enoch. Enoch was a special friend of God. Enoch walked with God. Another good man who walked with God was Noah. In Noah's time, most people had forgotten God. Most people did bad things. So God decided to cleanse the earth by a great flood. To save Noah and his family from the flood, God got Noah to build a huge boat for his family and for two animals of every kind. Even though most people forgot God, Noah believed in God and trusted God
Dear God, please help me to remember you, to walk with you

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 125: Those who put their trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, that cannot be shaken. Jerusalem, the mountains surround her, so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever. 
Lord, please help us be more aware of your protecting presence

Listen

 

Revelation 21.1-4: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, as beautiful as a bride all dressed for her husband. I heard a voice call from the throne: "You see this city? Here God lives among people. He will make his home among them. They shall be his people. He will be their God. His name is God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more sadness. The world of the past has gone
Jesus, may the thought of heaven give us courage here on earth

Listen

 

Matthew 9.35-37: Jesus went to many towns and villages. In the local prayer halls he taught people the Good News of God's kingdom. He healed all sorts of diseases and sicknesses. He felt sorry for the ordinary people because they were like sheep without a shepherd - leaderless, exploited, and feeling hopeless. He said to his friends: "So many people don't have good leaders. Pray to God to send good leaders". 
Jesus, many countries have bad leaders. Please help every country to have good leaders

Genesis 4: Two of Adam and Eve's sons were Cain and Abel. Cain was a farmer. Abel was a shepherd. Cain was jealous of his brother Abel. God said to Cain: "Get control of yourself."
But Cain let his anger take over, and he killed Abel. God asked Cain, "Where is Abel?" Cain answered, "How should I know? I'm not his security guard." God replied, "I can hear your brother's blood crying out to me from the ground. That same ground will no longer give you any crops."
Dear God, please help me not to get angry with other people
My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 124: "If the Lord had not been on our side", this is Israel's song. If the Lord had not been on our side when people rose against us, then would they have swallowed us alive when they were angry with us. Blessed be the Lord who did not let us become a prey for their teeth. Our life, like a bird, has escaped from the snare of the hunter. Indeed the snare has been broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. 
Thank you, Lord, for all the times you have rescued me from trouble

Revelation 20.11-15: Then I saw God sitting on a great white throne. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of his throne, while the Book of Life was opened, in which was the record of everyone's life. Everyone was judged according to the way they had lived. Then Death and Hades were thrown into a burning lake. This burning lake is the second death. Anyone whose name could not be found in the Book of Life was thrown into the burning lake
Jesus, may all near and dear to me, be in the Book of Life

Matthew 9.27-31: As Jesus walked along, two men who had become blind followed after him calling out  "Son of David, please help us". Jesus asked them "Do you believe I can help you?" They said "Yes we do". Then Jesus touched their eyes and said "Your request made in faith is granted". Immediately they were able to see again. They told everyone they met  what Jesus had done for them. Jesus, heal my friend (..name..) who is blind

Other Prophets: Pride of heart leads us astray. See how they are listless, those whose souls are not at peace. Lord, I have heard of all your wonderful deeds in the past. Do them again in our day, Lord!

Even when everything seems hopeless, I trust in you Lord, I praise you Lord. Seek the Lord, all you humble people. Seek integrity, seek humility.

In the days to come, people will say "We want to go with you, since we have learnt that God is with you".

Rejoice heart and soul, people of Jerusalem. See, your king comes to you. He is humble and riding on a donkey. 
Dear God, thank you for all the beautiful teachings and stories in  "The Old Testament", ("The First Testament").  I now look forward to your message in "The New Testament" ("The Second Testament")

My recording of this reading


Psalm 123: To you have I lifted up my eyes, you who dwell in the heavens. My eyes, like the eyes of slaves on the hand of their lords. Like the eyes of a servant on the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the Lord our God till he show us mercy. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy. We are filled with contempt. Indeed all too full is our soul with the scorn of the rich, with the proud man's disdain. Lord, please protect poor people from being exploited by rich people
Listen


Revelation 19.1-9: After this I heard the sound of a huge crowd in heaven singing: "Alleluia! Victory and glory and power to our God!" The sound of the crowd  was like the sound of the ocean or the roar of thunder as they called out: "Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God the Almighty has begun. Let us be glad and joyful, and give praise to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb". And an angel said "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb"
Jesus, even on this earth, may I start to hear the sounds of heaven

Listen

 

Luke 8.40-56: A prayer hall official came to Jesus and urgently asked him to go to his house, where his 12 year old daughter was dying. As Jesus and his friends were following the official to his home, a woman who had a hemorrhage for 12 years came up behind Jesus and touched his clothing.  Her bleeding stopped at that moment. Jesus knew what  had happened  and said to her "My daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace". Before  Jesus arrived at the official's house, a messenger arrived and said to the official "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Master any more". Jesus heard these words and said to the official "Do not be afraid. Have faith, and she will be ok". At the house Jesus allowed only Peter, James, John and the girl's parents to go with him inside. To the mourners Jesus said "Stop crying. She is not dead, but asleep".  They laughed at him, since they knew she was dead. Jesus took the little girl by the hand and called to her "Child, get up".  Her spirit returned and she got up at once
Jesus, please increase my faith in your power to heal sick people
and raise the dead

Micah 5-7: Bethlehem, you are the least important town in Judah, but Israel's future ruler will come from you. He will shepherd our people with the power of God. He himself will be our source of peace. My people, remember what God has done for you. Remember how God wants you to live.

Lord, please help me act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with you

Even the wind and sea obey him."

Micah 1-4: In the future, the mountain of the Temple of the Lord will be the most important place  in the world. All nations will come to this place.

There will be no more training for war.
Yes please, Lord, stop nations fighting each other. Please give peace to our world

Psalms 120 & 121: I call to the Lord in the hour of my distress: "Lord save me from people who speak with lying lips". Long enough have I been dwelling with those who hate peace. I am for peace, but they are for fighting. I lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where shall come my help? My help shall come from the Lord who made heaven and earth. The Lord is our guard and our shade. Day and night we shall not be afraid. The Lord will guard our going and coming both now and forever.

Genesis 12-13: God said to a man in the land of Haran named Abraham, "Leave your own country and go to a new land I will give you. I will make you into a great nation." So Abraham and his family left the land of Haran and moved to the land of Canaan. God said to Abraham, "I will make your descendants as many as the number of dust particles on the ground ....an uncountable number." Even though Abraham and his wife Sarah were old and had no children, Abraham believed God's promise to give them many descendants.
Dear God, please help me to trust you like Abraham

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 33: Ring out your joy to the Lord, all good people, for praise is fitting for loyal hearts. For the Lord loves justice and right; he fills the earth with his love. By his word the heavens were made, he spoke and the universe came into being. They are happy, whose God is the Lord, he is the source of all true joy. May your love be upon us, O Lord, since we place all our trust in you. 
Lord, we trust in your precious love

2 Timothy 1.6-8: I remind you to fan into a flame the gift that God gave you when I prayed over you with the laying on of hands.

Like me and with me, put up with hardships for the sake of the Good News. 
Jesus, help me put up with hardships for the sake of the Good News

Matthew 17.1-8: One day Jesus took his disciples Peter, James and John up a high mountain. On the mountain Jesus' whole appearance changed. His face shone like the sun. His clothes were as white as snow. The  prophets Moses and Elijah appeared and spoke with him. Peter said to Jesus "Lord, how good it is for us to be here!" Then a bright cloud covered them with its shadow. From the cloud came a voice: "This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him." The disciples bowed to the ground. When they got up, they saw only Jesus in his normal appearance. 
Jesus, Beloved Son of God, how good it is to spend time with you in prayer.

Lyrics:

WE BEHOLD THE SPLENDOR OF GOD, SHINING ON THE FACE OF JESUS. WE BEHOLD THE SPLENDOR OF GOD SHINING ON THE FACE OF THE SON.     

AND OH HOW HIS BEAUTY TRANSFORMS US, THE WONDER OF PRESENCE ABIDING. TRANSPARENT HEARTS GIVE REFLECTION OF TABOR'S LIGHT WITHIN, OF TABOR'S LIGHT WITHIN     

WE BEHOLD THE SPLENDOR OF GOD SHINING ON THE FACE OF JESUS. WE BEHOLD THE SPLENDOR OF GOD SHINING ON THE FACE OF THE SON.     

JESUS, LORD OF GLORY, JESUS, BELOVED SON. OH HOW GOOD TO BE WITH YOU, HOW GOOD TO SHARE YOUR LIGHT, HOW GOOD TO SHARE YOUR LIGHT

WE BEHOLD THE SPLENDOR OF GOD SHINING ON THE FACE OF JESUS. WE BEHOLD THE SPLENDOR OF GOD SHINING ON THE FACE OF THE SON.
