Kid’s Prayers:
- A pastor asked a little boy if he said his prayers every night. “Yes, sir,” the boy replied. “And, do you always say them in the morning, too?” the pastor asked. “No sir,” the boy replied. “I ain't scared in the daytime.”
- A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, “So your mother says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?” The little boy replied, “Thank God he's in bed!”
- The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why. “Well, Honey,” he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages; “I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon.” “How come He doesn't answer it?” she asked.
- A Sunday school teacher asked, “Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?” “No,” replied Johnny. “How could he, with just two worms?”
The Book of Jude: Contending Earnestly for the Faith
“The faith” (used also in Gal. 1:23 and I Tim. 4:1; reference also Heb. 4:14) is the body of truth contained in the Scripture that was delivered “once for all.” This means that there will be no new truth added. All we need to hear from God we have heard in the Scripture.
Today’s Sermon
Obadiah – The Kingdom will be the Lord’s
This is the shortest book in the Old Testament. Today’s tormentors will not always plague us, for God’s wrath is inevitable against His enemies. Those who oppress may feel superior in taking advantage of us today, but their judgment is coming, for “pride goes before the fall.” God’s wrath against His enemies is an expression of grace to His people. “And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.” (verse 21)

Morning Has Broken p. 60Scripture Reading
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:1-3
