Scriptures from Services (NKJV):
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
James 5:16
16 Confess your trespassesto one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
1 Corinthians 13:1 - 6
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
1 John 4:11 - 18
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
Seeing God Through Love
12 No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
The Consummation of Love
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.20 And he commanded certain mighty men of valor whowerein his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego,andcasttheminto the burning fiery furnace.21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and theirothergarments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.22 Therefore, because the king’s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For Heislike a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap. 3 He will
sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to theLord An offering in righteousness.

the offering of Judah and Jerusalem Will be pleasant to theLord, As in the days of old, As in former years.

Psalm 51
A Prayer of Repentance
To the Chief Musician. A
Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to
Bathsheba.
51 Have
mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me
thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
3 For
I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sinisalways before me. 4 Against
You, You only, have I sinned, And donethisevil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak,[a] Andblameless when You judge.
5 Behold,
I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold,
You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hiddenpartYou will make
me to know wisdom.
7 Purge
me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me
hear joy and gladness, Thatthe bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide
Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create
in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do
not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore
to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold meby Yourgenerous Spirit. 13 ThenI will teach
transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver
me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, Andmy tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. 15 O
Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. 16 For
You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would giveit; You do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The
sacrifices of Godarea broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.
18 Do
good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then
You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
Matthew 18:1
18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
