<TITLE>03. Par 11-13</TITLE>L-11 Gracious and holy Father, as we come into Thy Presence, leaving this room, by faith we come to the throne of God where that golden altar stretches from sky to sky, where every mortal, creed, race, or color has a right to come. Every creature in which Christ died and laid Himself upon that altar as our sin offering, we have a right to come boldly to the throne of grace. We thank Thee for this great privilege that we can have today, and have got. We thank Thee for every member of Thy body on earth today that has come to this great throne, and has accepted the peace offering, and the peace that passeth understanding, of the Gospel.
Now, we pray, God, for this church, this group of people that's coming to this little building this morning for a dedication of love, and tokens of their hands and heart, to fix the place where that the people can come worship. And we pray, God, that You'll bless their efforts. And we pray that You'll bless the pastor, our gracious brother, and his wife, his family, the deacons, trustees, the board, the members, and all together.

L-12 And now, as we open Thy Word today for consolation to know if these things that we do are in order with the Scripture... For it's later than we think. We feel today that's there's not too much time left. But we must be up and doing. We must be urging and compelling, that every member that's been ordained beforehand to the Body of Christ that we spread this Message, till everyone hears, till we're sure that every effort that we could've put forth has been done.
Father, bless Thy Word and speak to us now through Thy Word while we listen with attentive hearts and open ears, gladly to receive that which You would have us to know. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-13 Now, there may be many of you (which it is customary), that people sometimes mark down Scriptures, or write them out, or take notes. And I do that same thing. And if you'd like to turn with me now to the first Scripture reading, I have three places I'd like to read from this morning. And that is I Chronicles 17:1 to 2, and Acts 7:44-49, and Hebrews 10:1-5.
Now, first we'll read from Chronicles, I Chronicles 17, beginning at the 1st verse. And then secondly we'll read at the Book of the Acts of the Apostles at the--at the 7th chapter, we'd like to begin to read at the 44th verse of the 7th chapter of the Acts; all in line with the dedication of the temple. And then, Hebrews 10:5...
Now, it came to pass, as David set in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
Then said Nathan unto David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.
And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Go tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in:
For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
