2. Before we beginSession I…Praise. Prelude. Passage. Prayer.

3. Prelude Every dimension of the supremacy of Christ, magnifies the grandeur of the love of Christ. Living under His reign, we abide inside His heart. Every facet of who He is – all we’re about to explore of who He is to us, for us, over us, before us, within us, through us and upon us – serves to enlarge our understanding of the profound truth of Scripture that says: “GOD IS LOVE!”

4. Passage Ephesians 3 – I pray that out of his glorious riches the Father may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know His love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

5. Prayer(in unison) Father– We give You these hours together. Awaken us as never before. Awaken us to the width, length, height and depth of the love of your Son. Awaken us to His love for You, and His love for us. Awaken us for Your sake. Awaken us for your praise. In this Institute, open our eyes. Let us see the wonders of the One who continues to pour out His love –to us, for us, over us, before us, within us, through us and upon us. We’re willing and ready. May the supremacy of Christ – displayed in the passion of Christ, be matched by our worship of Christ – displayed by our pursuit of Christ. Christ is all! AMEN
