PRESENTATION OF HOMES
Today, we are gathered to celebrate the hard work and gifts of love and sacrifice for
the construction and placement of these homes. The very land that we stand upon
has been ordained by God for the purpose which we are here to celebrate today.
The hands, sweat and financial funding of many gathered here have been used to
bless each one of us. We are truly standing on Holy Ground.
That in mind, I must present you with this word from the Holy Bible. God’s Word to
us.
SCRIPTURE READING
The Word of God tells us in Psalms 127 that
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain
Therefore it is my duty to inform you what the word of God speaks in
Deuteronomy 6:1-9 as
The Greatest Commandment
"Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the rules that the LORD your God
commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are
going over, to possess it,
that you may fear the LORD your God, you and your son and your son’s son, by
keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days
of your life, and that your days may be long.

Presentation And Dedication Of New Home
Psalms 127:1
Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you,
and that you may multiply greatly, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has
promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
“Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with
all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit
in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when
you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on
your gates.
Psalms 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless
the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands
forever."
