The benediction is a short blessing with which public worship is concluded. Deuteronomy 1:11 will be used to bless the congregation at the end of our worship service this week
Numbers 6:24–26: "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious towards you; the LORD lift up His countenance unto you and grant you peace." But there are other passages that make wonderful benedictions, like Ephesians 3:20–21: "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us..." Or Jude 24–25: "Now to Him who is able to keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless before His presence with great joy..." Or 2 Corinthians 13:14: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
