Lord, Can I Come to You on the Water?

January 30, 2021 • Rev. Tommy Markham

We feel trapped behind these masks and six-foot markers. Having to maintain a close proximity to our shelter hasn’t helped one bit. Sure, this is different, and meeting the challenge has occupied us, but now something is lacking. We are dealing with that which has been put upon us. But now we are becoming aware of the need to move beyond. Sure, lifting the restrictions would help. Forgive us for becoming bored. Help us to find something extraordinary for You that would satisfy our longing.

When Words Fail

February 13, 2021 • Rev. Brian Sixbey

God of grace and glory, we confess we aren’t used to either grace or glory. Tempers flare, patience withers, and our ability to be graceful all seem to have vanished. Glimpses of your glory catch us by surprise, because we only see what our eyes are used to seeing. We have become calloused by so many complaints, disgruntled by speaking so much disgust, and infuriated by all the irritants in our lives. Today, Lord, we ask: Silence our flapping tongues. Allow us to become awestruck in your presence, our words failing because of your glory abounding. Open our hearts, minds, and spirits to worship in your love, for we beg this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Don’t Outrun Jesus! (6pm)

February 6, 2021 • Rev. Brian Sixbey

We get tired, and sometimes, we get sick and tired. When the Lord taught us how to live through Moses, the prophets, and by the example of Jesus, we were taught to take rest and rely on the Holy Spirit for strength. The human body, mind, and spirit need rest by design. Sometimes, taking a nap is spiritual. Sometimes, asking for help is spiritual. When and if we find ourselves getting tired, help us, Lord, to rely on your Spirit instead of our own stamina. May we wait on you Lord, and renew our strength, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
