Faithful Language - Modern

October 29, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • Malachi 2:10, Galatians 4:1–6

God of mercy, we confess that we have not loved you with all our being. We have done things which we ought not to have done, and we have left undone things which we ought to have done. We have built walls between neighbors and between countries, and we have ignored the cries of those in need. Forgive us and set us free, that we may live into the hope of your calling, that your reign may come on earth as it is in heaven. Through Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The Present of Presence - Modern

December 17, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • Isaiah 61, Luke 1:26–37

Lord, there is a gap between the way the world is and the way you want it to be. That same gap exists in me. Forgive me when I ignore or gloss over the gap within and beyond myself. Help me strive for a closer walk with you so that I can help You bring about a closer walk with others, for this I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. *I do not own rights to any music.

The Present Shepherd - Modern

December 10, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • Isaiah 40:1–11, Mark 1:1–8

O God, you provide everything that we need, and yet we lack the one thing necessary. You restore our souls, and yet we are overwhelmed by choices and exhausted by demands. You lead us in the right direction, and yet we wander after trivial pursuits. You are with us in the dark places, and yet we sense that we are alone. Speak to us, Good Shepherd. Guide us, protect us, and lead us to the sources of life and peace. Amen. *I do not own rights to any music. CCLI No. 692352, CSPL No. 114593*
