Loving Language - Modern

October 22, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey • John 13:34–35, Zechariah 7:8–14

Lord, as it was true for Israel, so it remains true for us – we have not heeded your call to listen to you and follow your Word. In ways large and small, we have drifted off course. Yet, you are the Lord of forgiveness who offers us new life through repentance. Strengthen us to change our hearts and ways so that we may be witnesses of your power individually and as a community, for we pray in Jesus’ name. 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*
