Pastor's Weekly Word
This week, we are reminded that redemption is God’s work,
not ours. Through the blood of Christ, we are forgiven and brought from darkness into His kingdom. Redemption is
not a small blessing–it is the richness if God’s grace
poured out freely for us.
As we live this week, let us embrace our freedom, walk in
gratitude, and extend the same grace to those around us, reflecting the mercy we have received.
God bless, Pastor Chris
A Prayer for Our Church - Inspired by Psalm 85
Heavenly Father,
You have shown your favor to us before – You have planted
this church in Your mercy and surrounded us with grace. You
have forgiven our sins and covered our shortcomings.
You have not dealt with us as we deserve, but You have been
patient and kind. We remember and thank You for all You’ve
done in our past.
But Lord, we need You again. Revive us once more – breathe
fresh life into our hearts, so that we may rejoice in You with
passion and unity. Let our worship be filled with sincerity,
our prayers with faith, and our fellowship with love.
We ask for Your mercy and help. Lead our church into a
deeper desire for You. Heal anything that divides us, and let
Your Spirit bind us in love. Pour out Your wisdom upon our
leaders. Raise up new servants who are willing to say, “Here
am I, send me.”
Let us hear what you will say, O Lord – For You speak peace
to Your people, and we don’t want to return to our old ways or
empty routines. Help us to walk in holiness and truth, so that
Your glory may dwell among us.
Let mercy and truth meet in our church. Let righteousness
and peace fill our ministries, our worship, our homes. Go
before us, Lord, and prepare the way. Bring increase – not
only in numbers but in transformed lives. Cause our land –
our community – to respond to the gospel through us.
We welcome Your presence. We hunger for Your voice. We
surrender to Your will. Do it again, Lord. Revive us – and use
us for Your glory.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
