Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians
1:10-18
That
our lives will more fully express a single mind and thought
Holy One, we rejoice in You. We rejoice in your unity as Creator,
Redeemer and Counselor. We rejoice in your desire to make all things one in
Christ Jesus. We rejoice, that in the end, your desire will not be thwarted and
that Christ will be all and in all.
We thank you for calling us together as your people. We thank you for
forgiving us and instructing us in forgiveness. We thank you for creating a
firm foundation for our unity and giving us glimpses and tastes of the glorious
unity that is possible as we trust in you, set aside our selfishness, and seek
your blessing and fruitfulness for each other. We thank you that you have given
us many gifts with which to serve each other and enable our lives together to
express more fully the single mind and thought you desire for us.
We await with hope the day when we are fully one with each other and
with you through Christ Jesus, our Savior, Teacher and Friend. Amen.
