Sermon Text: Acts 2:1-21, Psalm 104, Romans 8:14-17, John 14:8-27
That your Spirit may break down every barrier that separates us
God of glory, we rejoice that You have
fulfilled your promise to pour out your Spirit on all people. We rejoice that
your Spirit instructs, comforts, and energizes your people . We rejoice that
your Spirit unites your people with You and with Christ Jesus whom You sent
among us.
Fill us with your Spirit. Guide us into the
life that Jesus demonstrated among us. Energize us for service and witness.
Enable us to utilize every gift that You have given us in order to nurture each
other and exalt your name. Comfort and encourage us in times of struggle and
opposition.
Break down every barrier to communication,
both those outside of us and those we have erected in our hearts and minds.
Unite us completely with each other and with You.
We trust You to work among us in
surprising and new ways. Amen.
