Sermon Texts: Genesis 1:1-5, Mark 1:4-11, Acts 19:1-7
That we may remain attentive to your Spirit and not quench the Spirit's work
Living God, we rejoice in the wonders of creation, which your Spirit hovered over in love as the creative word was spoken. We rejoice in the wisdom of your works and in the delight that You have given us through them.
Murmuring Spirit, we rejoice that You descended upon Jesus as he emerged from the waters of baptism, and as God's voice declared his special identity. We rejoice that You led him through temptation, then through every moment of his ministry--guiding him, energizing him--enabling him to fulfill God's promises to the world God loves.
Wondrous God, we rejoice that You have fulfilled your promise to pour out your Spirit on all people. Your Spirit has refreshed, guided, comforted, and energized us in ways that we could not have imagined. Enable us to remain attentive to the movement of your Spirit among us and not quench the Spirit's work. Amen.
