Sermon Text: 2 Samuel 6:1-19, Ephesians 1:3-14
That we may give ourselves to You through wise disciplines and spontaneous outbursts of joy
God of grace and peace, we rejoice in the life that You have given us in Christ Jesus. We rejoice that You have sealed your promise to us by giving us your Holy Spirit as Comforter and Counselor and Source of energy for neighbor love, truthful witness, and radical justice.
Help us not to be too self-conscious as we give You praise for all that You have done for us. Enable us to throw off some of our inhibitions and let our bodies and voices declare your praise in extravagant ways. Let us abandon ourselves to You in both wise disciplines and spontaneous outbursts of joy.
We are yours. You have created and redeemed us. You have blessed us in many ways. You have provided us with many resources to carry on the ministry of Jesus in the world You love. May we do so with gratitude, generosity, and glad worship. Amen.
