Sermon Test: John 14:15-21
That we will practice faith that is robust and creative
You who call and command us, we rejoice in the promise of your Spirit who instructs and guides us as we face daily challenges in faith. We rejoice that You have promised that the Spirit will be with us forever and that your Spirit dwells in us, clarifies your relationship to God the Father, and reveals and sustains the unity that we have with You and in You.
We thank You that your Spirit enables us to obey You in love and reveals your ongoing presence to us.
Forgive us when we are slow to receive the guidance of your Spirit. Forgive us when we will not acknowledge your nearness and when we hesitate to obey You because our love for You has wavered.
May your Spirit rouse us to faith that is robust and creative, and to obedience that is energized by deep love. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
