Sermon Text: Mark 1:21-28
That we may choose the abundance, wholeness and freedom You offer
Jesus, You confront us with divine authority, leaving us amazed and silent before you. You destroy every delusion that we are sufficient unto ourselves, that we can govern our own lives in ways that bring freedom, peace and joy.
When we ignore your guidance and go our own way, we diminish and enslave ourselves. Forgive us for choosing that which sickens, weakens, fragments and destroys us and enable us to choose the life of abundance, wholeness and freedom You offer in communion with You.
By your powerful and effective word you defeat every spiritual power and deliver us from every form of spiritual bondage. Enable us to live freely by the presence of your Spirit within us. Translate the awe we feel in your presence into trusting obedience and joyful fidelity. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
