Sermon Text: Jeremiah 31:31-34
That we may walk with You in joy each day
Covenant making God, we rejoice in You. We rejoice that when your people failed to keep covenant, when we failed in all our own attempts to be your people by our own effort and ingenuity, You acted in mercy.
You made a new covenant with us in Christ Jesus.
You inscribed your law on our hearts and minds by your Holy Spirit.
You identified yourself with us, and named us as your own.
You revealed yourself to us, that we might know You and worship You in your sovereignty and glory.
You forgave our sins, forgetting them and freeing us from the power they held over our lives.
Glorious One, You took all of the initiative to deliver us from the chaos of our lives and discipline and shape us for covenant fidelity and fruitfulness.
Enable us to walk with you in joy each day. May your generous blessing spread to others through our lives. Amen.
Thoughts, and prayers from Pastor David Antieau at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ
