Sermon Text: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
Jesus, help us to follow your example by
loving God with our entire being. Do not let any idol of our making or
imagining disrupt or damage our relationship with God our Creator.
Let our love for God energize us for
consistent love for our neighbors. May we bring your blessing to them, and, in
solidarity with them, help structure our world for peace and justice.
Let love for our diverse neighbors enrich our love for You, so that our love for them and our love for You grow stronger and deeper as a unified expression of our commitment and trust.
Forgive us when we falter in our love for You. Forgive us when we allow other agendas to diminish our love for our neighbors. May we be wholly yours as we give ourselves in thankful love to our neighbors. Amen.
