Sermon Text: Mark 8:27-38
That we may give all that we are to You, for your glory
God of Israel and God of Jesus Christ, we rejoice that, in Jesus, You spoke to us, showed your glory, fulfilled many of the promises for which your people trusted You, and gave new life to multitudes who had not known You.
We rejoice in You!
We rejoice in your incomparable generosity!
Enable us to recognize Jesus’ unique role in your work among your people and within your creation. Enable us to respond appropriately by following Jesus in trust and giving ourselves in courageous ways, in order to witness to and extend the mission that Jesus began when You called him and endowed him with your Spirit.
Help us not to be ashamed to be followers of Jesus. Help us to speak his name with boldness. Help us to honor You as we honor him. We give all that we are to You, that You may be glorified and your reign may be evident among us. Amen.
