Sermon Text: Mark 10:35-45
Through acts of service, may we give all for God's glory
Enable us to put all of the resources we have been given into whole-hearted service for God’s reign and into compassionate service for the many neighbors with whom God has surrounded us.
Draw our thoughts away from gaining glory and honor for ourselves. Draw our focus away from competing with one another and controlling one another.
Jesus, it’s clear that most of us are not yet ready to endure the kind of suffering and death that You experienced and to which You called us as your disciples. Enable us to set aside every hope, every desire, that is not linked to the fullest expression of God’s reign and God’s glory among us. Through acts of service, may we give all for God’s glory, as You did. Amen.
