Sermon Text: Mark 10:2-16
Sermon Text: Mark 10:2-16
That we may trust You with the simple trust of children
Jesus, we rejoice in You! We rejoice in the wisdom and skill that You showed as You encountered diverse people during your ministry. We rejoice that You were able to discern the motivations of those who wanted to shape faith and obedience in ways that were most convenient for them.
We rejoice that You do not soften your teaching for the benefit of those who have hardened their hearts against divine instruction.
You know our hearts, Jesus. You know the many ways that we resist living our faith in consistent and courageous ways. You know that we often place our own desires over the creative intention of God. Forgive us! Transform us!
Let us be led into your presence and embraced by your love in ways that energize us to respond to You with the simple trust of children. As we come to You, do not let us hinder others who seek and desire You and long for your blessing and embrace.
May others be blessed by us for God’s glory. Amen.
