St Marks Lutheran Church Mt Barker Sermons

Let us pray that we live for the good of others. Everliving God, all life flows from you. Fill us with your Spirit, and lead us to do good to all people, whenever we can, especially to those who belong to the family of faith. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Almighty and eternal God, you have given us faith to affirm the glory of the eternal Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and yet worship you as One. Keep us firm in this faith and safe with you forever. For you live and reign, One God, now and forever. Amen.

Let us pray for the power of the Holy Spirit. Almighty and merciful God, you sent your Holy Spirit at Pentecost, making the disciples bold to preach the good news. Send us out with the power of the same Spirit to spread the fire of your love. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Thank you to Lucas Marsh for leading us in worship this day.

Almighty and eternal God, you have brought back from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, to call use into his flock through his word. Send us your Holy Spirit so that we may hear the voice of the good Shepherd, we may faithfully follow him, and we may live in his resurrection every day. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Spirit of the risen Christ, you dwell among us as we sing, pray, and rejoice in your victory. Because you have conquered death, nothing can separate us from your presence. So, with full hearts and nourished souls, we celebrate this day of extravagant love. Let our worship be a reflection of the feast you have prepared, where no one is left hungry, and all are made whole. May our work in this world bring the table of heaven to earth. We pray this in the name of the bread of life, who was born in a town called House of Bread. Alleluia! Amen.
