Join us this Sunday at 4.25pm for our worship gathering as we study together 1 Peter 1:13-21. Let us prepare our hearts to hear the Word preached by meditating on and praying the Scripture passage:
Gracious Father,
We come before You as Your redeemed people, remembering that You have called us to think clearly, live soberly, and set our hope fully on the grace that will be revealed when Christ returns. Strengthen our minds, Lord, so that we are not distracted or discouraged, but ready for every opportunity You place before us.
Holy God,
You have called us to be like You in all our conduct. Shape our desires, purify our habits, and make our lives reflect Your character. Let holiness not be a burden but a joyful witness to the world around us—a living sign that we belong to You.
Righteous Judge,
Teach us to live with reverent awe, knowing that our time on earth is temporary and that You see all things with perfect fairness. Free us from the fear of people and fill us with the fear of the Lord, so that our lives carry weight and our words carry truth.
Redeeming Savior,
We remember today that we were ransomed not with silver or gold, but with Your precious blood. Let the cost of our salvation stir our hearts with gratitude and move our feet toward mission. Make us bold to proclaim Christ to neighbors, colleagues, friends, and nations—so that those still in darkness may see the light of Your grace.
Spirit of God,
Empower our church to be a community of hope, holiness, reverence, and proclamation. Send us out with courage. Open doors for the gospel. Give us words seasoned with grace. And let our lives display the beauty of the One who bought us.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our spotless Lamb and risen Lord.
Amen.
