At the beginning of a new year, we praise and bless God for all that God has done for us. God has blessed us with ALL the blessings in Christ Jesus. Let us join in Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3 that we may grasp this incredible love of Christ, and that we will be able to conform our lives to bring a smile to God's face.
Today, we joined in praising God, renewing our Covenant and feasting at His table.
The link to today's sermon is below, and the Covenant Renewal Prayer is as follows:
"Lord God, Holy Father, since You have called us through Christ to share in this gracious Covenant, we take upon ourselves with joy the yoke of obedience, and, for love of you, engage ourselves to seek and do your perfect will.
We are no longer ours, but Yours.
I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what you will, rank me with whom you will; put me to doing, put me to suffering; let me be employed for You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low for You; let me be full, let me be empty; let me have all things, let me have nothing; I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal.
And now, glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine, and I am Yours.
So be it.
And the Covenant now made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.
Amen"
Be blessed beloved of God.
