One: We are the descendants of gospel trouble-makers!

Many: Holy Spirit, breathe the fire of your life into our hearts!

One: Those trouble-makers questioned those who would speak on God’s behalf to us, and on our behalf to God.

Many: O God, renew in us a commitment to be responsible for our own relationship with you!

One: Those trouble-makers renounced the use of the church for promotion of human power.

Many: Jesus Christ, forgive us when we use your name to promote ourselves and our own agendas.

One: Those trouble-makers sought to know you and to follow you with all their hearts, minds, and bodies.

Many: O God, Three-in-One, open our hearts and minds to the pouring out of your Spirit; may we embrace the dreams and visions you intend for us.

All: Continue to breathe the fire of your life into our hearts, and make us channels of that life to your church and your world!

Response: Hymn: Revive Us Again. Words: William P. Mackay

We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior,
And scattered our night.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Revive us again.

 

Reformation Sunday, Oakhurst Baptist Church, Decatur, Georgia on October 27, 2013.
