Luke 6:27-49 | Built on the Solid Foundation

May the Lord our God make us into a community that is built upon love, forgiveness, and obedience.

May Christ’s love for His enemies
be a template for us as we pursue Him,
so that when the world sees us
it would be changed as a result
of having come near to the everlasting love of God.

May our freedom from condemnation
create in us an eagerness to offer forgiveness to others.
In doing this, may the world change as a result
of having encountered the life-altering mercy of God.

May our lives be built upon the solid foundation of God’s Word,
so that with our lives shaped by our obedience to Him,
the world would yearn to be shaped
in the same obedience to our perfect and holy King.

May we be the church as the church is meant to be.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace.
