A Call for Unity and Prayer 0:00 Well, amen. You glad you're in God's house today? Give God a hand. It certainly is good to be in God's house with God's people worshiping, our Lord and savior0:12 Jesus Christ. I really want to take an opportunity just at the beginning of this message, in light of yesterday's events. The attempted assassination of a former president, is a big deal, right?0:23 And we are moving into a political season that is hot and heavy and divisiveness and just lots of things going on. And I just wanted us as a congregation and those who are joining us online,0:35 just to pause and pray. Because as we think about what took place yesterday, that was close. But not just for the former president, but we also know there are other casualties, other0:47 victims. Somebody else, some other family, woke up today missing a loved 1 after losing a loved 1. So I just I just want us to0:58 pause as a as a congregation as we journey through this political season, and we still have a long way to go, and pray for wisdom, for our political leaders and those who lead us so well.1:10 Pray for unity in our nation. We are blessed, with the opportunity in a nation to disagree. How many of you know that? There are a lot of countries around the world where disagreement is not an option.1:23 Right? You're gonna vote this way, you're gonna say this, you're gonna do this. So so this is actually a blessing, but we want to pray for unity, we want to pray for peace, we also want to pray for healing. But1:34 as God's children, we also want to pray that we would have the courage to make a commitment to regardless of what it costs us, that we would hold high
1:46 God's ways and God's truth and the word of God. And we want to do that with conviction, but we also do it with compassion. That we want to love as we lead and as we point the way. And so
1:58 I just want us to pause in this moment and just as a congregation to pray. By the way, the altar is open. If somebody would like to come up, just stand here and you just pray at the altar, kneel here at the altar, you
2:09 can do that. But I just kinda wanna lead us in a prayer, as a congregation as we think back on yesterday's events. Let's bow our heads and let's pray together. God Father,Show more
