For Worship to Be About Jesus
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. As believers gather in Christian churches all over the world on this day for worship, edify them through the preaching of your Word. Remind both preachers and those listening that we are called the Christian Church because Christ is central to all that we are and do. Let that be clearly reflected and understood in preaching and worship. While we enjoy freedom and flexibility in so many ways because of the gospel, guard all believers at all times against being willing to compromise anything that may call Christ into question. On Jesus and his saving work, your Church is a tower of strength. Without him, it crumbles to pieces. Let it stand forever, as you have promised, and keep us faithful to our promise to remain true to you.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
