Comments from Colfax
Filed Under Commentary | Leave a Comment
I’ve been conducting a Prayer Renewal Seminar at Bethany Lutheran Brethren Church in Colfax, WI, since Sunday. I’ve been impressed with the receptivity and expectancy of this group. Last night I had them write down prayer requests for their church and their individual lives. Their responses impressed me - “That my children would acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior,” “That God will show us how we can be a part of extending His Kingdom here in this community,” “That God will give us confidence to share our faith.” God is renewing His church in Colfax! Pray for them as they continue to seek God’s leading for their future and pray for Pastor George and Jacqui Schweitzer and their family as they become established in the community and their congregation.

Our Lord’s Heart in Prayer
Filed Under Sermons | Leave a Comment
Jesus’ heart for His disciples is abundantly evident in His prayer on their behalf. His prayer was motivated by love - they were the Father’ gift to Him and He wanted nothing more than for them to experience authentic unity, to be safe in His care, and set apart for Kingdom service - the same things Jesus wants for us. Scripture from John 17:9-19.
