In the
Great Commission
at the end
of Matthews gospel
Jesus left his followers with a great vision.....
Christians are to encourage anyone
and everyone to follow Jesus, the Son of God, and
know His presence in their lives.
Jesus also gave us the
Great Commandment
to love the Lord our God with all our heart,
soul, mind and strength, and to love our neighbours as
ourselves.
It is said that a
Great Commitment to
the Great Commission
and the Great
Commandment makes for a Growing
Missionary Church.
It is this vision of Jesus Christ
that inspires all that we seek to be and do here at
St. Peter's.
Our Prayer at St. Peter’s based upon the
Great Commission (Mathew 28.16-20):
God our Father,
Every year may we see people drawn by your
spirit to faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and
Saviour.
Every month may you add
to the St. Peter's family; may we provide a
warm welcome and a spiritual home
in which to serve and be served.
Every
week may we long to know the Lord Jesus
better through the bible and through the
Holy Spirit dwelling within us. May we be
given hearts to obey and grow mature in our
faith.
Every
Sunday may your name be glorified with
heartfelt praise and in thankfulness for
prayers answered
here in Lincoln and across the world.
Every
day may we experience the presence of the
risen Christ as we serve Him in this broken
and fallen world. May we learn how to live
generously so that ministries are released
to the blessing of many,
and our building speaks of the living church
we seek to be.
Amen
