Can Religion Save? 

Acts 17:16-34

Father you have commanded all people everywhere to repent.
Forgive our religion.
Forgive our worship of other gods.
You have raised Jesus from the dead so that we can be certain
May we join with the saints of ages as we too believe.
Secure in the salvation that you have won for us.
And send us to speak for you the great and mighty God.
Amen

One Thing for a Successful Life
Acts 17:1-15 

Father of mission
Give us noble hearts to receive the word with eagerness.
May the Bible be open in our lives
May we daily examine the Scriptures to see if Jesus is the Christ.
May we receive him with eagerness…even as we receive what you have said to us
May we be persuaded and then believe.
Amen

I don’t need saving! Do I?
Acts 16:25-40

Our Father,

You are the God of greatness

And we are far from you.

We don’t think there is anything wrong.

Our city is facing hell.

Our loved ones are facing hell.

O help us to believe in the Lord Jesus!

May we be full on in with Christ,

Not just intellectually connected,

Nor sentimentally religious,

But full on in with Jesus our Lord and our saviour.

Thank you for doing all that was necessary to save us.

Amen
