Thy Kingdom Come #toJesus

In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost earlier this year believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are revisiting the 11 themes on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am.

Today we are encouraged to pray for others to come to Jesus – to meet with Him – to become His disciples, living for Him – seeking His Father’s will to be done.

Please take a few minutes to pray for others known to you.
Please pause and pray for families to come to faith at Liberton.
Please pray for prodigals to return to Jesus.

O Lord, hear our prayers and show amazing grace we ask.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen

Thy Kingdom Come

As the Poppy Remembrance Display at the Kirk comes to a close, we pause this Saturday morning and take the time with God in prayer, in silence.

We wait and listen.

We allow His Holy Spirit to speak and prompt and guide.

We set ourselves to seek His Kingdom first and foremost
in our lives
in our Church
in our community
in our city
in our land
in our world.
