Worship this week

After vacation in Florida, I am back to update things. Our worship this week will consider the final covenant of the Old Testament, the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31.31-33. Other Scripture includes John 12.20-27, where some Greek speaking people come to see Jesus and Jesus speaks of his suffering. The psalm is Psalm 51: Create in me a clean heart, O God. God's new covenant with us is a covenant of the heart, through Jesus Christ. Here is a prayer for the week:
Almighty God of mercy and grace, create in us a clean heart and prepare us for the new covenant in Jesus Christ our Lord, so that we may see his gospel and follow his ways. We give you all honor and glory, Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
