Sermon Point: When we see Jesus for who He truly is we will catch a vision for overflow.

Prayer for Overflow
(Based on Colossians 1:3-14)

All Mighty God,
We believe the Good News of the Gospel and place all our faith in Jesus Christ, our Messiah.
We live on Earth as Heaven’s overflowing spring of faith, hope and love.
By Your grace we will share the Good News of hope in Christ to the world around us.
We pray continually that You will fill us with the knowledge of Your will through all wisdom and understanding so we can live a life worthy of Your calling and please You in every way.

We pray that You will fill us with strength, power, endurance, patience and joy so we can bear fruit in every good work.
Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to You Father, because You have rescued us from darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of light where our King Jesus forgives our sins and gives us life.
All praise, power and glory be Yours forever, in Jesus name,

Amen
