A prayer for my country

By Peter Watts | American history, Authentic Christianity, Following Jesus, God in the face of Jesus, New humanity, Power & authority, Religious tolerance, Sacrifice, Servant project, Stories | 0 comment | 18 January, 2021 | 4

In light of the violent US Capital riot on January 6, 2021 and those who lost their lives, I offer this prayer.   Pray with me: God of creation, Our nation is in crisis.

By Peter Watts | Following Jesus, Roman crucifixion, Sacrifice, Servant project | 0 comment | 19 December, 2020 | 4
