Jesus knew that one of the most effective ways that power and authority can be intentionally transferred – and withheld – is by asking questions. Do we know what we are asking?

Prayers of Intercession - All will be thrown down

The Ruins of Christ Church Newgate Street, City of London - John Piper

Prayers written for the Choral Eucharist at St Stephen Walbrook on Thursday 17th November 2021 (Second before Advent) based on readings from Hebrews 10.11-14, 19-25 and Mark 13.1-8

Almighty God, we pray for the church; that it may be rooted always in the perfect truth of your enduring love for us; 
A church that challenges all earthly power, including its own, obeying only your authority.
Grant us the wisdom to care for but not idolise all that mankind has fashioned to glorify you;
Grant us the humility to throw ourselves down and your feet and build up each other as temples to our only Lord and Saviour. 

Lord in thy mercy
Hear our prayer
