Heavenly Father,
Today we don't come before You because of our titles, our experience, or our accomplishments. We come as broken men who desperately need Your grace. We confess that without You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). We surrender our pride, our selfish ambition, our fear, and our desire for recognition. Strip away everything in us that does not honor Christ.
Lord, make us leaders who first kneel before we stand. Teach us that the greatest leader is the greatest servant. Let our example speak louder than our words. Let our character carry more weight than our position.
Father, search our hearts. If there is hidden sin, expose it. If there is bitterness, remove it. If there is compromise, convict us. If there is unforgiveness, help us release it. We refuse to lead others where we ourselves are unwilling to go.
Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us.
Jesus, make Brewline a ministry that is known for Your presence—not personalities. Let no man's name become greater than Yours. Let every conversation, every meal, every prayer, every testimony, and every message point men to the cross.
Raise up leaders who are faithful to their wives, intentional with their children, humble in victory, steadfast in adversity, generous with their time, courageous in truth, and uncompromising in holiness.
Holy Spirit, unite us. Remove division, jealousy, competition, gossip, and offense from among us. Teach us to honor one another, carry one another's burdens, and fight for one another instead of against one another. Make us brothers who sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron.
Father, give us the heart to pursue the one man who feels forgotten. Let us welcome the addict, the broken father, the prodigal son, the businessman carrying secret burdens, the young man searching for identity, and the older man who has lost hope. May every man who walks through these doors encounter the love, truth, and transforming power of Jesus Christ.
Lord, make us watchmen for our homes. Let us be the first to repent, the first to forgive, the first to pray, the first to serve, and the first to stand when our families need spiritual leadership. May our wives see Christ in us. May our children follow our example because we are following Christ.
Give us courage to speak truth in a world filled with compromise. Give us wisdom to lead with compassion. Give us boldness to stand when others bow. Give us endurance when ministry becomes difficult. Remind us that we are not building our own kingdom—we are building Yours.
Protect every Brewline leader. Guard our marriages. Protect our children. Strengthen our health. Provide for our families. Keep us from temptation and deliver us from evil. Cover us with the full armor of God so that we may stand firm against every attack of the enemy.
Lord, let revival begin with us. Before You transform cities, transform our hearts. Before You change families, change us. Before You use our hands, purify them. Before You fill this room, fill our lives.
We dedicate this ministry to You alone. Everything we build belongs to You. Every victory belongs to You. Every life changed belongs to You. Every testimony belongs to You. Every soul saved belongs to You.
May Brewline never become a place where men simply gather, but a place where men are broken before the cross, restored by grace, filled with the Holy Spirit, and sent into their homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and churches as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Lord, let us finish our race with integrity. May we never quit. May we never compromise. May we never forget our first love.
We declare together:
Jesus Christ is our King.
The Word of God is our authority.
The Holy Spirit is our strength.
The Cross is our victory.
The Gospel is our mission.
The Kingdom of God is our purpose.
And until You call us home, we will faithfully serve You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
In the mighty, powerful, and victorious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we pray.
Amen.
