The Promise: Lasting Presence
Opening Hymn: To God Be the Glory
1. To God be the glory, great
things he hath done!
So loved he the world that he
gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an
atonement for sin,
and opened the lifegate that
all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he
hath done!
2. O perfect redemption, the
purchase of blood,
to every believer the promise
of God;
the vilest offender who truly
believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon
receives.
(Refrain)
3. Great things he hath taught us,
great things he hath done,
and great our rejoicing thru
Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and
greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when
Jesus we see.
(Refrain)
Invocation
P In
the name of the Father and of the T Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.
Opening Sentences Psalm 111:10; Psalm 34:9; Psalm 128:1
P The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom;
C all
those who practice it have a good understanding.
P Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints,
C for
those who fear Him have no lack!
P Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
C who
walks in His ways!
Confession and Absolution
P Let us now make confession of our sins
to God, our heavenly Father.
C Merciful
Father, we have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Our actions have
brought injury to others. We have left undone those things which we ought to
have done; we have done those things which we ought not to have done. We
sincerely repent of our sins. Graciously hear this, our confession, O Lord, and
grant us Your grace and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. By the renewing work of
the Holy Spirit within us, lead us to amend our sinful lives, that each day we
may grow in righteousness and godly living to the glory of Your holy name.
P To each of us, our Lord says “Fear
not!” and promises forgiveness, life, and salvation. I, by virtue of my office,
as a called and ordained servant of the Word, announce the grace of God unto
all of you, and in the stead and by the command of my Lord Jesus Christ I
forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. As you
believe, so may it be.
Introit Ps. 56:3–4, 10–11; antiphon: Ps. 56:13
For you have delivered my soul from
death, yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life.
When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise, in God I
trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I
praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
For you have delivered my soul from
death, yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Hymn of Praise: Joyful, Joyful, We
Adore Thee
1. Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
2. All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
call us to rejoice in thee.
3. Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
well-spring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our brother,
all who live in love are thine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.
4. Mortals, join the mighty chorus
which the morning stars began;
love divine is reigning o'er us,
binding all within its span.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music leads us sunward,
in the triumph song of life.
Salutation
P The
Lord be with you.
C And also with you.
P Let
us pray.
Prayer
of the Day
P O
God, because Your abiding presence always goes with us, keep us aware of Your
daily mercies that we may live secure and content in Your eternal love; through
Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C Amen.
Old
Testament Reading
Jeremiah
20:7–13
7 O LORD, you have deceived me,
and I was deceived;
you are stronger than
I,
and you have prevailed.
I have become a
laughingstock all the day;
everyone mocks me.
8 For whenever I
speak, I cry out,
I shout, “Violence and destruction!”
For the word of the
LORD has become for me
a reproach and derision all day long.
9 If I say, “I will
not mention him,
or speak any more in his name,”
there is in my heart
as it were a burning fire
shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with
holding it in,
and I cannot.
10 For I hear many
whispering.
Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! Let us
denounce him!”
say all my close friends,
watching for my fall.
“Perhaps he will be
deceived;
then we can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
11 But the LORD is
with me as a dread warrior;
therefore my persecutors will stumble;
they will not overcome me.
They will be greatly
shamed,
for they will not succeed.
Their eternal
dishonor
will never be forgotten.
12 O LORD of hosts,
who tests the righteous,
who sees the heart and the mind,
let me see your
vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.
13 Sing to the LORD;
praise the LORD!
For he has delivered
the life of the needy
from the hand of evildoers.
L This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.
Psalm Psalm
91:1–10 (antiphon: v. 1)
1He who dwells in the shelter of the
Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3For he will deliver you from the snare
of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5You will not fear the terror of the
night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in
darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
9Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
10no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
He who dwells
in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
Epistle Romans 6:12–23
12Let
not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions.
13Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but
present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life,
and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14For sin will have
no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
15What
then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
16Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves,
you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death,
or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17But thanks be to God, that you
who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard
of teaching to which you were committed, 18and, having been set free from sin,
have become slaves of righteousness. 19I am speaking in human terms, because of
your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves
to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your
members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20When
you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21But what
fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed?
The end of those things is death. 22But now that you have been set free from
sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification
and its end, eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
L This is the Word of
the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.
Holy Gospel Matthew 10:5a, 21-33
P The Holy Gospel according to St.
Matthew, the 10th. chapter.
C Glory to You, O Lord.
5These twelve Jesus sent out,
instructing them, . . . .“
21“Brother
will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will
rise against parents and have them put to death,
22and you will be
hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be
saved. 23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I
say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the
Son of Man comes.
24“A
disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25It is
enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his
master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more
will they malign those of his household.
26“So
have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or
hidden that will not be known. 27What I tell you in the dark, say in the light,
and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. 28And do not fear those
who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy
both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not
one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30But even the
hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear not, therefore; you are of more
value than many sparrows. 32So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also
will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33but whoever denies me
before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
P This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C Praise to You, O Christ.
Children's
Message
Hymn of the Day Rock of Ages
1. Rock
of Ages, cleft for me,
let
me hide myself in thee;
let
the water and the blood,
from
thy wounded side which flowed,
be
of sin the double cure;
save
from wrath and make me pure.
2. Not
the labors of my hands
can
fulfill thy law's commands;
could
my zeal no respite know,
could
my tears forever flow,
all
for sin could not atone;
thou
must save, and thou alone.
3. Nothing
in my hand I bring,
simply
to the cross I cling;
naked,
come to thee for dress;
helpless,
look to thee for grace;
foul,
I to the fountain fly;
wash
me, Savior, or I die.
4. While
I draw this fleeting breath,
when
mine eyes shall close in death,
when
I soar to worlds unknown,
see
thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock
of Ages, cleft for me,
let
me hide myself in thee.
Sermon
Nicene Creed
C I believe in one God,
the
Father Almighty,
maker of
heaven and earth
and
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the
only-begotten Son of God,
begotten
of His Father before all worlds,
God of
God, Light of Light,
very God
of very God,
begotten,
not made,
being of
one substance with the Father,
by whom
all things were made;
who for us
men and for our salvation came down from heaven
and was
incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary
and was
made man;
and was
crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He
suffered and was buried.
And the
third day He rose again according to the Scriptures
and ascended into heaven
and sits
at the right hand of the Father.
And He will come again with glory to judge both the
living and the dead,
whose
kingdom will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord
and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with
the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,
who
spoke by the prophets.
And I
believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,
I
acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,
and I
look for the resurrection of the dead
and the
life T of
the world to come. Amen.

Prayer of the Church
P As
dear children ask their dear Father, let us bring to the Lord our prayers this
day, knowing that He will hear us and respond to our petitions. Confidently we
say,
C Lord,
hear our prayer.
P We pray for the world in which we live
and for the leaders of every nation, that peace may prevail around the globe
and that we may live without fear in our times. Humbly we say,
C Lord,
hear our prayer.
P We
pray for the Church, that it may grow and flourish even in those places where
persecution for our Lord’s sake is known. May the light of the glory of God be
reflected in every place. Faithfully we say,
C Lord, hear our prayer.
P We
pray for those in need of special petitions, including those who are ill, those
dealing with special challenges, the shut-in, the unemployed, and those who
grieve this day [including . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .]. According to Your good and gracious
will, bring strength to the weak, assurance to the fearful, and hope to those
in peril. Securely we say,
C Lord, hear our prayer.
P With
gratitude, we remember those whose earthly lives are now complete, including
relatives, friends, and members of this household of faith. May we be blessed
by the memory of all who have fallen asleep in Jesus as in fearless hope we
await the resurrection to life eternal. Thankfully we say,
C Lord, hear our prayer.
Preface to the Lord’s Supper
P The
Lord be with you.

P Lift
up your hearts.
C We lift them to the Lord.
P Let
us give thanks to the Lord our God.
C It is right to give Him thanks and
praise.

that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You, holy Lord,
almighty Father, everlasting God, because we know that our true security is in
You. Grant that we may ever trust in the graciousness of Your plan for our
lives and cling to the hope of eternity in Your glorious presence. Therefore
with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and
magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and singing:
Sanctus (Divine Service, Setting One LSB 161)
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of pow'r and might:
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna. Hosanna. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest
Prayer of Thanksgiving
P In Your righteous judgment You
condemned the sin of Adam and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, and You justly
barred them and all their children from the tree of life. Yet, in Your great
mercy, You promised salvation by a second Adam, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our
Lord, and made His cross a life-giving tree for all who trust in Him.
We give You thanks for the redemption You have prepared for us through Jesus Christ. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may faithfully eat and drink of the fruits of His cross and receive the blessings of forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in His body and blood.
We give You thanks for the redemption You have prepared for us through Jesus Christ. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may faithfully eat and drink of the fruits of His cross and receive the blessings of forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in His body and blood.
C Amen.
The Words of Our Lord
P Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night
when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and
gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My T body, which is given for you. This do
in remembrance of Me.”
P In
the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks,
He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new
testament in My T blood, which is shed for you for the
forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
Proclamation of Christ
P As
often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord's death
until He comes.
C Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus.
P O
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, in giving us Your body and blood to
eat and to drink, You lead us to remember and confess Your holy cross and
passion, Your blessed death, Your rest in the tomb, Your resurrection from the
dead, Your ascension into heaven, and Your coming for the final judgment. So remember us in Your kingdom and teach us
to pray:
Lord's Prayer
C Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.

Distribution Hymns
Lamb
of God
Your only Son, no sin to hide,
But You have sent Him from Your side,
To walk upon this guilty sod,
And to become the Lamb of God.
Chorus: O lamb of God, sweet
Lamb of God,
I love the holy Lamb of God!
O
wash me in His precious blood
My
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
Your gift of love, they crucified,
They laughed and scorned Him as He died,
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God. Chorus
I was so lost, I should have died,
But You have brought me to Your side,
To be led by Your staff and rod,
And to be called a lamb of God. Chorus

Just As I Am

1. Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidst me come to
thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
2. Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot,
to thee whose blood can cleanse
each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

3. Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
4. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
sight, riches, healing of the mind,
yea, all I need in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

5. Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse,
relieve;
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
6. Just as I am, thy love unknown
hath broken every barrier down;
now, to be thine, yea thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
