Please be seated Announcements Please stand The Hymn of Invocation Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice Public domain Invocation L In the Name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. 4

5 Confession and Absolution L Our help is in the name of the Lord, C who made heaven and earth. L If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared. L Let us kneel and confess our sins to God our Father. L Since we are gathered to hear God s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, and receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of this altar, let us first consider our unworthiness and confess before God and one another that we have sinned in thought, word and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our sinful condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our heavenly Father, seeking His grace for the sake of Christ, and saying: God be merciful to me, a sinner. C Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead us to everlasting life. Amen. P Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. Service of the Word Please stand Salutation and Collect of the Day L The Lord be with you. C And also with you. L Let us pray. L O God, You see that of ourselves we have no strength. By Your mighty power defend us from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C Amen. Please be seated First Reading 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10 All this is evidence that God s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. 5

6 Please stand L The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke the 13 th chapter, verses 1-5 C Glory to You, O Lord. Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. L This is the Gospel of the Lord. C Praise to You, O Christ. The Apostles Creed L Let us with one voice confess our faith saying The Apostles' Creed C I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life T everlasting. Amen. Please be seated Children s Message Psalm Reading 103:8-12 Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle s. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. R This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. 6

7 Song of the Day On Eagle Wings Verse1 You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Who abide in His shadow for life Say to the Lord, AMy refuge, my Rock in whom I trust.@ Chorus Verse 2 Verse 3 And He will raise you upon eagle wings Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, And hold you in the palm of His hand. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, And famine will bring you no fear Under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield. (Chorus) For to His angels He s given a command; To guard you in all of your ways, Upon their hands they will bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Chorus) Sermon Just Job 3:1-2, 26 & 4:1, 7-9, After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 He said: 26 I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil. 4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: 7 Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed? 8 As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it. 9 At the breath of God they perish; at the blast of his anger they are no more. 17 Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker? 18 If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error, 19 how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth! 20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces; unnoticed, they perish forever. 21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up, so that they die without wisdom? Offering and Musical Offering Please stand Prayer of the Church P Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus and all people according to their needs. (After each petition: Pastor: Lord in your mercy. People: Hear our prayer.) P All these things and whatever else You know that we need grant us for the sake of Him who died and rose again and who now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C Amen. 7

8 Service of the Sacrament Prayer of Thanksgiving P C Let us pray Amen Lord's Prayer P Lord, remember us in Your Kingdom and teach us to pray. 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. Words of Our Lord (Pastor) Pax Domini P The peace of the Lord be with you always. C And also with you. Agnus Dei 8

9 Please be seated Distribution and Hymns General Distribution: We invite you to come up to the altar for communion. Special Distribution: Those that are unable to use the stairs to commune at the altar, please stay seated until a communion assistant team comes to the bottom of the stairs. An usher will guide you to walk up and receive communion. For those who cannot walk to the front, communion assistants will commune you at your seat. Holy Communion is a gift from God. It is the Lord s Table to which He invites us. As we prepare to receive the Sacrament, we might ask ourselves the following questions: Do I realize that I am a sinful human being? Do I understand that our Lord gave His life, His body and blood, for me on the cross that I might be forgiven of my sins and in His resurrection raised me to a new life? Do I realize that in the Lord s Supper He gives me His true body and blood that I might be assured of forgiveness and that my faith is strengthened that I might serve my Lord and through Him serve others? If you are a baptized Christian and share these Biblical truths, please join us in the celebration of the Sacrament. If you have not yet been baptized or received instruction, please come forward for a blessing, crossing your arms over your chest to indicate you are not receiving the elements. Distribution Music Cornerstone Verse 1 My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly trust in Jesus' name! Chorus Verse 2 Christ alone, Cornerstone; Weak made strong in the Savior's love, Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all! When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace. In ev'ry high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil! Interlude Verse 3 He is Lord, Lord of all. When he shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found. Dressed in His righteousness alone; Faultless I stand before the throne! Faultless I stand before the throne! The throne! 9

10 Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness 7 Lord, by love and mercy driven, You once left Your throne in heaven On the cross for me to languish, And to die in bitter anguish, To forego all joy and gladness, And to shed Your blood in sadness. By this blood redeemed and living, Lord, I praise You with thanksgiving. 8 Jesus, bread of life, I pray You, Let me gladly here obey You. By Your love I am invited, Be Your love with love requited; By this Supper let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love s treasure. Through the gift of grace You give me, As Your guest in heav n receive me Lutheran Book of Worship. Used by permission: LSB Hymn License.NET, no Public domain 10
