2 SEEKING THE LOST...FEEDING THE FOUND...WITH GOD S WORD AND SACRAMENTS Pastor Matthew Holtz Church Office: Cell Phone: pastor@sothgreeley.org Those who serve: Organist: Ushers: Rachel Meyer Andy Hinz & Joe Moya Welcome to everyone, especially to all our guests. We are so glad you have chosen to attend Shepherd of the Hills for worship today. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about us, please speak with Pastor Holtz. Are you wondering what the Best Next Step at Shepherd of the Hills is? We encourage you to worship with us again and talk to Pastor Holtz about FaithBuilders. Information on this Bible course can be found in the announcements on page 13. Restrooms are located on the left as you exit the sanctuary and in the Fellowship Hall to your right. Cry-Room - If you have a young child or nursing infant and are in need of a cry-room, you will find it located in the Fellowship Hall in the first room on the right. A television in that room has a live audio/ video feed of the service. Children s Bulletins for Ages 3 6 are available from the ushers. These bulletins are a quiet and fun way to involve young children in worship and teach them the Bible. 2
3 ORDER OF SERVICE OPENING HYMN Jesus Calls Us O er the Tumult Christian Worship 463 STAND M: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. Confession of Sins M: Beloved in the Lord: let us draw near with a true heart and confess our sins to God our Father, asking him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us forgiveness. C: Holy and merciful Father, I confess that I am by nature sinful and that I have disobeyed you in my thoughts, words, and actions. I have done what is evil and failed to do what is good. For this I deserve your punishment both now and in eternity. But I am truly sorry for my sins, and trusting in my Savior Jesus Christ, I pray: Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner. LORD, HAVE MERCY M: God, our heavenly Father, has been merciful to us and has given his only Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Therefore, as a called servant of Christ and by his authority, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. 3
4 Prayer and Praise M: In the peace of forgiveness let us praise the Lord. GLORY BE TO GOD 4
5 PRAYER OF THE DAY M: Let us pray. God, our refuge and strength, have mercy on your Church, as we come in prayer before you. Answer us not in judgment on our sins, but in peace and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen. BE SEATED The Word FIRST LESSON Joshua 7:1,19-26 But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things; Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of them. So the Lord s anger burned against Israel. 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me. 20 Achan replied, It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: 21 When I saw in the plunder a beautiful robe from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath. 22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath. 23 They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and spread them out before the Lord. 24 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor. 25 Joshua said, Why have you brought this trouble on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today. Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them. 26 Over Achan they heaped up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day. Then the Lord turned from his fierce anger. Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor ever since. (NIV) M: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God! 5
6 PSALM OF THE DAY Psalm 119b Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees;* then I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law* and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands,* for there I find delight. Refrain Turn my eyes away from worthless things;* preserve my life according to your Word. Fulfill your promise to your servant,* so that you may be feared. How I long for your precepts!* Preserve my life in your righteousness. 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. Refrain 6
7 SECOND LESSON 1 John 2: Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. (NIV) M: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God! VERSE OF THE DAY 7
8 STAND GOSPEL Luke 18:18-27 M: The Gospel according to Luke chapter A certain ruler asked him, Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? 19 Why do you call me good? Jesus answered. No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother. [a] 21 All these I have kept since I was a boy, he said. 22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. 23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God. 26 Those who heard this asked, Who then can be saved? 27 Jesus replied, What is impossible with man is possible with God. (NIV) M: This is the Gospel of our Lord. BE SEATED HYMN OF THE DAY O Holy Spirit, Grant Us Grace Christian Worship 185 SERMON 8
9 STAND APOSTLES CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe 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 is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there 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 everlasting. Amen. BE SEATED OFFERING In response to God s love, we bring him our offerings. The members of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church have joined together to do the Lord's work in this community and around the world. Guests need not feel obligated to participate in this offering which supports our ministry. We ask that everyone, both guests and members, sign the worship register during the collection of the offering so that we might have record of who joined us and invite you to upcoming events.

Give success to every effort that helps students read, think, and communicate in ways that will promote an informed and responsible citizenry. Arouse curious minds to discover the wonders of your created order. C: Give us teachers and students who pursue excellence. M: Strengthen the families of our country.

M: Gracious Father, we pray boldly as Jesus taught, with the confidence that you will hear and with the faith that you will respond for our welfare. C: Amen. 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. BE SEATED HYMN The Law Commands and Makes Us Know Christian Worship 286 STAND M: Almighty God, grant to your Church the Holy Spirit and the wisdom that comes from above. Let nothing hinder your Word from being freely proclaimed to the joy and edifying of Christ s holy people, so that we may serve you in steadfast faith and confess your name as long as we live, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen. 10
