Refrain: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand.

4 2 When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace; in ev'ry high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the veil. Refrain 3 His oath, his covenant, his blood sustain me in the raging flood; when all supports are washed away, he then is all my hope and stay. Refrain 4 When he shall come with trumpet sound, oh, may I then in him be found, clothed in his righteousness alone, redeemed to stand before the throne! Refrain Text: Edward Mote, , alt.

5 Prayer of The Day A: O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without you nothing is strong, nothing is holy.

Amen. *Please be seated *Collection of yellow attendance slips Anthem "We Are Called" Emanuel Choir (8:00)

6 Children's Sermon Children's Choir (10:30) First Reading Malachi 4:1-2a 1 See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2a But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Responsive Reading Psalm 98 L: Sing a new song to the LORD, who has done marvelous things, whose right hand and holy arm have won the victory. C: O LORD, you have made known your victory, you have revealed your righteousness in the sight of the nations. L: You remember your steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. C: Shout with joy to the LORD, all you lands; lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing. L: Sing to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the voice of song. C: With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy before the king, the LORD. L: Let the sea roar, and all that fills it, the world and those who dwell therein.

7 C: Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the hills ring out with joy before the LORD, who comes to judge the earth. L: The LORD will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity. Second Reading 2 Thessalonians 3: Now we command you, beloved, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from believers who are living in idleness and not according to the tradition that they received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, 8 and we did not eat anyone s bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you. 9 This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to give you an example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat. 11 For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work. 12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. 13 Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. *Please stand in body or spirit. The Holy Gospel Luke 21: 5-19

8 Gospel Acclamation Alleluia" Page 205 The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke the 21 st chapter. Glory to you, O Lord. 5 When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, Jesus said, 6 As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down. 7 They asked him, Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place? 8 And he said, Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, I am he! and, The time is near! Do not go after them. 9 When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately. 10 Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; 11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought

9 before kings and governors because of my name. 13 This will give you an opportunity to testify. 14 So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance; 15 for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17 You will be hated by all because of my name. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your souls. The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ. *Please be seated. Sermon "When Temples Fall" Pastor Mark Schuring Luke 21:5-19 *Please stand in body or spirit. Hymn of the Day "Rise O Sun of Righteousness" #657 1 Rise, O Sun of righteousness; with your might creation bless. Shine upon your church today, showing all your gentle way. Have mercy, Lord. 2 Rouse our hearts from slumber deep; may your word within us leap. Give us voices to proclaim praises to your holy name. Have mercy, Lord. 3 Gather in your scattered flock; give us water from the rock. Bless the unity we share in our shepherd's loving care. Have mercy, Lord. 4 Burst the bars of stubborn pride; make the heav'nly pathway wide. Raise us up from sin and death with your Spirit's living breath. Have mercy, Lord.

10 5 Honor, praise, and glory be to the holy Trinity! May your gracious will be done: make us one, as you are one. Have mercy, Lord. Text: Christian David, et al.; tr. Frank W.

Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God's 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 to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Prayers of Intercession let us pray. Have mercy O God. Peace The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you. *Please be seated. Offering Offertory *Please stand in body or spirit.

11 Offertory Response We give thee but thine own, what-e er the gift may be. All that we have is thine alone, a trust, O Lord from thee. Offering Prayer The Lord s Prayer 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. Benediction Sending Hymn "Let All Things Now Living" #881 1 Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving to God the creator triumphantly raise, who fashioned and made us, protected and stayed us, who still guides us on to the end of our days. God's banners are o'er us, God's light goes before us, a pillar of fire shining forth in the night, till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished, as forward we travel from light into light. 2 God rules all the forces: the stars in their courses and sun in its orbit obediently shine; the hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains, the deeps of the ocean proclaim God divine. We too should be voicing our love and rejoicing; with glad adoration a song let us raise till all things now living unite in thanksgiving: "To God in the highest, hosanna and praise!"
