3 OLD TESTAMENT READING Daniel 10:10 14; 12:1 3 And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words. The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come. At that time shall arise Michael, the Great Prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. p: This is the Word of the Lord. c: Thanks be to God. PSALMODY (Choir) Setting by Thomas E. Lock Ps. 91 KJV Antiphon: He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

4 nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Antiphon For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Antiphon EPISTLE Revelation 12:7 12 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and His angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the Word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to

5 you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short! p: This is the Word of the Lord. c: Thanks be to God. Stand ALLELUIA VERSE (Choir) Setting by Kevin Hildebrand Ps. 103:22; 146:9 Alleluia! Praise the Lord, all His works, everywhere in His dominion. Praise the Lord, O my soul. Alleluia! HOLY GOSPEL Luke 10:17-20 p: The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the 10 th chapter. c: Glory be to Thee, O Lord. The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name! And He said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. p: This is the Gospel of the Lord. c: Praise be to Thee, O Christ. CHORAL RESPONSE (Choir) Let Me Depart this Life by T. E. Lock Let me depart this life Confiding in my Savior; By grace receive my soul That it may live forever; And let my body have A quiet resting place Within a Christian grave; And let it sleep in peace. And on that final day When all the dead are waking, Stretch out Your mighty hand, My deathly slumber breaking. Then let me hear Your voice, Redeem this earthly frame, And bid me to rejoice With those who love Your name. APOSTLES CREED Hymnal page: 192 Sit

7 6. A roaring lion, round he goes, No halt nor rest he ever knows; He seeks the Christians to devour And slay them by his dreadful pow'r. 7. But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on ev'ry hand To guard His people where they go And break the counsel of the foe. 8. For this, now and in days to be, Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee, Whom all the angel hosts adore With grateful songs forevermore. SERMON OFFERTORY Hymnal page: 192 RECEIVING THE SACRAMENT AT TRINITY Trinity Lutheran Church, according to our Lord s Word, practices closed communion. We kindly ask any visitor to speak with one of our Pastors before partaking of the Lord s Supper. According to the Words of Institution we believe the Supper to be a participation in the very body and blood of Jesus. The Pastors have been entrusted with these gifts as stewards of the mysteries to serve this meal carefully. We believe that it is a communion in all we believe, teach, and confess as Lutherans. We want to serve this meal to you faithfully and for you to understand our beliefs before you commune. Every communicant should mark an attendance card before approaching the Lord s Table.

9 Leading the service today from the organ bench is Kantor Kevin Hildebrand of Concordia Theological Seminary Fort Wayne. Yesterday he led an Organists Workshop. He will be teaching today in Bible Class about the role of music in the Church and the training of musicians in His service. Kantor Hildebrand is an active composer (numerous publications with Concordia Publishing House and Morning Star Publishers. He conducts many workshops and is an instructor for the LCMS on worship. He earned degrees at Concordia University River Forest (now, Chicago) where he won the prestigious Hillert Award for Composition, University of Michigan, and Concordia Theological Seminary Fort Wayne. He has been an active Church Music in parishes and educational institutions. LORD GOD TO THEE WE GIVE ALL PRAISE (LSB 522) Philipp Melanchthon, the chief author of the Augsburg Confession, wrote this beautiful hymn on the holy angels and their work. Written a few years before Luther s death one can imagine it bringing comfort to Luther himself as he lay on his death bed. Music helps us to see what is unseen. Through Word and song we see the holy angels: that watchful band that guard us in this life and attend us as we die (stanza 7). As we busily go they are forgotten, but they do not forget us as they protect toddling children, those who travel, grow weak, who are tempted, who are dying and many others. The hymn shows them in two dimensions, before the Father in heaven, and here on earth in daily life. Stanzas 1 3 teach that they are created and are attending the Christian Church on earth. This makes clear their work for human beings as seen as they attended even to our Lord Jesus in birth, time of danger, and Resurrection. Stanzas 4 6 depict another angel, who is not from eternity, but also one of the creations, the devil. He is not equal to Jesus but fallen and angry (4), always causing trouble in both Church and State (5), and as St. Peter writes is looking to harm Christians like a roaring lion. He cannot and will not win, as we are blessed to see in Revelation the angels fight for us in heaven. Today we can join our voices with theirs in praise of God (8) because Satan has been conquered by the blood of Christ. (Rev. Adrian N. Sherrill, for Logia Online)
