FIRST READING: Genesis 29:15-28 SCRIPTURE READINGS 15 Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be? 16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah s eyes were lovely, and Rachel was graceful and beautiful. 18 Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel. 19 Laban said, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me. 20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her. 21 Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed. 22 So Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and made a feast. 23 But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her. 24 (Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid.) 25 When morning came, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me? 26 Laban said, This is not done in our country giving the younger before the firstborn. 27 Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years. 28 Jacob did so, and completed her week; then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as a wife. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 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. * PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION Generous, compassionate God, we gather before you to pray for the church, the world, and all in need. Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer. Into your hands we place all our prayers, spoken and unspoken, trusting in the mercy of Christ Jesus. * PEACE The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you. OFFERING Noisy Offerings for July are designated for the Durango Food Bank. * OFFERTORY SONG: As the Grains of Wheat (ELW # 465) * OFFERING PRAYER Merciful God, you open wide your hand and satisfy the need of every living thing.

SERVICE OF THE WORD SCRIPTURE READINGS FIRST READING: Genesis 29:15-28 (See page 7 for full text) PSALM: 105:1-11, 45b (See page 8 for full text) SECOND READING: Romans 8:26-39 (See page 9 for full text) CHILDREN S TIME *GOSPEL ACCLAMATION * GOSPEL Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 (See page 10 for full text) SERMON * HYMN OF THE DAY: Jesus Priceless Treasure (ELW # 775) * APOSTLES CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. PASTOR ART PASTOR ART 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. (continued at the top of page 16 >) PSALM 105:1-11,45b (Please read responsively) 1 Give thanks to the LORD and call up- on God s name; make known the deeds of the LORD a- mong the peoples. 2 Sing to the LORD, sing praises, and speak of all God s marvelous works. 3 Glory in God s holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 4 Search for the strength of the LORD; continually seek God s face. 5 Remember the marvels God has done, the wonders and the judgments of God s mouth, 6 O offspring of Abra- ham, God s servant, O children of Jacob, God s chosen ones. 7 The LORD is our God, whose judgments prevail in all the world, 8 who has always been mindful of the covenant, the promise made for a thousand generations: 9 the covenant made with Abraham, the oath sworn to Isaac, 10 which God established as a stat- ute for Jacob, an everlasting cove- nant for Israel, 11 saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan to be your allotted inheritance. 45b Hallelujah! 15 8
SECOND READING: Romans 8:26-39 SCRIPTURE READINGS 26 The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. 27 And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified. 31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? 33 Who will bring any charge against God s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered. 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. * PRAYER OF THE DAY Let us pray. Beloved and sovereign God, through the death and resurrection of your Son you bring us into your kingdom of justice and mercy. By your Spirit, give us your wisdom, that we may treasure the life that comes from Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. 9 14
* GOSPEL: Matthew 13:24-31-33, 44-52 SCRIPTURE READINGS CANTICLE OF PRAISE 31 [Jesus] put before [the crowds] another parable: The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; 32 it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. 33 He told them another parable: The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened. 44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; 46 on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and caught fish of every kind; 48 when it was full, they drew it ashore, sat down, and put the good into baskets but threw out the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51 Have you understood all this? They answered, Yes. 52 And he said to them, Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 13 continued at the top of pg. 14 > 10
