The Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost August 12, 2018 8:00am Welcome and Announcements Hymn of Invocation: Christ the Eternal Lord LSB 829 Stand Confession and Absolution The sign of the cross may be made by all in remembrance of their Baptism. P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. P If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. C But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Silence for reflection on God's Word and for self-examination. P Let us then confess our sins to God our Father. C Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy name. Amen. P In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for His sake God forgives us all our sins. To those who believe in Jesus Christ He gives the power to become the children of God and bestows on them the Holy Spirit. May the Lord, who has begun this good work in us, bring it to completion in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. C Amen. 2

Salutation and Collect of the Day Sit P The Lord be with you. C And also with you. P Let us pray. P Gracious Father, Your blessed Son came down from heaven to be the true bread that gives life to the world.

Old Testament Reading 1 Kings 19:1 8 1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow. 3 Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he asked that he might die, saying, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers. 5 And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, Arise and eat. 6 And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down again. 7 And the angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said, Arise and eat, for the journey is too great for you. 8 And he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mount of God. A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Hymn: Be Still, My Soul, before the Lord LSB 771 Psalm 34:1 8 (antiphon: v. 3) P Oh, magnify the Lord with me, C and let us exalt his name together! P I will bless the Lord at all times; C his praise shall continually be in my mouth. P My soul makes its boast in the Lord; C let the humble hear and be glad. P Oh, magnify the Lord with me, C and let us exalt his name together! P I sought the Lord, and he answered me C and delivered me from all my fears. 6
P Those who look to him are radiant, C and their faces shall never be ashamed. P This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him C and saved him out of all his troubles. P The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, C and delivers them. P Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! C Blessèd is the man who takes refuge in him! ALL: 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. P Oh, magnify the Lord with me, C and let us exalt his name together! Epistle Ephesians 4:17 5:2 17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you learned Christ! 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil. 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and 7
slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Stand A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Alleluia and Verse Holy Gospel John 6:35 51 P The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the sixth chapter. 35 Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have 8
eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, I am the bread that came down from heaven. 42 They said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, I have come down from heaven? 43 Jesus answered them, Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, And they will all be taught by God. Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me 46 not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. P This is the Gospel of the Lord. Sit Children s Message Hymn of the Day: O Living Bread from Heaven LSB 642 Sermon Stand Apostles' Creed C I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, 9
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. Sit Offering Stand Offertory: Feed Thy Children, God Most Holy LSB 774 Prayer of the Church 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. 10
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. Closing Prayer P Blessed Lord, You have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning. Grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn and take them to heart that, by the patience and comfort of Your holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, on God, now and forever.

The Lord Jesus Feeds Us with His Flesh, in Order to Strengthen Us with His Own Life God the Father sent His Son into the world, so that the world might have life in Him. Now He draws you to His Son, Christ Jesus, by the preaching of His Gospel. Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Jesus, who will never cast him out but will raise him up on the last day (John 6:44 45). He is the bread of life, who comes down from heaven in the flesh, that you may eat of Him and live forever (John 6:48 51). Although the journey is too great for you, in the strength of this food you shall come to the mount of God. Do not be afraid, and do not despair, but arise and eat (1 Kings 19:5 8). And no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds (Eph. 4:17), but walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us (Eph. 5:2). In Him, you have been created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness (Eph. 4:24). Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children (Eph. 5:1), by forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you (Eph. 4:32).
