Invocation

Scripture: Psalm 65:(1-8), 9-13

¹ Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed,

² O you who answer prayer! To you all flesh shall come.

³ When deeds of iniquity overwhelm us, you forgive our transgressions.

⁴ Happy are those whom you choose and bring near to live in your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

⁵ By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance, O God of our salvation; you are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

⁶ By your strength you established the mountains; you are girded with might.

⁷ You silence the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.

⁸ Those who live at earth’s farthest bounds are awed by your signs; you make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.

⁹ You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water;   

you provide the people with grain, for so you have prepared it.

¹⁰ You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.

¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with richness.

¹² The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills gird themselves with joy;

¹³ the meadows clothe themselves with flocks; the valleys deck themselves with grain; they shout and sing together for joy.

“The Love of God”

Hymn #86

The love of God is greater far​

Than tongue or pen can ever tell;​

It goes beyond the highest star,​

And reaches to the lowest hell​

The guilty pair, bowed down with care,​

God gave His Son to win;​

His erring child He reconciled,​

And pardoned from his sin.​

O love of God, how rich and pure!​

How measure-less and strong!​

It shall forever more endure-​

The saints’ and angels’ song!​

When years of time shall pass away,​

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,​

When men who here refuse to pray,​

On rocks and hills and mountains call,​

God's love so sure shall still endure,​

All measureless and strong; ​

Redeeming grace to Adam;s race-​

The saints' and angels' song.​

O love of God, how rich and pure!​

How measure-less and strong!​

It shall forever more endure-​

The saints’ and angels’ song!​

Could we with ink the ocean fill,​

And were the skies of parchment made,​

Were ev-’ry stalk on earth a quill,​

And ev-’ry man a scribe by trade,​

To write the love of God above​

Would drain the ocean dry;​

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,​

Tho’ stretched from sky to sky.​

O love of God, how rich and pure!​

How measure-less and strong!​

It shall forever more endure-​

The saints’ and angels’ song!​

“How Great Thou Art “

Hymn #33

O Lord, my God, ​

when I in awesome wonder​

Consider all the worlds ​

Thy hands have made,​

I see the stars, ​

I hear the rolling thunder,​

Thy pow’r thro’-out ​

the universe displayed.​

Then sings my soul,​

my Savior God, to Thee.​

How great Thou art!​

How great Thou art!​

[x2]​

When thro’ the woods ​

and forest glades I wander​

And hear the birds​

sing sweetly in the trees,​

When I look down ​

from lofty mountain grandeur​

And hear the brook​

and feel the gentle breeze,​

Then sings my soul,​

my Savior God, to Thee.​

How great Thou art!​

How great Thou art!​

[x2]​

And when I think that God, ​

His Son not sparing,​

Sent Him to die, ​

I scarce can take it in;​

That on the cross, ​

my burden gladly bearing,​

He bled and died ​

to take away my sin.​

Then sings my soul,​

my Savior God, to Thee.​

How great Thou art!​

How great Thou art!​

[x2]​

When Christ shall come ​

with shout of acclamation​

And take me home, ​

what joys shall fill my heart!​

Then I shall bow ​

in humble adoration​

And there proclaim: ​

My God, how great Thou art!​

Then sings my soul,​

my Savior God, to Thee.​

How great Thou art!​

How great Thou art!​

[x2]​

Scripture: Romans 8:1-11

8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. ³ For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. ⁶ To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. ⁷ For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law—indeed, it cannot, ⁸ and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹ But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. ¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, then the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹ If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.

Invitation

Confession

Pardon 

Peace

Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him,​

who earnestly repent of their sin​   and seek to live in peace with one another.​Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another.

Merciful God, We confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church.​​

We have not done your will, we have broken your law,

we have rebelled against your love, we have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy.​

Hear the good news,

Christ died for us while we were still sinners,

which proves God’s love for us. ​In the name of Jesus Christ, You Are forgiven

In the name of Jesus Christ, You Are forgiven​

Glory to God, Amen. ​

Pastoral Prayer

Scripture: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

13:1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. ² Such great crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. ³ And he told them many things in parables, saying: “Listen! A sower went out to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some seeds fell on a path, and the birds came and ate them up. ⁵ Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. ⁶ But when the sun rose, they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered away. ⁷ Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. ⁸ Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. ⁹ If you have ears, hear!”

¹⁸ “Hear, then, the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. ²⁰ As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, ²¹ yet such a person has no root but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away. ²² As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. ²³ But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”

“The Breastplate of Saint Patrick” 

When my work takes me places I don’t want to go

Christ before me

And my heart aches with sorrow as I hit the road

Christ be with me

When the care of my family takes all that I have

Christ within me

When I’m worn and exhausted, ashamed that I’m mad

Christ defend me

I rise up today in a strength that is not my own

I’m held by the promise of God that I’m never alone

When I feel all alone, like no one else cares

Christ beside me

When I’m tossed to the side and I want to give up

Christ beside me

When I work hard but someone else gets the reward

God’s eyes see me

I ask for promotion and they shut the door

God’s ears hear me

When I climb the first steps toward a long-held dream

Christ above me

And I leap out in faith and I hope to find wings

Christ beneath me

Scripture: Genesis 25:19-34

¹⁹ These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, ²⁰ and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean. ²¹ Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife because she was barren, and the Lord granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived. ²² The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is to be this way, why do I live?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. ²³ And the Lord said to her,

“Two nations are in your womb,    and two peoples born of you shall be divided;the one shall be stronger than the other;    the elder shall serve the younger.”

²⁴ When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵ The first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle, so they named him Esau. ²⁶ Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau’s heel, so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

²⁷ When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. ²⁸ Isaac loved Esau because he was fond of game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁹ Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. ³⁰ Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!” (Therefore he was called Edom.) ³¹ Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.” ³² Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” ³³ Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Communion

The Communion Supper, instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a sacrament, which proclaims His life, His sufferings, His sacrificial death and resurrection, and the hope of His coming again. Brothers and sisters in Christ,​the Christian life is redeemed from sin and consecrated to God.​The Supper is a means of grace in which Christ is present by the Spirit. ​

It is to be received in reverent appreciation and gratefulness for the work of Christ. All those who are truly repentant, forsaking their sins, and believing in Christ for salvation are invited to participate in the death and resurrection of Christ. We come to the table that we may be renewed in life and salvation and be made one by the Spirit. ​

In unity with the Church, we confess our faith: ​Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. ​

Holy God, We gather at this, your table, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who by your Spirit was anointed to preach good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, set at liberty those who are oppressed.​

2-17 Christ healed the sick, fed the hungry, ate with sinners, and established the new covenant for forgiveness of sins. We live in the hope of His coming again. ​

On the night in which He was betrayed, He took bread, gave thanks, broke the bread, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.​

Likewise, when the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you, this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.” Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ​

And so, we gather as the Body of Christ to offer ourselves to you in praise and thanksgiving. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us and on these your gifts. Make them by the power of your Spirit to be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the Body of Christ, redeemed by His blood. ​

By your Spirit make us one in Christ, one with each other, and one in the ministry of Christ to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, let us pray: ​

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen​
