Sunday, October 11, 2020 The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Prelude Now we join in celebration osterland
Blessed be
the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, who
creates, redeems, and sustains us and all of creation.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Faithful
God,
have mercy
on us. We confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We turn
from your loving embrace and go our own ways. We pass judgment on one another before
examining ourselves. We place our own needs before those of our neighbors. We keep your gift of salvation to
ourselves. Make us humble, cast away our transgressions, and turn us again to
life in you through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
God hears the cries of all who call out in need, and through his death and resurrection, Christ has made us his own. Hear the truth that God proclaims: Your sins are forgiven in the name of ☩ Jesus Christ. Led by the Holy Spirit, live in freedom and newness to do God’s work in the world.
Amen.
GREETING
The grace of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, the love of God, and communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also
with you.
Hymn of Praise
PRAYER OF THE DAY
Children's message
1O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will
praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old,
faithful and sure. 2For you have made the city a heap, the fortified
city a ruin; the palace of aliens is a city no more, it will never be rebuilt. 3Therefore
strong peoples will glorify you; cities of ruthless nations will fear you. 4For
you have been a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in their distress, a
shelter from the rainstorm and a shade from the heat. When the blast of the
ruthless was like a winter rainstorm, 5the noise of aliens like heat
in a dry place, you subdued the heat with the shade of clouds; the song of the
ruthless was stilled. 6On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make
for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food
filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear. 7And he will
destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet
that is spread over all nations; 8he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of
his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. 9It
will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that
he might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; let us be glad and
rejoice in his salvation. Thanks be to God.
PSALM: Psalm 23
1The LORD | is my shepherd;
I shall not | be in want.
2The LORD makes me lie down | in green
pastures
and leads me be- | side still waters.
3You restore my | soul, O LORD,
and guide me along right pathways | for your
name's sake.
4Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death,
I shall |
fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they | comfort
me. R
5You prepare a table before me in the presence |
of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil, and my cup is |
running over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
| of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the | LORD
forever. R
1My brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my
joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved. 2I
urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3Yes,
and I ask you also, my loyal companion, help these women, for they have
struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together with Clement and the
rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. 4Rejoice
in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let your gentleness
be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about
anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus. 8Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is
commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of
praise, think about these things. 9Keep on doing the things that you
have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will
be with you. Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL: Matthew 22:1-14
The Holy Gospel according to St.
Matthew, the 20th Chapter.
Glory to you, O Lord
1Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying: 2"The
kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his
son. 3He sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the
wedding banquet, but they would not come. 4Again he sent other
slaves, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited: Look, I have prepared my
dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is
ready; come to the wedding banquet.' 5But they made light of it and
went away, one to his farm, another to his business, 6while the rest
seized his slaves, mistreated them, and killed them. 7The king was
enraged. He sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8Then
he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those invited were not
worthy. 9Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you
find to the wedding banquet.' 10Those slaves went out into the
streets and gathered all whom they found, both good and bad; so the wedding
hall was filled with guests. 11But when the king came in to see the
guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing a wedding robe, 12and
he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding robe?' And
he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him
hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14For many are called, but few are
chosen."
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.
SERMON
HYMN #719 v. 1,4,6
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 THE PEOPLE
PEACE
OFFERING
Please be sure to have the
wafer or bread if you choose laid out in front of you. As well is
you have wine or juice present that it is also in front of you during the
communion liturgy. Once the liturgy is complete, I will say, "The
Body of Christ given for you." We will then eat
together. The same for the drink.
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
