Welcome to worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church!
PRELUDE The
King Rides On Smith
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in
the highest.
The Lord be
with you.
And also
with you.
Let us pray.
We praise you,
O God, for redeeming the world through our Savior Jesus Christ. Today he
entered the holy city in triumph and was proclaimed messiah and king by those
who spread garments and branches along his way. Bless these branches and those
who carry them. Grant us grace to follow our Lord in the way of the cross, so
that, joined to his death and resurrection, we enter into life with you;
through the same Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
PROCESSION
Let us go
forth in peace,
in the name
of Christ. Amen.

Christ, the love of God, and communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also
with you.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
that I may know how to sustain the weary
with a word.
Morning by morning he wakens— wakens
my ear to listen as those who are taught.
5The Lord GOD
has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward.
6I gave my
back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;
I did not hide my face from insult
and spitting.
7The Lord GOD
helps me;therefore I have not been disgraced;
therefore I have set my face like
flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame;
8he who
vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together.
Who are my adversaries? Let them
confront me. 9It is the Lord GOD who helps me; who will declare me
guilty?
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be
to God
PSALM: Psalm
31:9-16
9Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I | am in trouble; my eye is consumed with sorrow, and also my throat | and my belly.
10For my life is wasted with grief, and my | years
with sighing;
my strength fails me because of affliction, and my bones |
are consumed.
11I am the scorn of all my enemies, a disgrace to my
neighbors, a dismay to | my acquaintances;
when they see me in the street | they avoid me.
12Like the dead I am forgotten, | out of mind; I am
as useless as a | broken pot.
13For I have
heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is | all around; they put
their heads together against me; they plot to | take my life.
14But
as for me, I have trusted in | you, O LORD. I have said, "You |
are my God.
15My times are | in your hand; rescue me from the
hand of my enemies, and from those who | persecute me.
16Let your face shine up- | on your servant; save
me in your | steadfast love."
SECOND READING: Philippians
2:5-11
did not regard equality with God as
something to be exploited, 7but emptied himself, taking
the form of a slave, being born in
human likeness. And being found in human form,
8he humbled
himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.
9Therefore
God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name,
10so that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the
earth,
11and every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
The Word of
the Lord. Thanks be to God
Matthew 21:1-11
The Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew the 21st
chapter. Glory to you O Lord.
1When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately.” 4This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, 5“Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”6The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” 10When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” 11The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
The
Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.
SERMON
are strewn this day in festal preparation,
Where Jesus comes to wipe our tears away
E’en now the throng to welcome Him Prepare
Refrain
Join
all and sing. His name declare,
Let every voice resound
with joyous acclamation,
Hosanna! Praise ye the
Lord
Bless Him who cometh to
bring salvation
His word goes forth, and peoples by its might,
Once more regain
freedom from degradation,
Humanity doth give to
each his right
While those in darkness
are restored to light.
Refrain
Sing and rejoice, O blest Jerusalem,
Of all thy sons sing
the emancipation,
Through boundless love
the Christ of Bethlehem
Brings faith and hope
to thee forevermore.
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
