PRELUDE        My Faith Looks Up to Thee                                                 Pelz          

Confession and Forgiveness

In the name of the Father, and of the  + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.

 Most merciful God,

we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. 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. 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.

 In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for his sake God forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the church of Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

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.

PRAYER OF THE DAY

CHILDREN’S SERMON 

 FIRST READING: Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4

1The oracle that the prophet Habakkuk saw. 2O LORD, how long shall I cry for help,

          and you will not listen? Or cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save?

3Why do you make me see wrongdoing and look at trouble?

          Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.

4So the law becomes slack and justice never prevails. The wicked surround the righteous—

          therefore judgment comes forth perverted.

2:1I will stand at my watchpost, and station myself on the rampart; I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint.

2Then the LORD answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets,

          so that a runner may read it.

3For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie.

          If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.

4Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them,         but the righteous live by their faith.

 

PSALM: Psalm 37:1-9

1Do not be provoked by | evildoers; do not be jealous of those | who do wrong.

2For they shall soon wither | like the grass, and like the green grass | fade away.

3Put your trust in the LORD | and do good; dwell in the land and | find safe pasture.

4Take delight | in the LORD, who shall give you your | heart's desire.  

5Commit your way to the LORD; put your trust | in the LORD, and see what | God will do.

6The LORD will make your vindication as clear | as the light

          and the justice of your case like the | noonday sun.

7Be still before the LORD and wait | patiently. Do not be provoked by the one who prospers,

          the one who succeeds in | evil schemes.

8Refrain from anger, leave | rage alone; do not be provoked; it leads only to evil.

9For evildoers shall | be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD shall possess the land. 

 

SECOND READING: 2 Timothy 1:1-14

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, for the sake of the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus, 2To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. 4Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. 5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you. 6For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; 7for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.

          8Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God, 9who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 10but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher, 12and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. 13Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us.

 GOSPEL ACCLAMATION

 


 

 

 

 



GOSPEL: Luke 17:5-10

5The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" 6The Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

          7Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here at once and take your place at the table'? 8Would you not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink'? 9Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? 10So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, 'We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!'"

 

 

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.

 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
