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.

PRAYER OF THE DAY
CHILDREN’S SERMON
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.
SERMON
HYMN We Walk By Faith #635 v. 1, 2, 3, 5
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

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in

temptation, but deliver us
from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen
