PRELUDE Crown Him with Many Crowns arr. Elvey
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
1Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep
of my pasture! says the LORD. 2Therefore
thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my
people: It is you who have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and you
have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says
the LORD. 3Then I myself will
gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them,
and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and
multiply. 4I will raise up
shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer,
or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the LORD.
5The
days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous
Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice
and righteousness in the land. 6In
his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the
name by which he will be called: "The LORD is our righteousness."
1God is our ref- | uge and strength, a very
present | help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear, though the |
earth be moved, and though the mountains shake in the depths | of
the sea;
3though its waters | rage and foam, and
though the mountains tremble | with its tumult.
4There is a river whose streams make glad the cit- |
y of God, the holy habitation of | the Most High.
5God is in the midst of the city; it shall |
not be shaken; God shall help it at the | break of day.
6The nations rage, and the | kingdoms shake;
God speaks, and the earth | melts away.
7The LORD of | hosts is with us; the God of
Jacob | is our stronghold.
8Come now, regard the works | of the LORD, what
desolations God has brought up- | on the earth;
9behold the one who makes war to cease in |
all the world; who breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,
and burns the | shields with fire.
10"Be still, then, and know that | I am
God; I will be exalted among the nations;
I will be exalted | in the earth."
11The LORD of | hosts is with us; the God of
Jacob | is our stronghold.
11May you be made strong with all the strength that
comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything
with patience, while joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has
enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13He
has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom
of his beloved Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of
sins.
15He is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of all creation; 16for in him all things in heaven and on
earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. 17He
himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18He
is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from
the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. 19For
in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20and through
him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in
heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL: Luke 23:33-43
33When they came to the place that is called The Skull,
they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his
left. 34Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they do not
know what they are doing." And they cast lots to divide his clothing. 35And
the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, "He
saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen
one!" 36The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering
him sour wine, 37and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews,
save yourself!" 38There was also an inscription over him,
"This is the King of the Jews."
39One of the criminals who were hanged there
kept deriding him and saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!"
40But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God,
since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41And we
indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our
deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong." 42Then he said,
"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43He
replied, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise
to you, O Christ.
SERMON
HYMN O Christ, what can it Mean for Us #431
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,
