Welcome to worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church!
PRELUDE “How Great Thou Art with the Majesty S Arant
The
Majesty and Glory of Your Name”
CONFESSION AND FORGIVNESS
Blessed be the holy Trinity, + one God,
who forgives all our sin, whose mercy endures
forever.
Amen.
Let us confess our sin and come to God for healing.
Silence is kept for reflection.
Gracious God,
have mercy on us.
We confess that we have honored you with our
lips,
but have harmed our neighbors with our tongues.
The cravings at war within us
cause conflicts and disputes.
In our desire to be first
we make distinctions among ourselves.
We place the needs of the poor and the suffering
last.
In your great mercy, forgive us our sins.
Draw near to us with grace in time of need,
and turn us to follow in the way of Jesus
Christ,
our Savior and Lord.
Amen.
God promises to forgive our iniquity
and to remember our sin no more.
By grace you have been saved.
In the name of ☩ Jesus Christ,
the source of eternal healing,
your sins are forgiven.
Amen.

First Reading: Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14
9As I watched,
thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne,
his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. 10A stream of fire issued
and flowed out from his presence. A thousand thousands served him, and ten
thousand times ten thousand stood attending him. The court sat in judgment, and
the books were opened. 13As I watched
in the night visions,
I saw one like a human being coming with the clouds of heaven. And he came to
the Ancient One and was presented before him. 14To him was given dominion
and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve
him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his
kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.
Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
Psalm: Psalm 93
1The Lord is
king, robed in majesty; the Lord is
robed in majesty and | armed
with strength. The Lord has made the world so sure
that it cannot be
moved.
2Ever since the world
began, your throne has | been established;
you are from | everlasting.
3The waters have lifted
up, O Lord, the waters have
lifted | up their voice;
the waters have lifted up
their | pounding waves.
4Mightier than the sound
of many waters, mightier than the breakers | of
the sea, mightier is
the Lord who | dwells on high.
5Your testimonies
are | very sure, and holiness befits your house, O Lord, forever
and forevermore.
Second Reading: Revelation 1:4b-8
4bGrace to you
and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven
spirits who are before his throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the
firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood, 6and made us to be a
kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion
forever and ever. Amen. 7Look! He is
coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and
on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail. So it is to be. Amen. 8“I am the Alpha and the
Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Word of the
Lord. Thanks be to God
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Gospel: John 18:33-37
The Holy Gospel according to Saint John the 18th
chapter. Glory to you O Lord.
33Pilate
entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the
King of the Jews?” 34Jesus
answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?” 35Pilate replied, “I am not
a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me.
What have you done?” 36Jesus
answered, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this
world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the
Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.” 37Pilate asked him, “So you
are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born,
and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who
belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
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

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