 Opening Hymn:
655 Lord Keep Us Steadfast In Your Word

O Lord, open my lips.
And my mouth will declare Your praise.
Make haste, O God, to deliver me.
Make haste to help me, O Lord.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost:
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Venite

Psalm 46
[1] God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
[2] Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
[3] though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
[4] There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
[5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
[6] The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
[7] The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
[8] Come, behold the works of the LORD,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
[9] He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
[10] “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
[11] The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah (ESV)


Office Hymn: 555 Salvation Unto Us Has Come



​



First Reading: Revelation 14:6-7
Second Reading: Romans 3:19-28
Third Reading: John 8:31-36

Sermon 

Te Deum

The Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His 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 into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Kyrie

Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.


The Lord’s Prayer.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.


The Collect of the Day
Almighty and gracious Lord, pour out Your Holy Spirit on Your faithful people.  Keep us steadfast in your grace and truth, protect and deliver us in times of temptation, defend us against all enemies, and grant to Your Church your saving peace;
through Jesus Christ, Your son, our Lord, who live s and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

The Litany (a pamphlet version can be found here) It can also be found on page 288 of the Lutheran Service Book
 The Prayer of the Church (these are from last week but will be updated later today)
​
The Collect for Peace.

O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, You have safely brought us to the beginning of this day.  Defend us with your might power and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger, but that all our doings being ordered by Your governance may be righteous in Your sight; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
℟: Amen.


The Benedicamus.
Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
​

The Benediction.
​The grace of the Lord ✠ Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with us all.
℟: Amen.
