Confession and Absolution
The sign of the cross may be made by all in remembrance of their Baptism.
P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.
P Our help is in the name of the Lord,
C who made heaven and earth.
P If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared.
P Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, and receive the body and blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of this altar, let us first consider our unworthiness and confess before
God and one another that we have sinned in thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our
sinful condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our heavenly Father,
seeking His grace for the sake of Christ, and saying: God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
C Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead us to everlasting life. Amen.
P Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives you all your sins. As a
called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of
the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.
Service of the Word
Kyrie LSB 204
C Lord, have mercy;
Christ, have mercy;
Lord, have mercy.
Gloria in Excelsis LSB 204
Salutation and Collect of the Day
P The Lord be with you.
C And also with you.
P Let us pray.
Almighty God, by the working of Your Holy Spirit, grant that we may gladly hear Your Word proclaimed among
us and follow its directing; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C Amen.
Old Testament Reading Jeremiah 28:5–9
Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the presence of the priests and all the people who were
standing in the house of the LORD, and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so; may the LORD make
the words that you have prophesied come true, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of
the LORD, and all the exiles. Yet hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.
The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many
countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass,
then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet.”
P This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.
Epistle Romans 7:1–13
Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person
only as long as he lives? Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies
she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man
while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not
an adulteress.
Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another,
to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. For while we were living in the
flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. But now we are
released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in
the new life of the Spirit.
What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have
known sin. I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, seizing
an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. Apart from the law, sin lies
dead. I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. The very
commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment,
deceived me and through it killed me. So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is
good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond
measure.
P This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.
Alleluia and Verse
C Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Holy Gospel Matthew 10:34–42
P The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, the tenth chapter.
C Glory to You, O Lord.
[Jesus said:] “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a
sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or
mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And
whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever
loses his life for my sake will find it.
“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a
prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because
he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a
cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
P This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C Praise to You, O Christ.

Sermon “The Resurrecting Christ” Romans 7:1-13
Nicene Creed
C I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of His Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried.
And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures
and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father.
And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead,
whose kingdom will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,
who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,
and I look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life T of the world to come. Amen.
Recognition of Graduates
Prayer of the Church
P Beloved in the Lord, let us draw near to the Lord’s throne of grace and pray as He has commanded us, trusting in
the Lord to hear the prayers of His people and answer our petitions according to His mercy.
Brief silence
O most merciful God, Lord of heaven and earth, we pray You to so rule and govern Your Church and all her
pastors and ministers that she may be preserved in the pure doctrine of Your saving Word, defended against all
adversity, and protected from all adversaries, that thereby faith may be strengthened and love increased in us.
Grant health, wisdom and integrity to all in authority over us, especially to the president of the United States, the
governor of this state, the Congress, all legislative bodies, and all judges and magistrates. Endow them with Your
Spirit and with respect for Your Word, that they would serve Your good pleasure for the maintenance of
righteousness and the punishment of wickedness so that we all may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness
and honesty. According to Your gracious will, turn the hearts of our enemies and make them to walk with us in
humility and peace.
Grant to those in trouble, want, sickness, anguish of labor, peril of death or any other adversity the healthful
Spirit of Your grace for healing, strength, comfort and relief. Bless especially those who suffer for the sake of
Your name and Your Word. Hear us on behalf of _____________ and those we name in our hearts. Give them
courage to stand firm in their afflictions and patience until the day of Your deliverance.
Preserve us from pestilence and every evil. Give to us favorable weather and cause the fruits of the earth to
prosper, that we may enjoy them in due season and offer You praise and thanksgiving for all Your goodness to
us. Lend Your blessing to all honorable vocations and honest industry, that we may serve where our skills and
abilities may be of good use. Bless the arts and music, that we may please You and be encouraged by all that is
good, right, true and beautiful.
Give to all husbands and wives grace to live together in love and faithfulness. Bless the homes and families of
Your people, that they may be places where Your name is honored and love is nurtured. Give Your special grace
to the widowed, the orphan, all mothers with child, the aged and the infirm, that we may grant them comfort, aid
and protection.
All these things for which You would have us ask of You, we pray You to grant to us for the sake of the bitter
sufferings and death of Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we are bold to call You Father and in whose name
we pray, trusting in Your mercy and confident that You will give answer to our prayers; through Jesus Christ,
our Lord.
C Amen.
Service of the Sacrament
Celebration of the Lord's Supper
If you are a member of an LCMS congregation we invite you to join us this today for Holy Communion. Lutherans believe that the
celebration of Lord’s Supper is the eating and drinking of the body and blood of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin and
strengthening of faith. We also believe Holy Communion is a sign of oneness of faith, life, and worship. We ask that if you have
not communed with us before, and would like to receive Communion please visit with one of the elders on duty or one of the
Pastors so that we may be of help to you concerning your participation in this Holy Supper. Anyone is welcome to come forward
to receive a blessing. Simply indicate your desire by crossing your arms over your chest.
Preface LSB 208
P The Lord be with you.
C And also with you.
P Lift up your hearts.
C We lift them to the Lord.
P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
C It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You, O Lord, holy
Father, almighty and everlasting God, for the countless blessings You so freely bestow on us and all creation.
Above all, we give thanks for Your boundless love shown to us when You sent Your only-begotten Son, Jesus
Christ, into our flesh and laid on Him our sin, giving Him into death that we might not die eternally. Because He
is now risen from the dead and lives and reigns to all eternity, all who believe in Him will overcome sin and
death and will rise again to new life. Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven
we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:
Sanctus LSB 208
C Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Sabaoth adored;
Heav’n and earth with full acclaim shout the glory of Your name.
Sing hosanna in the highest, sing hosanna to the Lord;
Truly blest is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
Lord’s Prayer
C 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 Words of Our Lord
P Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke
it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My T body, which is given for you. This do in
remembrance of Me.”
In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying:
“Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My T blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of
sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
Agnus Dei LSB 210
C 1 O Jesus Christ, true Lamb of God,
You take the sin of the world away;
O Jesus Christ, true Lamb of God,
Have mercy on us, Lord, we pray.
2 O Jesus Christ, true Lamb of God,
You take the sin of the world away;
Have mercy on us, Jesus Christ,
And grant us peace, O Lord, we pray.
Distribution
Distribution of the Lord's Supper will be in the narthex and we will start with the back row and move toward the front. Please come
into the narthex by family unit (anyone who rode to church with you in your car). You will receive a blessing and then will be
