CONFESSION OF SINS
M: Beloved in the Lord: let us draw near with a true heart and confess our sins to God
our Father, asking him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us
forgiveness.
C: Holy and merciful Father, I confess that I am by nature sinful and that I have
disobeyed you in my thoughts, words, and actions. I have done what is evil and
failed to do what is good. For this I deserve your punishment both now and in
eternity. But I am truly sorry for my sins, and trusting in my Savior Jesus
Christ, I pray: Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.
M: God, our heavenly Father, has been merciful to us and has given his only Son to be
the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Therefore, as a called servant of Christ and by his
authority, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son (+)
and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
M: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
PRAYER AND PRAISE
M: In the peace of forgiveness, let us praise the Lord.
“Alleluia! Let Praises Ring” Christian Worship #241
1 Alleluia! Let praises ring! To God the Father let us bring
Our songs of adoration.
To him through everlasting days Be worship, honor, pow’r, and praise
Whose hand sustains creation.
Singing, Ringing: Holy, holy, God is holy. Spread the story
Of our God, the Lord of glory.
2 Alleluia! Let praises ring! Unto the Lamb of God we sing,
In whom we are elected.
He bought the Church with his own blood; He cleansed her in that blessed flood
And as his bride selected.
Holy, Holy Is our union And communion. His befriending
Gives us joy and peace unending.

PRAYER OF THE DAY
M: The Lord be with you.
C: And also with you.
M: Let us pray.
Grant us, Lord, the spirit to think and do what is right that we, who cannot do
anything that is good without you, may by your help be enabled to live according
to your will; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C: Amen.
THE WORD FIRST LESSON Joel 3:12 - 16
“Let the nations be roused;
let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I will sit
to judge all the nations on every side.
Swing the sickle,
for the harvest is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,
for the winepress is full
and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”
Multitudes, multitudes
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
The sun and moon will be darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.
The Lord will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and the heavens will tremble.
But the Lord will be a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel.

PSALM OF THE DAY Psalm 18 Christian Worship Page 69
(5:00 & 7:45) Cong. (Refrain & Glory Be); Vocalists (Verses)
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and by deliverer;*
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me;*
he rescued me from my powerful enemy.
He brought me out into a spacious place;*
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
Refrain
You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning;*
my God turns my darkness into light.
You save the humble*
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
You give me your shield of victory,*
and your right hand sustains me.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son*
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,*
is now, and will be forever. Amen.

SECOND LESSON 1 Peter 4:1-8
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same
attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not
live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of
God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—
living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. They
are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap
abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the
living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who
are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to
the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may
pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
ANTHEM “Heavenly Sower, You Have Gathered” 5:00 & 7:45 (Vocalists)
VERSE OF THE DAY (9:30)
Alleluia. My Word will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and
achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Alleluia.
GOSPEL Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43
M: The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew.
C: Glory be to you, O Lord!
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed
good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed
weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads,
then the weeds also appeared.
“The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your
field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
“‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go
and pull them up?’ “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you
may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time
I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned;
then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
7
Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said,
“Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the
world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the
people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the
end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
“As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the
age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom
everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing
furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will
shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
M: This is the Gospel of our Lord.
C: Praise be to you, O Christ!
APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
I believe 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 is seated at the right hand of God the Father
almighty. From there 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.

PRAYER OF THE CHURCH
Lord of power and grace, whose eyes are on the righteous and whose ears are open to
their cry, hear the prayer of your people as we come now in thankfulness for the
mercies that you pour down on us anew each day.
We thank you for the gifts of your mighty providence. Make us mindful, O Lord, that
you have provided us with life, breath, and being and are the source of our daily bread.
We praise you for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ, whom you sent to be the Savior of
the world. Grant that we may believe in him with all our hearts, learning from him the
great truths of the kingdom to which he bore faithful witness.
Grant us your Holy Spirit, that we may produce the fruits of righteousness. May he
endow us with unwavering faith, that we might always be ready to do your will.
We pray for the nations of the earth. Subdue terror and tyranny everywhere, and call
forth leaders who acknowledge that you are Lord over all the earth. Bless our own
land. May it ever follow that which is good and turn from all that which is wicked, that
our people may prosper in uprightness and integrity.
Hear, O Lord, our cry for those who are afflicted. Grant them heath in body and soul,
and save them for your mercy’s sake.
Special prayers and intercessions may follow.
Hear us, Lord, as we bring you our private petitions.
Silent prayer.
Guide and uphold us during our pilgrimage in this world, and bring us all to our
heavenly home. Receive these petitions in the name of the Prince of life, Jesus our
Lord. Amen.

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.
M: Almighty God, grant to your Church the Holy Spirit and the wisdom that comes
from above. Let nothing hinder your Word from being freely proclaimed to the joy
and edifying of Christ’s holy people, so that we may serve you in steadfast faith
and confess your name as long as we live, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C: Amen.
M: The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
The Lord look on you with favor and (+) give you peace.
C: Amen.
