TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST / NO COMMUNION – 5:00 PM

GREETINGS and PRAYER

A SONG: Songs of Grace 13 Brethren, We Have Met to Worship
(Please Rise)
INVOCATION
Pastor: We make our beginning in the name of the Father;
People: who has created us, defended us, and provided for all our needs.
Pastor: We make our beginning in the name of the + Son;
People: who has come to us, redeemed us, and will come again to take us home.
Pastor: We make our beginning in the name of the Holy Spirit;
People: who has given us life, brought us to faith, and sanctified us by his word.
Pastor: To the Triune God be all glory, thanks, and praise.
People: Amen.

CONFESSION
Pastor: Heavenly Father, you have made us, we are your creation, everything we have and need comes from your hand. We thank you for this day and all its gifts. But, Father, we must also confess that we have transgressed your commands and gone our own way. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Therefore, Father, hear us as we confess who we are:

All: Lord God, we confess our sin. You have promised to provide for all our needs, yet we mistrust your promise. You have given us your spirit and called us to obedience, yet we serve our own desires and make them gods before you. You have urged us to love our neighbors, yet we choose whom we will love and treat the rest as though they do not matter. Father, forgive us, for we have sinned. For the sake of your Son and his awesome sacrifice, forgive us and make us whole again.

ABSOLUTION
Pastor: Our God is a great God and greatly to be praised. He gives us daily bread for both body and soul. Sin no longer has dominion over us, and the Old Accuser has no claim upon us. By his grace, we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, and in his Name, we have peace with God. Our sins are

forgiven; our guilt set aside. By the cross of Jesus and the Word of God then believe these words: I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. People: Amen!

Amen.

THE FIRST READING: GENESIS 9:8-17
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” 17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

THE SECOND READING: EPHESIANS 3:14-21
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.

The GOSPEL: MARK 6:45-56
Pastor: The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, the sixth chapter.
People: Glory be to Thee, O Lord.

(Please be seated)
45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. 47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened. 53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

Pastor: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
