SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost / No Communion – 5:00 pm
GREETINGS and PRAYER
HYMN: LSB 523 “O Word of God Incarnate”
(Please rise)
CALL to WORSHIP
P. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
C: Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.
P: Know that the Lord is God.
C: It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of his pasture.
P: Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
C: Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
P: For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
C: His faithfulness continues through all generations.
P: Let us worship in the name of the Father,
C: Who has created us, now sustains us, and has seen to our salvation.
P: And in the name of the Son.
C: Who has saved us by His blood and thrilled us by His Resurrection from the dead.
P: And in the name of the Holy Spirit,
C: Who has brought us to faith and poured out on us His gifts.
P: Oh, come, let us sing to the Lord;
C: Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
CONFESSION and ABSOLUTION:
P. While we rightly acknowledge the Lord is great and most worthy of praise, we must also acknowledge our rebellion against him and our failure to keep his will. For if we claim we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
C: But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
P: Therefore, let us confess together who we are that we might be cleansed of our sin and assured of our salvation.
C: Most merciful Father, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean, and that we daily sin against you in thought, word, and deed. We sin by the things we do, and by the things we leave undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart, nor have we loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve your punishments now and in eternity. But, for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
P: Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners! For his sake God has indeed forgiven your sins and calls you back into his Way. Your sins are forgiven, therefore go and serve the Lord.
SONG OF RESPONSE: LSB 804 (vv.1,2,6) “O Worship the King”
THE SALUTATION & COLLECT:
P: The Lord be with you. C: And with your spirit.
P: Let us pray:
ALL: Almighty God, You exalted Your Son to the place of all honor and authority. Enlighten our minds by Your Holy Spirit that, confessing Jesus as Lord, we may be led into all truth; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
(Please be seated)
The FIRST READING: EZEKIEL 18:1-4, 25-32
The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: “‘The parents eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? 3 “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. 4 For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one who will die. 25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear, you Israelites: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust? 26 If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin, they will die for it; because of the sin they have committed they will die. 27 But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life. 28 Because they consider all the offenses they have committed and turn away from them, that person will surely live; they will not die. 29 Yet the Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are my ways unjust, people of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust? 30 “Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!
P: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.
The SECOND READING: PHILIPPIANS 2:1-18
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. 14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
P: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL HYMN: LSB 609 vs. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 “Jesus Sinners Doth Receive”
The HOLY GOSPEL: MATTHEW 21:23-32
P: The Gospel according to St. Matthew, the 21st chapter. C: Glory to You, O Lord.
(Please be seated)
23Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?” They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.” 27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ 29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. 30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. 31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
P: This is the Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise to You, O Christ.

Pastor: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.
CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION
Pastor: The Bible declares, “If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness therefore you are feared.” And so, we humbly confess our sins before God our Father.
People: O Lord, against you I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight. I have broken your laws. I have dishonored your name. I have not loved you with all of my heart, soul, and strength. I have not loved my neighbor as myself or even myself as my neighbor. I am sinful and unclean, and I rightfully deserve your wrath and punishment. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, Have mercy on me, a sinner. Forgive me, renew me, and lead me so that I may delight in your will and walk in your ways to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
Pastor: Almighty God in his mercy has given his only Son to die for you and for his sake forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained servant of the Word, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.

In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one foundation
We believe, we believe
In this broken generation
When all is dark, You help us see
There is only one salvation
We believe, we believe
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He’s given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He’s comin’ back again, we believe
So, let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
And in our weakness and temptations
We believe, we believe!
We believe in God the Father!
We believe in Jesus Christ!
We believe in the Holy Spirit!
And He’s given us new life!
We believe in the crucifixion!
We believe that He conquered death!
We believe in the resurrection!
And He’s comin’ back
He’s comin’ back again!
He’s comin’ back again!
We believe!
We believe!
