Whose Home?

Prelude / Welcome

804 O Worship the King

5 Frail children of dust and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail. Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend!

Invocation & Confession P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen.

6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angels delight to hymn Thee above, Thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.

P If we say 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 Let us then confess our sins to God our Father.

C Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We

have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done

and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole

heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your

present and eternal punishment. 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 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

Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen.

Salutation and Collect of the Day P The Lord be with you. C And also with you. P Let us pray. C Blessed Lord, since You have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our

learning, grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly

digest them that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of

everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and

reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

First Lesson

Psalm 40:1-3, 17 1

I waited patiently for the LORD;

he turned to me and heard my cry. 2

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock

and gave me a firm place to stand. 3

He put a new song in my mouth,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear the LORD

and put their trust in him.

17 But as for me, I am poor and needy;

may the Lord think of me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

you are my God, do not delay.

Second Lesson

Hebrews 13:1–3

13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so

doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. 3

Continue to remember those in

prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were

suffering.

Alleluia and Verse

Holy Gospel P The Holy Gospel, according to St Luke in the 5

th chapter.

Luke 5:12-16 12

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus,

he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 13

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the

leprosy left him. 14

Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that

Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” 15

Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of

their sicknesses. 16

But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

P This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Apostles' Creed

C 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 T everlasting. Amen.

Pastor: Almighty God, hear the prayers of Your people, grant to us all things needful and beneficial, and keep

from us all things harmful.

Holy Lord, mighty God, You are the strength of the hills and the hope of the ends of the earth. Give to our

hearts Your perfect peace, that we may not be anxious nor live in fear but rest all our hopes, dreams and desires

upon Your merciful goodness. Lord, in Your mercy,

People: hear our prayer.

Pastor: Holy Lord, mighty God, You send forth water upon the earth, that it may bring forth abundant fruit and

feed our bodies with all that we need. Help us to be wise and faithful in the use of the rich bounty of the earth,

that the poor may be supplied and that we never fail to give thanks to You for all You have given us for this

body and life. Lord, in Your mercy,

People: hear our prayer.

Pastor: Holy Lord, mighty God, Your Word will not return to You empty but will accomplish Your purpose in

sending it. By Your Holy Spirit, make our hearts good soil for Your Word to be planted, that we may give

evidence of a sturdy faith and show forth in our lives the good works You have called us to do. Lord, in Your

mercy,

People: hear our prayer.

Pastor: Holy Lord, mighty God, Your Spirit accompanies the witness of Your people who speak Your Word

People: hear our prayer.

Pastor: Holy God, mighty Lord, You know how weak and frail we are. Give to those afflicted in mind, body or

for those we name in our hearts. Lord, in Your mercy,

People: hear our prayer.

Pastor: Holy God, mighty Lord, You have granted us great riches and gifts. Keep our hearts from being

overburdened by the things of this mortal life, whether in time of plenty or in time of want. Deliver us from

persecution and sustain us from all tribulation, that our hearts may ever be fixed upon the true treasure of Your

grace. Accept the tithes and offerings we bring as part of our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving for all Your

goodness. Lord, in Your mercy,

People: hear our prayer.

Pastor: In Him, with Him and through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and

glory is Yours, almighty Father, both now and forevermore.

All: Amen.
