All Things Rise

Verse 1

God how beautiful Your Holy Word
That formed the worlds in such goodness
O the shame that we would spurn it all
To turn and fall into darkness

Verse 2

God we'll sing how through Your Son You turned
This loss and hurt into glory
How when scorned in death You raised Him up
His gain's become the whole world's story

Chorus 1

Let all things rise and bless Your name
All things made right and new again
O Lord our God Your goodness
Is free and boundless
Is reaching endless through it all

Verse 3

And on this road with every step we take
Your faithfulness is our portion
You've prepared a city bright and fair
Whose gates forever stay open

Verse 4

Son of God in You we've taken up
The way of love's occupation
O the joy to share in Your reward
The stunning turn of new creation

Bridge 1

Just as You promised God Your Son was
Raised up
In Him we'll follow in Him we'll all be
Raised up

Chorus 2

O Lord you've made yourself a home
Heaven and earth forever one
All things once sown in weakness
You raise in promise
Your beauty arches above it all

We Will Feast In The House Of Zion

Chorus 1

We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored
He has done great things we will say together
We will feast and weep no more

Verse 1

We will not be burned by the fire

We are not consumed by the flood
Upheld protected gathered up

Verse 2

In the dark of night before the dawn
My soul be not afraid
For the promised morning oh how long
Oh God of Jacob be my strength

Verse 3

Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed
You are the faithful one
And from the garden to the grave
Bind us together bring shalom

from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts
by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly
love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ
our Lord.

Summary of the Law

Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ says:

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets. - Matthew 22:37-40

The Kyrie

Lord, have mercy upon us
Christ, have mercy upon us
Lord, have mercy upon us

Collect of the Day

Lord God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ triumphed over the powers of death and prepared for us our place in the new Jerusalem: Grant that we, who have this day given thanks for his resurrection, may praise you in that City of which he is the light, and where he lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Amen.

Collect for Children

Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of children: Give us calm strength and patient wisdom so to train them, that they may love all that is true, and pure, and lovely, and of good report, following the example of their Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen.

OT Reading

Hosea 9:10–15

  Like grapes in the wilderness,
    I found Israel.
  Like the first fruit on the fig tree
    in its first season,
    I saw your fathers.
  But they came to Baal-peor
    and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
    and became detestable like the thing they loved.
  Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird—
    no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
  Even if they bring up children,
    I will bereave them till none is left.
  Woe to them
    when I depart from them!
  Ephraim, as I have seen, was like a young palm planted in a meadow;
    but Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.
  Give them, O LORD—
    what will you give?
  Give them a miscarrying womb
    and dry breasts.
  Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal;
    there I began to hate them.
  Because of the wickedness of their deeds
    I will drive them out of my house.
  I will love them no more;
    all their princes are rebels.

The Word of the Lord

Thanks be to God.

Psalm Reading

Ps 78:1-13; 14-26

Hear my teaching, O my people;*

incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable;*

I will utter dark sayings of old,

Which we have heard and known,*

and such as our forefathers have told us,

That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come,*

but show the honor of the Lᴏʀᴅ, his mighty and wonderful works that he has done.

He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law,*

which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,

That their posterity might know it,*

and the children which were yet unborn;

With the intent that when they came up*

they might show it to their children,

That they might put their trust in God,*

and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments;

And not be as their forefathers, a faithless and stubborn generation,*

a generation that did not set their heart aright, and whose spirit did not cleave steadfastly to God,

Like the children of Ephraim, archers carrying bows,*

who turned back in the day of battle.

They did not keep the covenant of God,*

and would not walk in his law,

But forgot what he had done,*

and the wonderful works that he had shown them.

Marvelous things he did in the sight of our forefathers,*

in the land of Egypt, even in the field of Zoan.

He divided the sea and let them go through;*

he made the waters to stand in a heap.

In the daytime he led them with a cloud,*

and all the night through with a light of fire.

He split the hard rocks in the wilderness*

and gave them drink in abundance, as out of the great deep.

He brought waters out of the stony rock,*

so that it gushed out like the rivers.

Yet for all this they sinned more against him,*

and provoked the Most High in the wilderness.

They tested God in their hearts*

and demanded food for their craving.

They spoke against God, saying,*

“Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

Indeed, he smote the stony rock, so that water gushed out, and the streams overflowed;*

but can he give bread also, or provide meat for his people?”

When the Lᴏʀᴅ heard this, he was full of wrath;*

so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and there flared up fierce anger against Israel,

Because they did not believe in God,*

and did not put their trust in his help.

So he commanded the clouds above*

and opened the doors of heaven.

He rained down manna upon them to eat*

and gave them food from heaven.

So mortals ate the bread of angels;*

for he sent them food enough.

NT Reading

Romans 8:35–39

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Word of the Lord

Thanks be to God.

Sermon

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.

Prayers of the People

Lord, in your mercy:

Hear our prayer.

Heavenly Father, grant these our prayers for the sake of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Confession

Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.

Almighty God and Father, we confess to you, to one another, and to the whole company of heaven, that we have sinned, through our own fault, in thought, and word, and deed, and in what we have left undone. For the sake of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and by the power of your Holy Spirit raise us up to serve you in newness of life, to the glory of your Name.

Amen.

Comfortable Words

Hear the Word of God to all who truly turn to him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - Matthew 11:28

God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. - 1 Timothy 1:15

If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. - 1 John 2:1-2

Peace

The Peace of the Lord be always with you.

And with your spirit.

Prayer of Humble Access

We do not presume to come to this your table, O merciful Lord,
trusting in our own righteousness,
but in your abundant and great mercies.
We are not worthy so much as to gather up
the crumbs under your table;
but you are the same Lord
whose character is always to have mercy.
Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord,
so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ,
and to drink his blood,
that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body,
and our souls washed through his most precious blood,
and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us.

Amen.

I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me

They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone

The angels roar for Christ the King

The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
