THIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

September 8, 2019 Vol. 58, No. 41

Contemporary Service with Communion

September 8, 2019 – 9:00 A.M.

AS WE GATHER – The book is only twenty-one verses, but the impact of

today’s Epistle is powerful! In his shortest New Testament letter, Paul appeals to

a slave owner named Philemon on behalf of a repentant runaway named

Onesimus. Within this bold appeal is the powerful display of Christ’s work of

redemption for all who seek the renewed favor of their master. The death and

resurrection of Jesus make an appeal on our behalf before the Father. For we, like

Onesimus, have run away from Him. And we, like Onesimus, are offered

restoration, full and free, when we come into Jesus’ presence in humble

repentance and faith. Let’s do that together this day! As repentant runaways, let’s

gather to receive the restoration our Master alone can give!

WELCOME (Worshipers greet one another.) (Stand.) OPENING SONG: “Here I Am to Worship” Tim Hughes

Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness,

Opened my eyes, let me see,

Beauty that made this heart adore You,

Hope of a life spent with You.

CHORUS Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down.

Here I am to say that You're my God.

You're altogether lovely, altogether worthy,

Altogether wonderful to me.

King of all days, oh so highly exalted,

Glorious in heaven above.

Humbly You came to the earth You created,

All for love’s sake became poor. (CHORUS)

I'll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross.

I'll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross.

(CHORUS)

THE INVOCATION

Pastor: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

People: Amen.

OPENING SENTENCES (Philemon 3, 6)

Pastor: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus

Christ.

People: By God’s grace and peace, let us receive “the full knowledge

of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.”

CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION Pastor: Father in heaven, in Your mercy You call us to turn from our

sinful ways and live.

People: We confess that we have run away from Your presence. By

what we do and what we fail to do, we have turned our

backs on Your love. Forgive us, Father. Draw us again to

the cross of Your Son that we may be restored in our

relationship with You.

Pastor: Father, hear now the silent prayers of confession that we bring

before You.

(In a time of silence, we bring our sins to Jesus, our Savior.)

Pastor: Brothers and sisters in Christ, we are promised redemption and

restoration in the presence of our Father, who hears your prayers,

and for the sake of His Son, forgives you all your sins. Therefore

as a called and ordained servant of Christ, I forgive you all your

sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy

Spirit.

People: Amen.

PRAYER OF THE DAY Pastor: Let us pray. Merciful Father, You gave up Your Son to the

sacrifice of the cross in order to restore those who have run

away from Your presence.

People: Grant us to faithfully follow Him who offered His life for us

all.

Pastor: We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and

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

People: Amen.

(Be seated.)

FIRST READING: Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (ESV)

People: Thanks be to God.

SECOND READING: Philemon 1:21 (ESV)

Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God.

(Stand.)

HOLY GOSPEL: Luke 14:25-35 (ESV)

SERMON SONG: “Cry of My Heart” Terry Butler

CHORUS: It is the cry of my heart to follow You,

It is the cry of my heart to be close to You.

It is the cry of my heart to follow, all of the days of my life.

Teach me Your holy ways, oh Lord, so I can walk in the truth.

Teach me Your holy ways, oh Lord, and make me wholly devoted

to You. (CHORUS)

Open my eyes so I can see, the wonderful things that You do.

Open my heart up more and more, and make me wholly devoted to You.

(CHORUS)

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE

SERMON: “Walking As Jesus Walked”

Text: Luke 14:25-35

(Stand.)

NICENE CREED

All: I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and

earth and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,

begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of

Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one

substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who

for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and

was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was

made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again

according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at

the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory

to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have

no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who

proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and

the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the

prophets. And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic

Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,

and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the

world to come. Amen.

(Be seated.)

THE OFFERING (Note to our visitors: You are our guests this morning! Please do not feel the

need to make a contribution to our Offering. We would ask all visitors and

members to sign the Register Pad as the Offering is being collected. Also,

Prayer Cards are available in the pew racks for special intercessions during

the time of congregational prayer.

FOR ALL WHO DESIRE TO RECEIVE THE LORD’S SUPPER We believe that Christ’s Body and Blood is present in, with and under the

bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins. In this sacred meal Jesus gives

Himself in love to His Church to build us up in faith, hope and love. Since Christ

is truly present, the Sacrament is not to be received in a careless or indifferent

manner. St. Paul writes: “Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord

in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the

Lord. Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup.”

(1 Corinthians 11.27-28)

We believe that such self-examination necessarily includes the following

points: 1) Do I believe that the only true God is the Triune God, Three Divine

Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, within One Divine Being? 2) Do I humbly

acknowledge before God that I am indeed a sinner in need of His grace? 3) Do I

believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God is my personal Lord and Savior? 4) Do

I believe that in this Sacrament Christ is truly present for me for the forgiveness

of my sins? 5) Do I have a sincere desire, with God’s help, to live a life that is

pleasing to Him?

For those who can answer these questions in the affirmative, we welcome you

to join us at the Lord’s Table. For those who have a different religious

understanding, or are unclear as to the points listed above, we ask that you talk

to the pastor before receiving the Sacrament.

(Stand.)

PRAYERS OF THE CHURCH (Philemon 4–6)

Pastor: Paul writes, “I thank my God always when I remember you in

my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith that you

have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints.” United in love

and faith, let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus

and for all people according to their needs. For the Gospel of

Jesus Christ to reach into every corner of our broken world, that

all who are running away from our heavenly Father turn from

the path that leads to destruction, and by the Holy Spirit turn to

Jesus for redemption and restoration, let us pray to the Lord.

People: Father, strengthen us to turn to You in repentance and faith.

Pastor: For all those within the Church of Jesus, both clergy and laity,

that we join as one to share the restoring word of Jesus with

those we are sent to serve, embodying the spirit of Paul’s words

to Philemon that “the sharing of our faith may become effective

for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us,” let us

pray to the Lord.

People: Father, grant that we know all the good things that come to

us as we share Your Word.

Pastor: For all those who seek restoration with others, that the message

of forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation not only be received in

humble faith, but also shared within the relationships we have,

knowing that every one of us is dependent upon Christ’s mercy

and love, let us pray to the Lord.

People: Father, help us to extend to others the mercy we receive

from You.

(Continued)

Pastor: For all who labor in positions of service and leadership in our

country, state, and local community, including the members of

the armed forces, that they know the constant protection of our

gracious God and joyfully serve others in the vocations they

have been given, let us pray to the Lord.

People: Father, thank You for serving us through the lives of others.

Pastor: For all who are broken in heart, body, mind, and relationship,

including those who are shut-in, hospitalized, in care centers,

awaiting surgery, and recovering from medical procedures, that

the Lord would refresh the hearts of His saints and work

mightily for their good, let us pray to the Lord.

People: Father, grant healing and refreshment to all for whom we

pray.

Pastor: Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend ourselves and all for

whom we pray, trusting in Your mercy; through Jesus Christ,

our Lord.

People: Amen.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING Pastor: Blessed are You, O Lord our God, king of all creation, for You

have had mercy on us and given Your only-begotten Son that

whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

In Your righteous judgment You condemned the sin of Adam

and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, and You justly barred

them and all their children from the tree of life. Yet, in Your

great mercy, You promised salvation by a second Adam, Your

Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and made His cross the source of

restoration for all who trust in Him. We give You thanks for the

saving work of Jesus, by which we are restored as those who

once had run away from You but now return to You in

repentance and faith. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may

faithfully eat and drink of the fruits of His cross and receive the

blessings of forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in

His body and blood. Hear us as we pray in His name and as He

has taught us:

LORD’S PRAYER

All: 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.

THE WORDS OF OUR LORD

PAX DOMINI

Pastor: The peace of the Lord be with you always.

People: Amen.
