The Order of Morning Worship – September 25, 2016

The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Welcome and Greeting

Opening Hymn: “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” (LSB 790) vs 1,2,4,5

5 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!

All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him!

Let the Amen

Sound from His people again;

Gladly forever adore Him!

Please feel free to sit at any point during worship as necessary for your health or comfort. Thank you.

Invocation

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

People: Amen.

Confession and Absolution

Pastor: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love;

People: according to Your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

Pastor: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!

People: For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.

Pastor: As the Lord’s prophet Amos spoke to the people of Israel, so His Word speaks to us today: “Woe to those who are at ease in Zion. Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory and stretch themselves out on their couches, who drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!”

Together we confess our sins:

People: Gracious and ever-providing Lord, we are by nature sinful. We are often complacent and filled with apathy in our worship and prayers. We have not loved You with our whole heart, and we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. For the sake of Jesus Christ, forgive our sins, cleanse our hearts, and renew our spirits, that we may obey You and serve our neighbors with joy and gladness all the days of our life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Pastor: Beloved in the Lord, God has heard our confession, and because of the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, He has answered with good news. As a called and ordained servant of Christ and by His authority, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

People: Amen.

Hymn of Praise: “Glory Be to God the Father” (LSB 506) vs 1-3

Prayer of the Day

Pastor: The Lord be with you.

People: And also with you.

Pastor: Let us pray.

God of truth and life, through Your Word, You called people in comfort and complacency back to You and to the tasks You had prepared for the sake of Your kingdom. Continue to guide us in the direction of righteousness that we may trust in You rather than in ourselves, serving our neighbors to the glory of Your holy name.

Prayer for the Church At Large

This week we lift up our prayers on behalf of our sister congregation, Trinity Lutheran Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and their pastor, Rev. David Buss.

We pray this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

People: Amen.

Old Testament Reading: Amos 6:1-7 (Pew Bible Page 768)

Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.

Hymn of the Day: “All Depends on Our Possessing” (LSB 732) vs 1-4

Message: “The Best Cheese Ever” (1 Timothy 6:6-19) Rev. Tim Radkey

The Apostles’ Creed

All: 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 everlasting. Amen.

Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and singing…

“Holy, Holy, Holy” (LSB 161)

The 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.

The Divine Service

Welcome to the Divine Service. We rejoice that in this service God comes to us and serves us through

His Word and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. With great joy we receive the

blessings of God in Christ Jesus. Word of God

We are thankful that God speaks and works through His Word. As we hear the Word of God

preached we welcome the Holy Spirit convicting us of our sin and celebrate that He also forgives us,

through the Gospel. The Gospel is the good news that God has reconciled us to Himself through the

life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. As we hear God’s Word, He gives faith to repent and believe the

Gospel. Baptism

We are thankful that God through the waters of baptism continues to create faith and deliver

eternity to people of all ages. We believe that Jesus invites all people and ages to the waters of Baptism

to receive the gift of eternal life through God’s imparting faith and the forgiveness of sins in Baptism.

The Holy Spirit works this through the power of the Word, in the water, with the promise of

forgiveness that Jesus gives. This is one way the full work of the cross is delivered into your life, in the

present. The Lord ’s Supper

We are thankful that in the Lord’s Supper, God delivers to you the real body and blood of Jesus in,

with, and under the bread and wine for the forgiveness of your sins and strengthening of your faith.

The Lord’s Supper is another way that Jesus’ full atoning work is given to you, in the present.

As scripture teaches us, there is a worthy and unworthy eating of the Lord’s Supper. When taken

worthily it is to our eternal good. When taken unworthily we receive divine judgment. Out of love

we invite those to the Lord’s Supper who have been baptized and received instruction in the

Lutheran understanding of faith through Confirmation or our New Members Class. Out of love we

ask that those in need of baptism or instruction to speak with a pastor before participating in the

Lord’s Supper. Everyone is welcome to join us at the Lord’s Table to receive a blessing. Simply cross

your arms on your chest to indicate you would like to receive a blessing.

We worship with joy in the truth that God continues to visit His people through these means for

their spiritual and eternal good. You are invited to listen, receive, and rejoice in God’s perfect work on

your behalf. We enter His house with thanksgiving and praise, and we leave renewed and cleansed

in the forgiveness of sins granted to us.

The image of the mountain within the OSL Logo depicts the journey on which we have been invited by Jesus, starting the moment of our salvation and continuing to our final day on earth, or when He returns in glory. The mountain can remind us of the adventure of following Jesus to those places He takes us, the various people we will encounter along the way, and the many opportunities OSL offers us to invigorate us while on our journey. Walking people into this adventure of following Jesus is our greatest joy!
