Special Recognition for Sandy Wrieden Thank You Sandy!

Profession of Faith All We believe that we have no access to God except through the one and only mediator and intercessor: Jesus Christ the righteous.

He therefore was made man, uniting together the divine and human natures, so that we human beings might have access to the divine majesty.

Prayer of Confession Almighty God, You have raised Jesus from death to life and crowned Him Lord of all. We confess that we have not bowed before Him or acknowledged His rule in our lives.

We have gone along with the ways of the world and failed to give Him glory. Forgive us and raise us from sin, that we may be Your faithful people,

obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules the world and is head of the church, His body. Jesus, hear our prayers.

SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel 1 John 2 I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.

But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

He is the full payment for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

The Proclamation of Scripture Luke 15:11-32 The Parable of the Lost Son  

11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.

14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.

16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!

18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.

24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.

26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in 28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders.

Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

Minister: This is the good news of the gospel! People: Thanks Be to God!

Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone

Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, But now am found Was blind, but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught My heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did That grace appear The hour I first believed

My chains are gone I’ve been set free My God my savior has ransomed me and like a flood His mercy rains Unending love amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow the sun forebear to shine But God who called me here below will be forever mine will be forever mine You are forever mine
