Thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, 'I dwell in the high and holy place and also with the one who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite.' Isaiah 57:15

Confession of Sin

Most merciful God,
I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. Amen

The Lessons

Psalm 131

⁽¹⁾ LORD, my heart is not haughty, Nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, Nor with things too profound for me. ⁽²⁾ Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me. ⁽³⁾ O Israel, hope in the LORD From this time forth and forever.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Psalm 132

⁽¹⁾ LORD, remember David And all his afflictions; ⁽²⁾ How he swore to the LORD, And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: ⁽³⁾ Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, Or go up to the comfort of my bed; ⁽⁴⁾ I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,

⁽⁵⁾ Until I find a place for the LORD, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.' ⁽⁶⁾ Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; We found it in the fields of the woods. ⁽⁷⁾ Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool. ⁽⁸⁾ Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

⁽⁹⁾ Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy. ⁽¹⁰⁾ For Your servant David's sake, Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed. ⁽¹¹⁾ The LORD has sworn in truth to David; He will not turn from it: 'I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body. ⁽¹²⁾ If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I shall teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.'

⁽¹³⁾ For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: ⁽¹⁴⁾ This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. ⁽¹⁵⁾ I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. ⁽¹⁶⁾ I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

⁽¹⁷⁾ There I will make the horn of David grow; I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed. ⁽¹⁸⁾ His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.'

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Psalm 133

⁽¹⁾ Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! ⁽²⁾ It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. ⁽³⁾ It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing -- Life forevermore.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Zechariah Chapter 13

⁽¹⁾ In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. ⁽²⁾ It shall be in that day,' says the LORD of hosts, 'that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to depart from the land. ⁽³⁾ It shall come to pass that if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who begot him will say to him, 'You shall not live, because you have spoken lies in the name of the LORD.' And his father and mother who begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesies. ⁽⁴⁾ And it shall be in that day that every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies; they will not wear a robe of coarse hair to deceive.

⁽⁵⁾ But he will say, 'I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.' ⁽⁶⁾ And one will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' Then he will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.' ⁽⁷⁾ Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, Against the Man who is My Companion,' Says the LORD of hosts. 'Strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered; Then I will turn My hand against the little ones. ⁽⁸⁾ And it shall come to pass in all the land,' Says the LORD, 'That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one- third shall be left in it:

⁽⁹⁾ I will bring the one-third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, 'This is My people'; And each one will say, 'The LORD is my God.' '

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Ephesians Chapter 1

⁽¹⁵⁾ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, ⁽¹⁶⁾ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: ⁽¹⁷⁾ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, ⁽¹⁸⁾ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

⁽¹⁹⁾ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power ⁽²⁰⁾ which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ⁽²¹⁾ far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. ⁽²²⁾ And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

⁽²³⁾ which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Luke Chapter 19

⁽¹¹⁾ Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. ⁽¹²⁾ Therefore He said: 'A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. ⁽¹³⁾ So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.' ⁽¹⁴⁾ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man to reign over us.'

⁽¹⁵⁾ And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. ⁽¹⁶⁾ Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.' ⁽¹⁷⁾ And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.' ⁽¹⁸⁾ And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.'

⁽¹⁹⁾ Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over five cities.' ⁽²⁰⁾ Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. ⁽²¹⁾ For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.' ⁽²²⁾ And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

⁽²³⁾ Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?' ⁽²⁴⁾ And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.' ⁽²⁵⁾ ('But they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas.') ⁽²⁶⁾ For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

⁽²⁷⁾ But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.' '

Thanks be to God.


The Song of Moses       Exodus 15:1 to 6, 11 to 13, 17 to 18, Thursday

I will sing to the Lord, for he is lofty and uplifted;
the horse and its rider has he hurled into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and my refuge;
the Lord has become my Savior.
This is my God and I will praise him,
the God of my people and I will exalt him.
The Lord is a mighty warrior;
Yahweh is his Name.
The chariots of Pharoah and his army has he hurled into the sea;
the finest of those who bear armor have been drowned in the Red Sea.
The fathomless deep has overwhelmed them;
they sank into the depths like a stone.
Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in might;
your right hand, O Lord, has overthrown the enemy.
Who can be compared with you, O Lord, among the gods?
who is like you, glorious in holiness,
awesome in renown, and worker of wonders?
You stretched forth your right hand;
the earth swallowed them up.
With your constant love you led the people you redeemed;
with your might you brought them in safety to
your holy dwelling.
You will bring them in and plant them
on the mount of your possession,
The resting-place you have made for yourself, O Lord,
the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hand has established.
The Lord shall reign forever and forever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
  He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
  He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
  He descended to the dead.
  On the third day he rose again.
  He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
  He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
  the holy catholic Church,
  the communion of saints,
  the forgiveness of sins,
  the resurrection of the body,
  and the life everlasting. Amen.
