SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nTENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 13\n(6 August 2023)\n\nIsaiah 55:1–5\nRomans 9:1–5 (6–13)\nMatthew 14:13–21\n\nChrist Jesus\, the Living Bread from Heaven\, Feeds the Children of God\n\nBy the Gospel of “the Christ\, who is God over all\, blessed forever” (Rom. 9:5)\, we are “the children of God” (Rom. 9:8)\, “not because of works but because of him who calls” (Rom. 9:11). Therefore\, “listen diligently” and “hear\, that your soul may live.” By His sacrificial death in His flesh and blood\, He has made “an everlasting covenant” for us. Since He now calls us to Himself\, we come to Him “and eat what is good\, and delight … in rich food” (Is. 55:2–3). He has come with divine compassion to save us from sin and death and to feed us with Himself. As our Lord Jesus once took bread\, “said a blessing\,” broke the loaves\, “and gave them to the disciples\, and the disciples gave them to the crowds” (Matt. 14:18–19)\, He also now takes bread\, blesses it by His Word to be His very body\, and distributes it to His Church by the hand of His called and ordained servants. Just as “they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces\,” there is more than enough for His whole Church to eat and to be satisfied (Matt. 14:20).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 14\n(13 August 2023)\n\nJob 38:4–18\nRomans 10:5–17\nMatthew 14:22–33\n\nChrist the Crucified Comes to Save Us by the Word of Faith\n\nThe Lord who “laid the foundation of the earth” (Job 38:4) is the Author and Giver of life who governs all things by His Word. His wisdom and power are beyond our understanding\, except as He reveals Himself in the incarnate Word\, Christ Jesus. He has “entered into the springs of the sea” and “walked in the recesses of the deep” (Job 38:16)\, and He draws near to us in mercy. We have been “a long way from the land\, beaten by the waves” and tossed about by hostile winds (Matt. 14:24). In our mortality and sinful unbelief\, we do not always recognize the Lord Jesus. But as we cry out in fear\, He speaks tenderly to us\, “Do not be afraid\,” and He reaches out His hand to save us (Matt. 14:27\, 31). “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13)\, and now we call upon Him in faith\, because we have heard “through the word of Christ” (Rom. 10:17). “The word is near you\, in your mouth and in your heart” (Rom. 10:8).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nTWELFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 15\n(20 August 2023)\n\nIsaiah 56:1\, 6–8\nRomans 11:1–2a\, 13–15\, 28–32\nMatthew 15:21–28\n\nThe Church Lives Under the Cross of Christ and Prays in the Hope of His Mercy\n\nBy her persistent prayer that Jesus would have mercy and help her (Matt. 15:22\, 24)\, and even in the face of His initial silence and apparent rejection (Matt. 15:23–26)\, the Canaanite woman boldly confessed her faith in Him (Matt. 15:27–28). Her beautiful example encourages us to cling to the words and promises of the Gospel\, even in the face of the Law that accuses and condemns us. “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Rom. 11:29)\, and His Law “has consigned all to disobedience” for the very purpose “that he may have mercy on all” (Rom. 11:32). Hence\, the woman’s faith and hope were not disappointed\, but her prayers were answered in the mercy of Christ. Not only does He grant us the crumbs from His table\, but He also feeds us with “the children’s bread” in the house of His Father (Matt. 15:26–27). He has brought us to His “holy mountain\,” and He makes us joyful in His house\, where He hears our prayers and accepts our sacrifice of praise upon the altar of His cross (Is. 56:7).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nTHIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 16\n(27 August 2023)\n\nIsaiah 51:1–6\nRomans 11:33—12:8\nMatthew 16:13–20\n\nThe Lord Jesus Christ Is the Son of the Living God\n\nJesus asked His disciples: “But who do you say that I am?” (Matt. 16:15). The question is also put to us: Who do you say that He is? Flesh and blood do not reveal this to us\, but by the ministry of the Gospel\, the Father in heaven reveals His Son to us on earth\, who has become flesh and suffered death for our salvation. Thus\, we believe and confess that He is “the Christ\, the Son of the living God” (Matt. 16:16). As He died for our transgressions and was raised for our justification\, He looses us from all our sins and preserves our life within His Church\, against which even “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Matt. 16:18–19). His salvation is forever\, and His righteousness “will never be dismayed” (Is. 51:6). He comforts us with the Gospel in His Church\, so that “joy and gladness will be found in her\, thanksgiving and the voice of song” (Is. 51:3). Therefore\, “according to the measure of faith that God has assigned” (Rom. 12:3)\, we also offer ourselves “as a living sacrifice\, holy and acceptable to God” (Rom. 12:1) through Jesus Christ\, our Lord.\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship
