The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost-Divine Service     

The Scriptures record mandates of the Lord God.  He regulates heaven and earth with His statutes, which flawlessly affirm, nourish, and sustain Godly interactions between men and God.  Above all, we are to love the Lord God with heart, soul, strength, and mind, and our neighbors as ourselves.  In the torrent of sin, we fail to think, act, or love justly.  We are absorbed in disobedience, passion, and apathy for our neighbor.  But to this domain of darkness, Jesus delivers the forgiveness of sins.     

 

Leviticus 18:1-5; 19:9-18  

Colossians 1:1-14   

Luke 10:25-37

 

Lord Jesus Christ, in Your deep compassion You rescue us from whatever may hurt us. Teach us to love You above all things and to love our neighbors as ourselves; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
