Reformation Day (Observed) – Divine Service

 

The Law leaves us speechless, for it condemns us and holds us accountable to God.  By the Law, every sin is unmasked, every sinner declared guilty.  In Christ, by His blood, we receive faith.  This faith justifies us apart from the works of the law.  Thanks be to God that Christ gives us this Gospel.  By it, sin is forgiven and sinners declared innocent.  This is our freedom in Christ proclaimed throughout every nation, tribe, language, and people.

 

 

Almighty and gracious Lord, pour out Your Holy Spirit on Your faithful people. Keep us steadfast in Your grace and truth, protect and deliver us in times of temptation, defend us against all enemies, and grant to Your Church Your saving peace; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
