The Tenth Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service One
 
The Lord’s Word quenches thirst, satisfies hunger, and conveys an everlasting covenant between God and his people.  Israel is the rightful nation to receive God’s adoption, glory, covenant, worship, and promise.  But their lineage is no guarantee!  Only those who believe the promise of Jesus are claimed by Him.  So also every man, woman, and child who hears His Word is completely satisfied with the truth, righteousness, and compassion of Christ.

Collect of the Day:
Heavenly Father, though we do not deserve Your goodness, still You provide for all our needs of body and soul.
