The Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service 1 

 

The counsels of God are permanent – impeccable exhortations from His mind, His will, His heart, and His actions in Christ.  Everything that proceeds from God’s wisdom is congruent.  Barren wombs are filled with offspring.  Desolate wastelands are restored.  God’s Word resurrects what once was decimated.  These astonishing interventions transform our lives so that we may unconditionally invest our sanctified bodies, minds and gifts all to the glory of God.   

 

 

Almighty God, whom to know is everlasting life, grant us to know Your Son, Jesus, to be the way, the truth, and the life that we may boldly confess Him to be the Christ and steadfastly walk in the way that leads to life eternal; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
