The Seventh Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service 1

 

God nourishes the whole earth with refreshing water, yielding a bountiful harvest.  His Word does the same – nourishing faith, refreshing souls, and increasing joy.  We dare not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit, who magnifies and sheds all kinds of God’s  goodness upon us and makes us heirs of an incomparable wealth in the Gospel of Christ, recipients of His life-giving Word, and inheritors of the everlasting kingdom of God.

 

 

Blessed Lord, since You have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning, grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
