The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service One
The Lord of hosts is the indisputable Redeemer – there is no other! All creation awaits the revelation of the sons of God, who by grace become God’s adopted heirs. We are the redeemed, the hope-filled, the ones for whom the Spirit cries out that our weaknesses may not devastate, suffocate, or strangle us. In Christ, we are forgiven and known as the children of His kingdom, because we hear His Word and believe!
Readings:
Collect of the Day:
Almighty and everlasting God, give us an increase of faith, hope, and love, that, receiving what You have promised, we may love what You have commanded; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
