The Ninth Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service 1
 
The people of God are treasured possessions, chosen and loved for all eternity.  God’s divine, amazing grace embraces the predestined, the justified, the glorified.  God’s divine deliverance rescues from tribulation, persecution, danger, and death.  Anything that would separate us from the love of God in Christ is rendered completely powerless!  God’s people, made righteous by Him, will live forever as citizens in the kingdom of heaven.     
 
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.
