Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service One

 

These final days are mingled with destruction and redemption.  Intense fire will reduce the evil and arrogant to ash.  Christ’s righteousness will delight and heal those who fear God’s name.  As we live out these final days, we dare not be idle, but rather labor diligently, imitating the very nature of Christ.  Wars will rage; calamities will increase; disease will plague mankind.  In the midst of all this, we proclaim truth:  the day of redemption draws near.   

 

 

O Lord, almighty and ever-living God, You have given exceedingly great and precious promises to those who trust in You. Rule and govern our hearts and minds by Your Holy Spirit that we may live and abide forever in Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
