The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service 1

 

Before God, men, women, and children plead incessantly for justice in the face of rebellion and adversity.  Those who know and confess Jesus bear the weight of guilt and need His Word of undeserved acquittal.  God’s word is the solitary source of that promise.  It teaches, corrects, declares righteousness, and equips us for every good work.  Scripture, in its entirety, is that living, breathing, vibrant account of God continually striving by the side of His chosen people – delivering them from sin.    

 

Genesis 32:22-30

2 Timothy 3:14-4:5

Luke 18:1-8

 

O Lord, almighty and everlasting God, You have commanded us to pray and have promised to hear us. Mercifully grant that Your Holy Spirit may direct and govern our hearts in all things that we may persevere with steadfast faith in the confession of Your name; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
