Confession and Absolution
V: Individually, lets confess our sins to God our Heavenly Father.
Silent confession of your sins
V: Together, we confess our sins…
C: Heavenly Father, You have heard our private confessions, now hear us as we pray together. We have sinned against You and each other in so many ways. For the sake of Jesus who took our punishment, forgive us, and change us, so we follow Your will in our lives.
V: Through His Son Jesus Christ, God has extended His steadfast love to us, that while we are still sinners, Christ died for us! Receive “the free gift of grace” given by “that one man, Jesus Christ”. Your sins are forgiven, in the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
Old Testament Reading Exodus 19:2-8
They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain, while Moses went up to God. The Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”
So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him. All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
V: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
Epistle Reading Romans 5:6-15
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person - though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die - but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.
V: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
Holy Gospel Matthew 9:35 – 10:13
V: The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, the 9th & 10th chapters.
C: Glory to You, O Lord.
And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
And He called to Him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.
As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
V: This is the Word of the Lord.
C: Praise to You, O Christ.
Sermon
The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Prayers of the Church
V: Let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
The Sacrament of the Altar
V: The Lord be with you.
C: and also with you.
V: Lift up your hearts!
C: we lift them to the Lord!
V: Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.
C: it is right to give Him thanks and praise.
V: Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, the perfect Lamb, to take away our sins all the sin of the whole world. Prepare us now, to eat His body and drink His blood faithfully, and to receive Your gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation. Keep us in true faith until You return in glory on the last day.
C: Amen
Words of Institution
V: Hear now the words of our Lord…
V: As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
C: Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.
V: O Lord Jesus Christ, remember us in Your kingdom and teach us to pray:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
V: The peace of the Lord be with you always.
C: Amen.
