Sixth Sunday of Easter

9:00 am Worship

God’s Word

Acts 10:34-48 God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation.

Psalm 98 “The LORD has made known His salvation; He has revealed His righteousness.”

1 John 5:1-8 “This is the victory that has overcome the world.”

John 15:9-17 If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love.

Collect of the Day

Lord God, give us comprehension as the elect in Christ by giving us the ability to understand, by giving us that which you desire for us to understand, and by shaping us in our understanding. Give us comprehension as the Body of Christ; may shared understanding unify your Church in the one true faith and may our broad understanding unify your Church in love by the power of the Holy Spirit. Give us a believing comprehension of our salvation and of our eternal life that comes through the forgiveness of our sins. Amen.

Theme

We continue our sermon series on “The Acts of a Church Reimagined” by looking at “Acts of Comprehension” in our text (Acts 10:34-48). Comprehension comes in many forms and in many ways: We can do it, be given it, and be capable of it. It inclusively unites us in truth and in love; and, it forms the foundation of our identity in Christ. Today’s message will be a “comprehensive” look at Acts of Comprehension!

Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.

Martin Luther’s Evening Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have graciously kept me this day; and I pray that You would forgive me all my sins where I have done wrong, and graciously keep me this night. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
