SUNDAY’S DIVINE SERVICE—COME TO
THE FEAST
The Holy Spirit sounds forth the Gospel call: “See,
I have prepared my dinner …Come to the wedding” (Matt 22:1–14). But many reject
this invitation in favor of worldly pursuits. And so the call goes out to
others, both the good and the bad. For the wedding invitation is not based on
the qualifications of those invited but on the basis of the merits and work of
Christ. The feast is free: “You who have no money, come, buy and eat … Let your
soul delight itself in abundance” (Is 55:1–9). Those rejecting the Spirit’s
work shall experience God’s wrath and judgment. Those who are not clothed in
Christ’s righteousness shall be cast into outer darkness where there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. Let us therefore seek the Lord while He may be
found, for He will have mercy upon us. Let us redeem the time, being filled
with the Spirit, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 5:15– 21). — Lutheran Service Book Notes
WE GATHER TO HEAR GOD'S WORD—“If anyone loves Me, he will keep
My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home
with him.” (John 14:23). Each week the faithful
gather to receive the Word of their Lord. Ongoing catechesis— passing on the
Lord's Word by which faith lives—is the way of life for all the baptized.

LUTHERAN HOUR "You've Got To Be Kidding"
Speaker Emeritus of The Lutheran Hour: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus
Christians respond to God's grace by putting Jesus first in their lives. But do they? (Mark 10:23-31)

Thought:
“I can’t afford a baby right now” can be
a very real and heartfelt cry for someone in a crisis pregnancy. But, used as
an excuse for abortion, it becomes idolatry. The Bible never condemns wealth,
but loving and trusting it more than God is “a grievous evil I have seen under
the sun” (Ecclesiastes 5:13a). He who afflicted His Son on our behalf, will not
abandon us in our afflictions.Life Quote: “God created human life. He, therefore, gets to set the rules. And no matter how many times man redefines human life, God’s truth doesn’t change. The Bible should be the foundation for our thinking in every area.” Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell, Answers in Genesis – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life

REFORMATION
Revelation 14:6–7, Romans
3:19–28,
John 8:31–36, Matthew
11:12–19
The
Son of God Has Set Us Free from Sin and Death by His Grace
“Wisdom is justified by her
deeds” (Matthew
11:19), and the true Wisdom of God, Christ Jesus the incarnate Son, justifies
us by His deeds. He prepares His way by the preaching of repentance, but He has
suffered the violence of the Law and voluntarily handed Himself over to violent
men, that we might eat and drink with Him in His Kingdom and “remain in the house forever” (John
8:35). For He is “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Matthew 11:19), and He
has rescued us by His grace from the slavery of sin and death. By the
proclamation of His eternal Gospel “to
those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people”
(Revelation 14:6), “the righteousness of
God has been manifested apart from the law” (Romans 3:21), “that He might be just and the justifier of
the one who has faith in Jesus” (Romans 3:26). And by hearing the Gospel of
Christ Jesus, “whom God put forward as a
propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith” (Romans 3:25), “you will know the truth, and the truth will
set you free” (John 8:31–32).
Shipp Endowment
