resurrection-lcms.org See All the People Matthew 9:35-10:8 - June 14, 2020 - Sunday Morning Worship Schedule 10:00 am– Streaming Service WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? This morning we’re looking beyond the walls. What do you see next door to the church? Next door to the parsonage? Next door to all of you as members? Who are the people around us? Do they all look like us? Do they all live like us? With all the events going on around us, how are we seeing people? As Christians we need to ask, “How does Jesus see people in Matthew 9:35-10:8 and how can that inform our eyes and actions today?” So thanks for joining us and having our Lord open our eyes! Holy Communion: If you would like to commune with us this morning, please read the Holy Communion statement in the friendship booklet. We encourage not only our members to celebrate together this gift from God, but also those visiting from sister congregations and those who share our confession regarding Holy Communion. If you have any questions, please speak with an elder or pastor. June 14, 2020 10:00 am Service PRELUDE Fantasia on “Austrian Hymn” – arr. David Paxton “We Are All One In Mission” Tune: Aurelia WELCOME/ANNOUNCEMENTS OPENING HYMN “O Day of Rest and Gladness” LSB 906 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; This day the high and lowly, Through ages joined to bless, Sing, “Holy, holy, holy,” The triune God confess. This day at earth’s creation The light first had its birth; This day for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; This day our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heav’n, And thus this day most glorious A three-fold light was giv’n. This day, God’s people meeting, His Holy Scripture hear; His living presence greeting, Through bread and wine made near. We journey on, believing, Renewed with heav’nly might, From grace more grace receiving, On this blest day of light. That light our hope sustaining, We walk the pilgrim way, At length our rest attaining, Our endless Sabbath day. We sing to Thee our praises, O Father, Spirit, Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. INVOCATION & OPENING PRAYER P: We worship in the name of the Father, Son, + and Holy Spirit. C: Amen. P: Out of deep need, we enter Your holy temple, O Lord, seeking Your presence and Your guidance. As Jesus charged His waiting disciples, deliver now Your charge to us. And lead us, as He led them, into the fields white unto harvest, that we may become faithful laborers in Your vineyard to open our eyes and see all people as You do. C: Amen. SCRIPTURES & APOSTLES’ CREED First Reading: Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19 L: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Second Reading: Romans 5:1-8 L: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. REFLECTIVE HYMN “We Are Called to Be God’s People” TCH 415 We are called to be God’s people, Showing by our lives His grace, One in heart and one in spirit, Sign of hope for all the race. Let us show how He has changed us And remade us as His own; Let us share our life together As we shall around His throne. We are called to be God’s servants, Working in His world today; Taking His own task upon us, All His sacred words obey. Let us rise, then, to His summons, Dedicate to Him our all, That we may be faithful servants, Quick to answer now His call. We are called to be God’s prophets, Speaking for the truth and right; Standing firm for godly justice, Bringing evil into light. Let us seek the courage needed, Our high calling to fulfill, That we all may know the blessing Of the doing of God’s will. GOSPEL READING Gospel Reading: Matthew 9:35-10:8 L: This is the Gospel of our Lord. C: Praise to You, O Christ. ORDER OF CONFESSION & FORGIVENESS P: Triune God, C: We praise You as the God of love and life. Though Jesus prayed that we would be one, we confess that we fail to live in unity with each other and with You. We break our communion through hostile words and unkind actions. We long for Your Spirit to heal us and to correct us. We long for You to help us experience communion with You and with each other. Please forgive us when our sin has caused disunity between us and You and disunity with others. Even now, dependent on Your grace, we commit ourselves to live more fully in the unity You desire that we may see all people as You do. (Silence for Confession and Self-Examination) P: The Good News this morning is that God still sees us as His beloved children. He sees our failure, but He has also heard our confession and chooses mercy. You are forgiven all your sins in the name of the Father, Son + and Holy Spirit! C: Amen.

And with compassion for the hurting, You reached out Your hand As the lame ran to meet You And the dead breathed again; You saw behind the eyes of sorrow And shared in our tears, Heard the sigh of the weary, Let the children draw near. Chorus What boundless love, What fathomless grace You have shown us, O God of compassion! Each day we live an offering of praise As we show to the world Your compassion. We stood beneath the cross of Calvary And gazed on Your face At the thorns of oppression And the wounds of disgrace, For surely You have borne our suffering And carried our grief As You pardoned the scoffer And showed grace to the thief. Chorus How beautiful the feet that carry This gospel of peace To the fields of injustice And the valleys of need— To be a voice of hope and healing, To answer the cries Of the hungry and helpless With the mercy of Christ. Chorus “Follow You” You live among the least of these The weary and the weak And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away All my needs you have supplied. When I was dead you gave me life. How could I not give it away so freely? Continued on next page Chorus And I’ll Follow you into the homes of are broken Follow you into the world Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God Follow you into the world Use my hands, use my feet To make your kingdom come To the corners of the earth Until your work is done ‘Cause faith without works is dead And on the cross your blood was shed So how could we not give it away so freely? Chorus 2x Bridge I give all myself I give all myself I give all myself to you And I give all myself And I give all myself And I give all myself to you Chorus 2x RESPONSIVE PRAYER P: Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus and for all people according to their needs.
