The Lord Jesus Brings Division on Earth for the Sake of Peace with God in
Heaven
False prophets preach what their hearers want to hear, promising peace
even when the Lord has spoken “war, famine, and pestilence” (Jer. 28:8).
But if “the LORD has truly sent the prophet,” he speaks what the Lord has
spoken, and “the word of that prophet comes to pass” (Jer. 28:9). The
preaching of God’s Law is hard, because it confronts sin, brings it to light
and makes it worse, “sinful beyond measure,” thereby “producing death”
in the sinner (Rom. 7:13). But through our Baptism into Christ, “we are
released from the law, having died to that which held us captive” (Rom.
7:6). Now we belong “to him who has been raised from the dead, in order
that we may bear fruit for God” (Rom. 7:4). Belonging to Him puts us at
odds with the world and divides us from all earthly ties, not only from our
human family, but each person from his own life. For Christ does not
come “to bring peace, but a sword” (Matt. 10:34). Yet, whoever takes up
his cross to follow Christ, and “loses his life” for Christ’s sake, finds new
life in Him (Matt. 10:38–39).

Invocation
The sign of the cross T may be made by all in remembrance of their
Baptism.
P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.
P Our help is in the name of the Lord,
C who made heaven and earth.
P If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared.
P Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer
and praise, and receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
in the fellowship of this altar, let us first consider our unworthiness
and confess before God and one another that we have sinned in
thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our
sinful condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the
infinite mercy of God, our heavenly Father, seeking His grace for the
sake of Christ, and saying: God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
C Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead
us to everlasting life. Amen.
P Almighty God, merciful Father, in Holy Baptism You declared us to be
Your children and gathered us into Your one, Holy Church, in which
You daily and richly forgive us our sins and grant us new life through
Your Spirit. Be in our midst, enliven our faith, and graciously receive
our prayer and praise; through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
C Amen.
Service of the Word The Introit Ps. 89:15–18; antiphon: Ps. 89:1 (ESV)
P I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever;
C with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all
generations.
P Blessèd are the people who know the festal shout,
C who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face,
P who exult in your name all the day
C and in your righteousness are exalted.
P For you are the glory of their strength;
C by your favor our horn is exalted.
3
P For our shield belongs to the LORD,
C our king to the Holy One of Israel.
C Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as
it was in the beginning is now, and will be forever. Amen.
P I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever;
C with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all
generations.

P Almighty God, by the working of Your Holy Spirit, grant that we may
gladly hear Your Word proclaimed among us and follow its directing;
through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with
You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C Amen.
The Old Testament Reading: Jeremiah 28:5–9 (ESV)
A: The Old Testament Reading for The Third Sunday After Pentecost is
from the 28th
chapter of the prophet Jeremiah.
5Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the
presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the
house of the LORD, 6and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD
do so; may the LORD make the words that you have prophesied come
true, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house
of the LORD, and all the exiles. 7Yet hear now this word that I speak in
your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. 8The prophets who
preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and
pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. 9As for the
prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to
pass, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet.”
A This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.
Epistle Reading: Romans 7:1–13 (ESV)
A The Epistle Reading is from the 7th
chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the
Romans.
1Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who
know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he
lives? 2Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he
lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. 3Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another
man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from
that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. 4Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the
body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been
raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5For while
we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were
at work in our members to bear fruit for death. 6But now we are released
5
from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve
not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit. 7What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it
had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. I would not have
known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in
me all kinds of covetousness. Apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9I was
once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin
came alive and I died. 10
The very commandment that promised life
proved to be death to me. 11
For sin, seizing an opportunity through the
commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. 12
So the law is
holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. 13
Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It
was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin
might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might
become sinful beyond measure.
A This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.
Alleluia and Verse
The Holy Gospel: Matthew 10:34–42 (ESV)
P The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew the 10h chapter.
C Glory to You, O Lord.
34[Jesus said:] “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the
earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
6
35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter
against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36
And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. 37
Whoever
loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever
loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38
And whoever
does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39
Whoever
finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 40
“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me
receives him who sent me. 41
The one who receives a prophet because he
is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a
righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a
righteous person’s reward. 42
And whoever gives one of these little ones
even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he
will by no means lose his reward.”
P This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C Praise to You, O Christ
The Apostles’ Creed
C 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.

Prayer of the Church
P Beloved in the Lord, let us draw near to the Lord’s throne of grace
and pray as He has commanded us, trusting in the Lord to hear the
prayers of His people and answer our petitions according to His
mercy.
P O most merciful God, Lord of heaven and earth, we pray You to so
rule and govern Your Church and all her pastors and ministers that
she may be preserved in the pure doctrine of Your saving Word,
defended against all adversity, and protected from all adversaries,
that thereby faith may be strengthened and love increased in us.
Lord, in your mercy,
C hear our prayer.
P Grant health, wisdom and integrity to all in authority over us,
especially to the president of the United States, the governor of this
state, the Congress, all legislative bodies, and all judges and
magistrates. Endow them with Your Spirit and with respect for Your
Word, that they would serve Your good pleasure for the maintenance
of righteousness and the punishment of wickedness so that we all
may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty.
According to Your gracious will, turn the hearts of our enemies and
make them to walk with us in humility and peace. Lord, in your
mercy,
C hear our prayer.
P Grant to those in trouble, want, sickness, anguish of labor, peril of
death or any other adversity the healthful Spirit of Your grace for
healing, strength, comfort and relief. Bless especially those who
suffer for the sake of Your name and Your Word. Hear us on behalf
of those we name in our hearts. Give them courage to stand firm in
their afflictions and patience until the day of Your deliverance. Lord,
in your mercy,
C hear our prayer.
P Preserve us from pestilence and every evil. Give to us favorable
weather and cause the fruits of the earth to prosper, that we may
enjoy them in due season and offer You praise and thanksgiving for
all Your goodness to us. Lend Your blessing to all honorable
vocations and honest industry, that we may serve where our skills
8
and abilities may be of good use. Bless the arts and music, that we
may please You and be encouraged by all that is good, right, true
and beautiful. Lord, in your mercy,
C hear our prayer.
P Give to all husbands and wives grace to live together in love and
faithfulness. Bless the homes and families of Your people, that they
may be places where Your name is honored and love is nurtured.
Give Your special grace to the widowed, the orphan, all mothers with
child, the aged and the infirm, that we may grant them comfort, aid
and protection. Lord, in your mercy,
C hear our prayer.
Special Intercessory Prayers - from pink colored insert...
P Lord, in your mercy,
C hear our prayer.
P All these things for which You would have us ask of You, we pray You
to grant to us for the sake of the bitter sufferings and death of Jesus
Christ, our Lord, through whom we are bold to call You Father and in
whose name we pray, trusting in Your mercy and confident that You
will give answer to our prayers; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
C Amen.
Service of the Sacrament Preface
P The Lord be with you.
C And also with you.
P Lift up your hearts.
C We lift them to the Lord.
P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
C It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in
all places give thanks to You, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting
God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who on this day overcame death
and the grave and by His glorious resurrection opened to us the way
of everlasting life. Therefore with angels and archangels and with all
the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name,
evermore praising You and saying:
9
Sanctus
Prayer of Thanksgiving
P Blessed are You, O Lord our God, king of all creation, for You have
had mercy on us and given Your only-begotten Son that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
In Your righteous judgment You condemned the sin of Adam and
Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, and You justly barred them and all
their children from the tree of life. Yet, in Your great mercy, You
promised salvation by a second Adam, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our
Lord, and made His cross a life-giving tree for all who trust in Him.
We give You thanks for the redemption You have prepared for us
through Jesus Christ. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may faithfully
eat and drink of the fruits of His cross and receive the blessings of
forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in His body and
blood.
Hear us as we pray in His name and as He has taught us:
The Lord’s Prayer
C 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.
10
The Words of Our Lord
P Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took
bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the
disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My T body, which is given for
you. This do in remembrance of Me.”
P In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had
given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this
cup is the new testament in My T blood, which is shed for you for
the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of Me.”
Pax Domini
P The peace of the Lord be with you always.
C Amen.
Agnus Dei
Distribution of Christ’s Body and Blood
In the Sacrament of the Altar, we receive the real, genuine body and blood of Jesus Christ, which hung on the cross and flowed from his veins. Participation in The Sacrament limited to those who are active members in good standing in a congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod or who have spoken personally to the pastor.
Scripture teaches that those who receive the Sacrament of the Altar should be fully repentant of all sin in their lives. Anyone who
11
receives the Sacrament without repentance eats and drinks Christ’s body and blood to their harm. If you are not fully repentant, we ask that you refrain from receiving the Sacrament and speak with the Pastor.

“[T]the family is universal. Individuals meeting from different cultures
do not have to explain to each other what a family is. The family lies at
the quantum level of human society. Family life is deeply rooted in an
area of mystery we do not fully understand. Like a tree, it is living,
rooted, and nourished by the soil of the past and reaching up into the
future. It is not manufactured. Although socially reinforced, it is not
‘socially constructed.’ It is a precious Gift.” James M. Kushiner, The
Fellowship of St. James – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life •
