Hymn:
378 All Mankind Fell in Adam’s Fall
1
All
mankind fell in Adam’s fall;
One
common sin infects us all.
From
one to all the curse descends,
And
over all God’s wrath impends.
2
Through
all our pow’rs corruption creeps
And
us in dreadful bondage keeps;
In
guilt we draw our infant breath
And
reap its fruits of woe and death.
3
From
hearts depraved, to evil prone,
Flow
thoughts and deeds of sin alone;
God’s
image lost, the darkened soul
Nor
seeks nor finds its heav’nly goal.
4
But
Christ, the second Adam, came
To
bear our sin and woe and shame,
To
be our life, our light, our way,
Our
only hope, our only stay.
5
As
by one man all mankind fell
And,
born in sin, was doomed to hell,
So by one Man, who took our place,
We
all were justified by grace.
6
We
thank you, Christ; new life is ours,
New
light, new hope, new strength, new pow’rs;
This
grace our ev’ry way attend
Until
we reach our journey’s end.

Confession and
Absolution
(p. 3)
P: Dear friends, let us approach God with
a true heart and confess our sins, asking him in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ to forgive us.
Stanza 1
O
Jesus, Lamb of God, you are
My
comfort and my guiding star;
I
come, a sinner, trustingly
And
bring my many sins with me.
C: O Lord, do not rebuke me in your
anger or discipline me in your wrath. My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden
too heavy to bear. I am bowed down and
brought very low; I groan in anguish of heart. I confess my iniquity; I am
troubled by my sin. O Lord, do not forsake me; be not
far from me. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior. (selected verses
from Psalm 38)
Stanza 2
O
Lord, my sin indeed is great;
I
groan beneath the dreadful weight.
Be
merciful to me I pray;
Take
guilt and punishment away.
SILENT CONFESSION
Stanza 3
Saint
John the Baptist points to you
And
bids me cast my sin on you,
For
you have left your throne on high
To
suffer for the world and die.
P: Because of his great love for us, God,
who is rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ even when we were dead in
transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved. In Jesus you have
redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the
riches of God’s grace. (Ephesians 2:4-5 & 1:7)
C: We have been brought from death to
life. Sin shall not be our master, because we are not under law, but under
grace. (Romans 6:13-14)
Stanza 4
Help
me to change my ways, O Lord,
And
gladly to obey your Word.
While
here I live, abide with me,
Then
take me home eternally.
Psalm 63 (p. 6)

Lessons
First Lesson Genesis
3:8-15
God calls Adam and
Eve to account for their sin.
8They heard the
voice of the Lord God, who was
walking around in the garden during the cooler part of the day, and the man and
his wife hid themselves from the presence of the
Lord God among the trees of the
garden.
9The Lord God called to the man and said to
him, “Where are you?”
10The man said, “I
heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid
myself.”
11God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the
tree from which I commanded you not to eat?”
12The man said, “The
woman you gave to be with me—she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13The Lord God said to the woman, “What have
you done?”
The woman said,
“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14The Lord God said to the serpent:
Because you have done this,
you are cursed more than all the
livestock,
and more than every wild animal.
You shall crawl on your belly,
and you shall eat dust all the days of
your life.
15I will put
hostility between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her seed.
He will crush your head,
and you will crush his heel.
Second Lesson 2
Corinthians 4:13-18
Though life is
filled with hardships, we have the victory. Jesus Christ has guaranteed it!
13Since we have that
same spirit of faith, which corresponds to what is written: “I believed;
therefore, I have spoken,” we also believe, and therefore we speak. 14For
we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus
and bring us (together with you) into his presence. 15In fact, all
this is for your benefit, so that as grace increases, it will overflow to the
glory of God, as more and more people give thanks.
16Therefore
we are not discouraged. But even if our outer self is wasting away, yet our
inner self is being renewed day by day. 17Yes, our momentary, light
trouble produces for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond any
comparison. 18We are not focusing on what is seen, but on what is
not seen. For the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are
not seen are eternal.
Gospel
Lesson Mark 3:20-35
Jesus wins victories over the demons by his divine
power.
20They
went into a house. A crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to
eat a meal. 21When his own people heard this, they went out to take
control of him, because they were saying, “He is out of his mind.”
22The experts in the
law who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “He drives out demons by the ruler of
demons.”
23Jesus called them
together and spoke to them in parables. “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24If
a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And
if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And
if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided,
he cannot stand but is finished. 27On the other hand, no one can
enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he ties up the
strong man first. Then he can plunder his house. 28Amen I tell you:
Everything will be forgiven people, their sins and
whatever blasphemies they may speak. 29But whoever blasphemes
against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but
is guilty of an eternal sin.” 30Jesus said this because they were
saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31Then his mother
and his brothers arrived. While they were standing outside, they sent word to
Jesus, calling for him. 32A crowd was sitting around him. They began
to tell him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.”
33He replied, “Who
are my mother and my brothers?” 34He looked at those who sat around
him in a circle and he said, “Look, my mother and my
brothers! 35For whoever does the will of God is my brother and
sister and mother.”
Seasonal Response
P: Give thanks to the
Lord; call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Hymn of the Day: 596
Let Me Be Yours Forever
1
Let
me be yours forever, My faithful God and Lord;
Let
me forsake you never Nor wander from your Word.
Lord,
do not let me waver But give me steadfastness,
And
for such grace and favor Your holy name I’ll bless.
2
Lord
Jesus, my salvation, My light, my life divine,
My
only consolation, To you I all resign,
For
you have dearly bought me With blood and bitter pain.
Let
me, since you have sought me, Eternal life obtain.
3 O gracious Holy
Spirit, My comforter and guide,
Grant
that in Jesus’ merit I always may confide,
Him
to the end confessing Whom I have known by faith.
Give
me your constant blessing And grant a Christian death.

Prayer of the Church
Hymn
196 Lord God,
to You We All Give Praise
1
Lord
God, to you we all give praise; To you our joyful hymns we raise
That
angel hosts you did create Around your glorious throne to wait.
2
They
shine with light and heav’nly grace And constantly
behold your face.
They
heed your voice; they know it well; In godly wisdom they excel.
3
They
never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be
With
you, Lord Jesus, and to keep Your little flock, your lambs
and sheep.
4
The
ancient dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know.
So
now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and church
and state.
5
But
watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on ev’ry
hand
To
guard his people where they go And break the counsel
of the foe.
6 O Lord, awaken
songs of praise For angel hosts that guard our days;
Teach
us to serve you and adore As angels do forevermore.

Closing
Hymn: Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You
1
Rise!
To arms! With prayer employ you,
O
Christians, lest the foe destroy you,
For
Satan has designed your fall.
Wield
God’s Word, a weapon glorious;
Against
each foe you’ll be victorious;
Our
God will set you o’er them all.
Fear
not the prince of hell-
Here
is Immanuel! Sing hosanna!
The
strong ones yield To Christ, our shield,
And
we as conqu’rors hold the field.
2
Jesus,
all your children cherish,
And
keep them that they never perish
Whom
you have purchased with your blood.
Let
new life to us be given
That
we may look to you in heaven
Whenever
fearful is our mood.
Your
Spirit on us pour
That
we may love you more,
Hearts
o’erflowing; And then shall we,
From
sin set free, Sing praise through all eternity.
