Bible Reading

My children, I write these things to you so that you will not sin. If anyone does sin, we have an Advocate before the Father: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the whole world. (1 John 2:1-2 EHV)

Hymn ELH 403:1-2 God Loved the World So that He Gave

God loved the world so that He gave
His only Son the lost to save,
That all who would in Him believe
Should everlasting life receive.

Christ Jesus is the Ground of faith,
Who was made flesh and suffered death;
All then who trust in Him alone
Are built on this chief Cornerstone.

Prayer

Jesus, my Savior, You died to pay for my sins and the sins of all. Strengthen my faith, help me to repent of my sins and to take hold of the forgiveness You earned for me. Amen.

Bible Reading

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly cannot take anything out. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied. (1 Timothy 6:6-8 EHV)

Hymn ELH 446:4,8 What Is the World to Me

The world seeks after wealth
And all that Mammon offers,
Yet never is content
Though gold should fill its coffers.
I have a higher good,
Content with it I’ll be:
My Jesus is my Wealth.
What is the world to me!

What is the world to me!
My Jesus is my Treasure,
My Life, my Health, my Wealth,
My Friend, my Love, my Pleasure,
My Joy, my Crown, my All,
My Bliss eternally.
Once more, then, I declare:
What is the world to me!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me all that I need to live each day. Give me a thankful heart and help me to be content with whatever You provide for me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading

Therefore rid yourselves of all evil, all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all slander. Like newborn babies, crave the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow up with the result being salvation. Certainly you have tasted that the Lord is good! As you come to him, the Living Stone, rejected by men but chosen by God and precious, you also, like living stones, are being built as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, in order to bring spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:1-5 EHV)

Hymn ELH 484: 1 Christ Alone is Our Salvation

Christ alone is our salvation,
Christ the rock on which we stand;
Other than this sure foundation
Will be found but sinking sand.
Christ, His cross and resurrection,
Is alone the sinner’s plea;
At the throne of God’s perfection
Nothing else can set him free.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to crave the spiritual nourishment of Your Word. Through that Word, help me to grow in my faith. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading

A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord makes his steps secure. (Proverbs 16:9 EHV)

Hymn ELH 441:2-3 O that the Lord Would Guide My Ways

Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.

Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e’er forget Thy way,
Restore Thy wand’ring sheep.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, guide me even when I do not understand the way You have chosen for me. Give me peace in knowing that You are in control of all things. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all those who are in authority, in order that we might live a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4 EHV)

Hymn ELH 384 Our Father, Throned in Heaven Above

Our Father, throned in heav’n above,
All glory to Thy name of love.
Thy Kingdom come; Thy holy will
May earth as well as heav’n fulfill.

Give us this day our daily food
With all we need of promised good;
And freely all our sins remit
As we our debtors freely quit.

Defend us from the tempter’s ways,
Uphold when tried, when fallen raise:
For pow’r is Thine, and boundless reign,
In glory evermore, Amen.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray that Your Word may freely be brought to all people, that many more may be saved. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading

Yes, Jews ask for signs, Greeks desire wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified—which is offensive to Jews and foolishness to Greeks, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. We preach Christ crucified, because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (1 Corinthians 1:22-25 EHV)

Hymn ELH 523:1-2 In the Cross of Christ I Glory

In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o’er the wrecks of time.
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.

When the woes of life overtake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo, it glows with peace and joy.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wisdom in sending Your only-begotten Son to be my Savior. Strengthen my faith in Jesus and give me wisdom to overcome all trials in my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, the one who is, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8 EHV)

Hymn ELH 43:1,2,4 Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

Holy God, we praise Thy name;
Lord of all, we bow before Thee.
All on earth Thy scepter claim,
All in heaven above adore Thee.
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.

Hark! the glad celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and seraphim,
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
“Holy, holy, holy Lord!”

Holy Father, holy Son,
Holy Spirit, three we name Thee;
Though in essence only one;
Undivided God we claim Thee
And, adoring, bend the knee
While we own the mystery.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You rule over all things. Grant me what I need to live and teach me to trust in You for all things. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading

This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24 EHV)

Hymn ELH 3 Come, Let Us with Our Lord Arise

Come, let us with our Lord arise,
Our Lord, who made both earth and skies,
Who died to save the world He made,
And rose triumphant from the dead;
He rose, the Prince of life and peace,
And stamped this day forever His.

This is the day the Lord hath made,
That all may see his pow’r displayed,
And know His resurrection’s pow’r,
To rise by grace and fall no more,
By His own righteousness renewed
And filled with all the life of God.

Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me safely to this new day. Help me in all that I do today. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading

This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you builders, which has become the cornerstone. “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:11-12 EHV)

Hymn ELH 389:1,7 A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing

A hymn of glory let us sing!
New songs throughout the world shall ring:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ, by a road before untrod,
Ascendeth to the throne of God.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to Thee let earth accord,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Who art, while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit One.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Prayer

Jesus, my Savior, thank You for enduring rejection, judgment and death to save me. Amen.

Bible Reading

Consider this: How blessed is the man whom God corrects! Do not reject the discipline of the Almighty! (Job 5:17 EHV)

Hymn ELH 519:1,5 What God Ordains Is Always Good

What God ordains is always good:
His will abideth holy.
As He directs my life for me,
I follow meek and lowly.
My God indeed In every need
Doth well know how to shield me;
To Him, then, I will yield me.

What God ordains is always good:
Though I the cup am drinking
Which savors now of bitterness,
I take it without shrinking.
For after grief God grants relief,
My heart with comfort filling
And all my sorrow stilling.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to learn from Your correction and find joy even in the hardships of this life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
