Introduction
Conflict is a part of relationships and life in community. Jesus’ words in today's gospel are often used in situations having to do with church discipline. The prophet Ezekiel tells of warning the wicked to turn from their ways, and Paul reminds us that love is the fulfilling of the law. We gather in the name of Christ, assured that he is present among us with gifts of peace and reconciliation.

Prayer of the Day
O Lord God, enliven and preserve your church with your perpetual mercy. Without your help, we mortals will fail; remove far from us everything that is harmful, and lead us toward all that gives life and salvation, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen.

Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia. In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. Alleluia. (2 Cor. 5:19)

Readings and Psalm
Ezekiel 33:7-11
The prophet’s responsibility to warn the people
Psalm 119:33-40
I desire the path of your commandments. (Ps. 119:35)

Introduction
The prophet Jeremiah speaks of the incurable wound of his suffering yet finds in God’s words the delight of his heart. When Peter doesn’t grasp Jesus’ words about suffering, Jesus tells the disciples they will find their lives in losing them. Such sacrificial love is described by Paul when he urges us to associate with the lowly and not repay evil with evil. In worship we gather as a community that we might offer ourselves for the sake of our suffering world.

Prayer of the Day
O God, we thank you for your Son, who chose the path of suffering for the sake of the world. Humble us by his example, point us to the path of obedience, and give us strength to follow your commands, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen.

Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia. May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our hearts, so that we may know the hope to which God has called us. Alleluia. (Eph. 1:17, 18)

Readings and Psalm
Jeremiah 15:15-21
God fortifies the prophet against opposition
Psalm 26:1-8
Your love is before my eyes; I have walked faithfully with you. (Ps. 26:3)
Romans 12:9-21
Live in harmony
Matthew 16:21-28
The passion prediction and rebuke to Peter
