O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands : serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song. Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves : we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise : be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name. For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting : and his truth endureth from generation to generation. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen. - Reading: Galatians 3:15-22 View
Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,”[a] meaning one person, who is Christ. What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one. Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. - Choir Responsory: I shall not die, but live - M. Luther
Non moriar sed vivam et narrabo opera domini. Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will go through them And I will praise the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter. I will praise You, for You have answered me, And have become My salvation. The Stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing It is marvelous in our eyes. - Reading: Luke 10:21-24 View
At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” - Hymn 211 - Built On the Rock the Church Doth Stand View

1. Author unknown, 1607; 2. K.Stolshagen, 1550-94 All those who trust in Christ are blest And find in Him eternal rest; This world's allurements we despise And fix on Christ alone our eyes. Through Him we heirs of heav'n are made; O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid That we may firmly trust in Thee, And through Thee live eternally. O Christ, our Savior, Helper Friend, Be with us till our journey's end. In mercy guide us by Thy grace Till we behold Thy glorious face. Though Satan rage, His pow'r is gone His thundering roar can harm us none Our strong Defender hurls him down, And wins for us a heav'nly crown. - Announcement
