Be our strong foundation and form us into the body of your Son, that we may gladly minister to all the world, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen. First Reading: Isaiah 51:1-6 Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness,?you that seek the?Lord.Look to the rock from which you were hewn,?and to the quarry from which you?were?dug.Look to Abraham your father?and to Sarah who bore you;for he was but one when I called him,?but I blessed him and made him?many.For the?Lord?will comfort Zion;?he will comfort all her waste places,and will make her wilderness like?Eden,?her desert like the garden of the?Lord;joy and gladness will be found in?her,?thanksgiving and the voice of?song.Listen to me, my people,?and give heed to me, my nation;for a teaching will go out from me,?and my justice for a light to the?peoples.I will bring near my deliverance swiftly,?my salvation has gone out?and my arms will rule the peoples;the coastlands wait for me,?and for my arm they hope.Lift up your eyes to the heavens,?and look at the earth beneath;for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and those who live on it will die like gnats; but my salvation will be for ever,?and my deliverance will never be?ended.Psalm 138 Refrain: Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.I give you thanks, O?Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;I bow down towards your holy temple?and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted your name and your word above everything.On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul.All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O?Lord,?for they have heard the words of your mouth.They shall sing of the ways of the?Lord, for great is the glory of the?Lord.For though the?Lord?is high, he regards the lowly; but the haughty he perceives from far away.Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies; you stretch out your hand, and your right hand delivers me.The?Lord?will fulfil his purpose for?me; your steadfast love, O?Lord, endures for ever.Do not forsake the work of your hands.Second Reading: Romans 12:1-8 I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters,?by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual?worship.?Do not be conformed to this world,?but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgement, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.?For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function,?so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.?We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith;?ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching;?the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.The Holy Gospel: Matthew 16:13-20Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’?And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’?He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’?Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah,?the Son of the living God.’?And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven.?And I tell you, you are Peter,?and on this rock?I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.?I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’?Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was?the Messiah.HomilyHymn of the Day: “There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy” – ELW #588Apostles’ CreedPrayers of IntercessionThe Lord’s PrayerBenedictionSending Song: “Cornerstone”Announcements:MORNING PRAYER WITH PASTOR RON – We’re not too rigid about the time, but 10-ish Wednesday morning by Zoom or in person (in the Chapel).

There is welcome for the sinner, and a promised grace made good;there is mercy with the Savior;there is healing in his blood.There is grace enough for thousandsof new worlds as great as this:there is room for fresh creationsin that upper home of bliss.For the love of God is broader than the measures of our mind;and the heart of the Eternalis most wonderfully kind.But we make this love too narrowby false limits of our own and we magnify its strictnesswith a zeal God will not own. “Tis not all we owe to Jesus;it is something more than all:greater good because of evil,larger mercy through the fall.Make our love, O God, more faithful;let us take you at your word,and our lives will be thanksgiving for the goodness of the Lord.“Cornerstone”My hope is built on nothing lessThan Jesus' blood and righteousnessI dare not trust the sweetest frameBut wholly trust in Jesus' nameChorus:Christ alone, cornerstoneWeak made strong, in the Savior's loveThrough the stormHe is Lord, Lord of allWhen darkness seems to hide His faceI rest on His unchanging graceIn every high and stormy galeMy anchor holds within the veilChorusWhen He shall come with trumpet soundOh, may I then in Him be foundDressed in His righteousness aloneFaultless, stand before the throneChorus 40005016573500 ................
