THE DIVINE SERVICE Prelude Lord of All Nations, Grant Me Grace –Georg Josephr
Christ the Lord is Risen Today
“Christ the Lord is ris’n today!” Saints on earth and angels say; Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply.
Love’s redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! Our Sun’s eclipse is o’er; Lo! He sets in blood no more.
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ hath burst the gates of hell. Death in vain forbids His rise; Christ has opened paradise.
Lives again our glorious King! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once He died our souls to save; Where thy victory, O grave?
Soar we now where Christ has led; Foll’wing our exalted Head. Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail the Lord of earth and heav’n! Praise to Thee by both be giv’n! Thee we greet triumphant now: Hail, the resurrection, Thou! Text: Public domain

Alleluia! Jesus is risen! Trumpets resounding in glorious light! Splendor, the Lamb, Heaven forever! Oh, what a miracle God has in sight!

He is risen!
Is that all there is?
THE CONVERSION OF LYDIA IS ONE OF THE SIGNS OF THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION.
“And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods ...” (Acts 16:13-14)
“a worshiper of God.” (Acts 16:14)
“a worshiper of God.” (Acts 16:14) “The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.” (Acts 16:14)
“a worshiper of God.” (Acts 16:14) “The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.” (Acts 16:14) “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” (Acts 16:15)
God calls. God opens hearts. God creates faith, and God empowers for service.
“I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him;
but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith.” Martin Luther – Small Catechism
You are a sign of life!
Let it not beso!
He is risen!
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)
Tithes & Offerings (Malachi 3:6-10; 2 Corinthians 9:7) Offertory Hymn We Give Thee But Thine Own
We give Thee but Thine own, Whate’er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee.
May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our firstfruits give!
Oh, hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold.
To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angels’ work below.
The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing.
And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be: Whate’er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Text: Public domain
The Apostles’ Creed (Romans 10:9-10) I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Prayer of the Church (1 Timothy 2:1-4) (Response after each petition) L: Let us pray to the Lord: C: Lord, have mercy.
The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:7-13; 1 Chronicles 29:11-13) Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
THE WORDS OF OUR LORD (Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25) L: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My (†) body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”
In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My (†) blood, which is shed for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see?
O happy harbor of the saints, O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil.
Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green; There grow such sweet and pleasant flow’rs As nowhere else are seen.
There trees forevermore bear fruit And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels dwell And evermore do sing.
Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Savior stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band.
O Christ, do Thou my soul prepare For that bright home of love That I may see Thee and adore With all Thy saints above. Text: Public domain

Tell of our Redeemer’s grace, Who, to save our human race And to pay rebellion’s price, Gave Himself as sacrifice.
