O God, overflowing with mercy and compassion, you
lead back to yourself all those who go astray. Preserve
your people in your loving care, that we may reject
whatever is contrary to you and may follow all things
that sustain our life in your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior
and Lord, Amen.
Children’s Sermon
First Reading: Exodus 32: 7-14
p. 62
While Moses is on Mount Sinai, the people grow restless
and make a golden calf to worship. Today’s reading shows
Moses as the mediator between an angry God and a sinful
people. Moses reminds God that the Israelites are God’s
own people and boldly asks mercy for them.
Psalm 51:1-10
p. 239
Second Reading: 1 Timothy 1:12-17
p. 62
The letters to Timothy are called the Pastoral Epistles because
they contain advice especially intended for leaders in the church.
Here the mercy shown to Paul, who once persecuted the church,
is cited as evidence that even the most unworthy may become
witnesses to the grace of God.
Gospel Verse
p. 62
Gospel: Luke 15:1-10
p. 63
Jesus tells two stories that suggest a curios connection between
the lost being found and sinners repenting. God takes the
initiative to find sinners, each of whom is so precious to God that
his or her recovery brings joy to heaven.
