THE WORD

FIRST LESSON: Numbers 6:22-27

The Lord instructed Moses to put His blessing on the Israelites in a threefold benediction which we still use today.

PSALM OF THE DAY: Psalm 150 on page 122

The glorious nature of our Triune God, and “the acts of power” He has accomplished for our salvation, will inspire our endless praise.

SECOND LESSON: Romans 5:1-5

God the Father justifies us through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This faith is planted in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. The completeness of our salvation worked by the Triune God gives us hope we rejoice in.

GOSPEL: John 16:12-15

Just before His death, Jesus comforted His disciples with the fact that God the Holy Spirit would lead them into the full truth of salvation and implant Jesus in their hearts to make them right with the Father. This is exactly how the Trinity brings salvation to people today.

THE SERMON: Matthew 6:9

THEME: Address the Father in Praye

ATTENDANCE AT THE LORD’S HOUSE 82
