SERVICE OF WORD AND SACRAMENT
TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST—DISCIPLINED DISCIPLES
As we begin a new school year and look forward, we set our expectations according to the words of Christ! We can expect hard times, we can expect difficulties. But we ask that God help us face challenges with a faith-filled attitude knowing that they are not reasons to be discouraged, but rather encouraged by the evidence that our heavenly Father does what a good father does - he disciplines his children out of love. So we are disciplined disciples who have been changed by the Word of God.

INVOCATION
The grace of our Lord T Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.
And also with you.
La gracia de nuestro Señor T Jesucristo, el amor de Dios, y la comunión del Espíritu Santo, sean con todos ustedes.
Y contigo también.
CONFESSION OF SINS CW93 p26
God invites us to come into his presence and worship him with humble and penitent hearts. Therefore, let us acknowledge our sinfulness and ask him to forgive us.
Holy and merciful Father, I confess that I am by nature sinful, and that I have disobeyed you in my thoughts, words, and actions. I have done what is evil and failed to do what is good. For this I deserve your punishment both now and in eternity. But I am truly sorry for my sins, and trusting in my Savior Jesus Christ, I pray: Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.
God, our heavenly Father, has been merciful to us and has given his only Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Therefore, as a called servant of Christ and by his authority, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son T and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Dios nos invita a entrar a su presencia y adorarle con corazones humildes y penitentes. Entonces, confesemos nuestros pecados y le imploremos que nos perdone.
Santo y misericordioso Padre, confieso que soy por naturaleza pecaminoso, y que te he desobedecido en pensamiento, palabra y obra. He hecho lo malo y fallado de hacer lo bueno. Por todo esto merezco tu castigo, tanto ahora como en la eternidad. Estoy verdaderamente triste sobre mis pecados, y confiando en mi Salvador Jesucristo, oro: Señor, ten misericordia de mí, un pecador.
Dios, nuestro Padre celestial, ha tenido misericordia de nosotros y nos ha dado a su Hijo unigénito para ser el sacrificio redentor por nuestros pecados. Entonces, como ministro llamado por Cristo y por su autoridad, yo les perdono todos tus pecados en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo T y del Espíritu Santo.
Amén.
THE WORD
PRAYER OF THE DAY
Let us pray.
Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift of grace that we come into your presence and offer true and faithful service. Grant that our worship on earth may always be pleasing to you, and in the life to come give us the fulfillment of what you have promised; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.

FIRST READING Jeremiah 23:23–29
The Word of the Lord divides what is true from what is false.
23“Am I only a God nearby,”
declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
24Who can hide in secret places
so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?”
declares the Lord.
25“I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’ 26How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? 27They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship. 28Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29“Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
PRIMERA LECTURA Jeremías 23:23–29
La Palabra del Señor separa lo que es verdadero de lo que es falso.
23 »¿Soy acaso Dios sólo de cerca?
¿No soy Dios también de lejos?
—afirma el SEÑOR—.
24 ¿Podrá el hombre hallar un escondite
donde yo no pueda encontrarlo?
—afirma el SEÑOR—.
¿Acaso no soy yo el que llena los cielos y la tierra?
—afirma el SEÑOR—.
25 »He escuchado lo que dicen los profetas que profieren mentiras en mi nombre, los cuales dicen: “¡He tenido un sueño, he tenido un sueño!” 26 ¿Hasta cuándo seguirán dándole valor de profecía a las mentiras y delirios de su mente? 27 Con los sueños que se cuentan unos a otros pretenden hacer que mi pueblo se olvide de mi nombre, como sus antepasados se olvidaron de mi nombre por el de Baal. 28 El profeta que tenga un sueño, que lo cuente; pero el que reciba mi palabra, que la proclame con fidelidad. ¿Qué tiene que ver la paja con el grano?—afirma el SEÑOR—. 29 ¿No es acaso mi palabra como fuego, y como martillo que pulveriza la roca?—afirma el SEÑOR—.
SECOND READING Hebrews 12:1–13
The Hebrews who converted to Christianity were often divided from their friends and separated from their livelihood. How would they persevere? By fixing their eyes on Jesus.
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! 10They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. 11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13“Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
SEGUNDA LECTURA Hebreos 12:1–13
Los hebreos que se convirtieron al cristianismo a menudo se veían separados de sus amigos y de su medio de vida. ¿Cómo perseverarían? Fijando sus ojos en Jesús.
12 Por tanto, también nosotros, que estamos rodeados de una multitud tan grande de testigos, despojémonos del lastre que nos estorba, en especial del pecado que nos asedia, y corramos con perseverancia la carrera que tenemos por delante. 2 Fijemos la mirada en Jesús, el iniciador y perfeccionador de nuestra fe, quien por el gozo que le esperaba, soportó la cruz, menospreciando la vergüenza que ella significaba, y ahora está sentado a la derecha del trono de Dios. 3 Así, pues, consideren a aquel que perseveró frente a tanta oposición por parte de los pecadores, para que no se cansen ni pierdan el ánimo.
4 En la lucha que ustedes libran contra el pecado, todavía no han tenido que resistir hasta derramar su sangre. 5 Y ya han olvidado por completo las palabras de aliento que como a hijos se les dirige:
«Hijo mío, no tomes a la ligera la disciplina del Señor
ni te desanimes cuando te reprenda,
6 porque el Señor disciplina a los que ama,
y azota a todo el que recibe como hijo.»
7 Lo que soportan es para su disciplina, pues Dios los está tratando como a hijos. ¿Qué hijo hay a quien el padre no disciplina? 8 Si a ustedes se les deja sin la disciplina que todos reciben, entonces son bastardos y no hijos legítimos. 9 Después de todo, aunque nuestros padres humanos nos disciplinaban, los respetábamos. ¿No hemos de someternos, con mayor razón, al Padre de los espíritus, para que vivamos? 10 En efecto, nuestros padres nos disciplinaban por un breve tiempo, como mejor les parecía; pero Dios lo hace para nuestro bien, a fin de que participemos de su santidad. 11 Ciertamente, ninguna disciplina, en el momento de recibirla, parece agradable, sino más bien penosa; sin embargo, después produce una cosecha de justicia y paz para quienes han sido entrenados por ella.
12 Por tanto, renueven las fuerzas de sus manos cansadas y de sus rodillas debilitadas. 13 «Hagan sendas derechas para sus pies», para que la pierna coja no se disloque sino que se sane.

GOSPEL (in English and Karen) Luke 12:49–53
Jesus was fully aware that his work would cause division that would often cut close to home.
49“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
♫ Praise be to you, O Christ.
EVANGELIO (en inglés y karen) Lucas 12:49–53
Jesús era plenamente consciente de que su obra provocaría división que a menudo afectaría directamente a las familias.
49 »He venido a traer fuego a la tierra, y ¡cómo quisiera que ya estuviera ardiendo! 50 Pero tengo que pasar por la prueba de un bautismo, y ¡cuánta angustia siento hasta que se cumpla! 51 ¿Creen ustedes que vine a traer paz a la tierra? ¡Les digo que no, sino división! 52 De ahora en adelante estarán divididos cinco en una familia, tres contra dos, y dos contra tres. 53 Se enfrentarán el padre contra su hijo y el hijo contra su padre, la madre contra su hija y la hija contra su madre, la suegra contra su nuera y la nuera contra su suegra.
Éste es el Evangelio del Señor.
♫ Te alabamos, O Cristo.

CONFESIÓN DE LA FE El Credo Niceno 325 & 381 d.C.
Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, creador del cielo y de la tierra, y de todo lo visible e invisible.
Y creo en un solo Señor Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, engendrado del Padre antes de todos los siglos, Dios de Dios, luz de luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, y no creado, de la misma naturaleza que el Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; por nosotros y por nuestra salvación, él bajó del cielo, y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María la virgen, y se hizo hombre; y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato: Padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las escrituras: Y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; y de nuevo vendrá con gloria para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin.
Y creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, que habló por los profetas. Y creo en una sola iglesia, santa, apostólica, y universal. Reconozco un solo bautismo para el perdón de los pecados, y espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo que ha de venir. Amén.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks and praise.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night he was betrayed, took bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my T body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
Then he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; this is my T blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
The peace of the Lord be with you always.

HYMN 870 O Church, Arise
1 O Church, arise and put your armor on;
hear the call of Christ our captain.
For now the weak can say that they are strong
in the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
we’ll stand against the devil’s lies;
an army bold whose battle cry is love,
reaching out to those in darkness.
2 Our call to war—to love the captive soul,
but to rage against the captor;
and with the sword that makes the wounded whole
we will fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on ev’ry side,
we know the outcome is secure,
and Christ will have the prize for which he died—
an inheritance of nations.
3 Come see the cross, where love and mercy meet,
as the Son of God is stricken;
then see his foes lie crushed beneath his feet,
for the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away,
and Christ emerges from the grave,
this vict’ry march continues till the day
ev’ry eye and heart shall see him.
4 So Spirit come, put strength in ev’ry stride,
give grace for ev’ry hurdle,
that we may run with faith to win the prize
of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
retelling triumphs of his grace,
we hear their calls and hunger for the day
when with Christ we stand in glory.
1 Levántate, iglesia del Señor,
cíñete de Su-armadura;
Oye la voz de Cristo,-el Capitán;
de Su fuerza-el débil tomará.
Con el escudo de la fe,
al diablo no-hemos de temer.
Ejército, armado de amor,
ve y-alcanza-a los perdidos.
2 Nuestra misión será servir y-amar,
combatiendo-al enemigo.
La-espada de Su-Espíritu traerá
libertad a los cautivos.
Aunque-haya pruebas por doquier,
segura es Su salvación;
Jesús tendrá lo que ganó-al morir:
una-herencia de naciones.
3 Mira-en la cruz la gracia-y el perdón,
donde-el Hijo fue-inmolado;
Mas aplastados yacen a los pies
del Señor Sus enemigos.
Conquistador, Se levantó,
es Cristo quien resucitó;
Se cantará Su triunfo hasta que
todo ojo pueda verlo.
4 Su-Espíritu nos llene de valor,
nos dé fuerza-a cada paso.
Nos dé la fe para-el premio-obtener
de un siervo fiel y bueno.
Los santos que lucharon ya
celebran Su fidelidad;
Dios les guardó y-así nos guardará
hasta-estar con Él en gloria.
