Supernatural Comfort
Pastor: Holy God, Almighty Father, from You proceeds the Spirit, sent by the Son to be our Comforter, bringing to our remembrance all that Jesus said and taught. Open our ears and our hearts to the living voice of Jesus in the Word of God, and grant that we may always be enlightened and helped by the same Holy Spirit; who lives and reigns with the Father and the Son, one God, now and forever.
All: Amen.
Kyrie

All: Lord, have mercy.

All: Lord, have mercy.

Scripture Reading
John 14:25-27 - “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Nicene Creed
All: I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Message
Do you need comfort in your losses?
Do you need comfort in your loneliness?
Do you need comfort in your fear?
Do you need comfort in your uncertainty?
Do you need comfort in your weariness?
Do you need comfort for your shame or regret?
John 14:16 - “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter, and He will never leave you.”
O Holy Spirit Enter In
O Holy Spirit enter in
And in our hearts your work begin
And make our hearts Your dwelling
Sun of the soul O Light divine
Around and in us brightly shine
To joy and gladness wake us
That we may be truly living
To You giving prayer unceasing
And in love be still increasing
Give to Your Word impressive power
That in our hearts from this good hour
As fire it may be glowing
That in true Christian unity
We faithful witnesses may be
Your glory ever showing
Hear us cheer us by Your teaching
Let our preaching and our labor
Praise You Lord and
Serve our neighbor
O Mighty Rock O Source of life
Let Your dear Word
In doubt and strife
In us be strongly burning
That we be faithful unto death
And live in love and holy faith
From You true wisdom learning
Your grace and peace on us shower
By Your power Christ confessing
Let us see our Saviors blessing
Confession & Forgiveness
Pastor: When the Spirit comes, He will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment. (John 16:8)
Pastor: Let us confess our sins before God, the Holy Trinity.
All: Holy God, we acknowledge our sin before You. Specifically, Lord, in the silence of our hearts we confess these specific sins:
(silent confession)
All: For these and all our sins we deserve nothing but punishment. Yet, for the sake of the holy precious blood and innocent suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us; forgive us our sins; and lead us to walk in the way of holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor: God has heard your confession and has had mercy on you for Jesus' sake. God loves you so much that He has given His Son to die for you and in Christ grants you full forgiveness and everlasting life. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
All: Amen.
Communion
The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod holds the Biblical teaching that in Communion we receive the true body and blood of Jesus Christ with the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins. If you are a baptized Christian who has been instructed in the Biblical teaching of the real presence of the Christ in this meal and grace through faith in Christ, and if you agree with our confession of faith, please join with the fellowship of disciples in Holy Communion.
“Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.” (1 Corinthians 11:28-29)
The Lord’s Prayer
All: Our Father who 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.
Blessing
1 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) - Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
