Opening Hymn

Title: Take My Life and Let It Be Number: LSB 783 Stanzas: 1, 2, 5, 6

Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands and let them move At the impulse of Thy love;

Take my feet and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my will and make it Thine, It shall be no longer mine;

Take my heart, it is Thine own, It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store;

Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee.

Invocation: leader: PH

Leader: In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit.

People: Amen.

Confession LSB Pg: 151 Leader: PH

Leader: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

People: But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins

and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

(Silence for reflection on God's Word and for self-examination.)

Leader: Let us then confess our sins to God our Father.

People: Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We

have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what

we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved

our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For

the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us,

so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy

name. Amen.

Forgiveness LSB 151: Leader: PH

Leader: In the mercy of Almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for His

sake God forgives us all our sins. To those who believe in Jesus Christ He gives the

power to become the children of God and bestows on them the Holy Spirit. May the

Lord, who has begun this good work in us, bring it to completion in the day of our Lord

Jesus Christ.

People: Amen

Hymn of Praise leader: LSB155 This is the Feast

God. (Refrain)

Power, riches, wisdom and strength, And honor, blessing, and glory are His. (Refrain)

Sing with all the people of God, And join in the hymn of all creation:

Blessing, honor, glory, and might Be to God and the Lamb forever. Amen. (Refrain)

For the Lamb who was slain has begun His reign. Alleluia. (Refrain)

Salutation and Collect of the Day: pg.156 Leader: PH

Leader: The Lord be with you.

People: And also with you.

Leader: Let us pray... O Lord, keep Your family the Church continually in the true faith

that, relying on the hope of Your heavenly grace, we may ever be defended by Your

mighty power; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You

and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

People: Amen.

Holy Gospel Text: Acts 10:1-48 ESV pp. 918-919

Preacher: Rev. Billy Brath

[1] At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as

the Italian Cohort, [2] a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms

generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. [3] About the ninth hour of the

day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, "Cornelius." [4]

And he stared at him in terror and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your

prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. [5] And now send men

to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter. [6] He is lodging with one Simon, a

tanner, whose house is by the seaside." [7] When the angel who spoke to him had de-

parted, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attend-

ed him, [8] and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa. [9] The next

day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the house-

top about the sixth hour to pray. [10] And he became hungry and wanted something to

eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance [11] and saw the heavens

opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners

upon the earth. [12] In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. [13]

And there came a voice to him: "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." [14] But Peter said, "By no

means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." [15] And the

voice came to him again a second time, "What God has made clean, do not call com-

mon." [16] This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

[17] Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision that he had seen

might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Si-

mon's house, stood at the gate [18] and called out to ask whether Simon who was called

Peter was lodging there. [19] And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said

to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you. [20] Rise and go down and accompany

them without hesitation, for I have sent them." [21] And Peter went down to the men

and said, "I am the one you are looking for. What is the reason for your coming?" [22]

And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well

spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to

come to his house and to hear what you have to say." [23] So he invited them in to be

his guests. Notes The next day he rose and went away with them, and some of the broth-

ers from Joppa accompanied him. [24] And on the following day they entered Caesarea.

Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

[25] When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped

him. [26] But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man." [27] And as he

talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered. [28] And he said to them,

"You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone

of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or

unclean. [29] So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent

for me." [30] And Cornelius said, "Four days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my

house at the ninth hour, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing [31] and

said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered be-

fore God. [32] Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter. He is

lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.' [33] So I sent for you at once, and

you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of

God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord." [34] So Peter opened his

mouth and said: "Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, [35] but in every na-

tion anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. [36] As for the

word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is

Lord of all), [37] you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning

from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: [38] how God anointed Jesus of

Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing

all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. [39] And we are witnesses

of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to

death by hanging him on a tree, [40] but God raised him on the third day and made him

to appear, [41] not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses,

who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. [42] And he commanded us to

preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the

living and the dead. [43] To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who be-

lieves in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." [44] While Peter was still

saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. [45] And the believ-

ers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the

gift of the Holy Spirit Notes was poured out even on the Gentiles. [46] For they were

hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, [47] "Can

anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit

just as we have?" [48] And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus

Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. ...This is the Gospel of the Lord.

People: Praise to You, O Christ.

Sermon

Preacher: BB

Title: "New Beginnings: Life Given to Others"

Text: Acts 10: 1-48

Hymn of the Day

Title: "How Shall They Hear," Who Have Not Heard" Number: LSB 831 Stanzas: 1-4

“How shall they hear,” who have not heard News of a Lord who loved and came;

Nor known His reconciling word, Nor learned to trust a Savior’s name?

“To all the world,” to ev’ry place, Neighbors and friends and far off lands,

Preach the good news of saving grace; Go while the great commission stands.

“Whom shall I send?” Who hears the call, Constant in prayer, through toil and pain,

Telling of One who died for all, To bring a lost world home again?

“Lord, here am I:” Your fire impart To this poor cold self-centered soul;

Touch but my lips, my hands, my heart, And make a world for Christ my goal.

Confession of Faith Leader: PH Creed: Nicene

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, be-

gotten 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 in-

carnate 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

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, say-

ing: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My + blood, which is shed

for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of

Me.”

Draw near and take the body of the Lord. And drink the holy blood for you outpoured;

With heav’nly bread He makes the hungry whole, Gives living waters to the thirsting

soul.

Come forward then with faithful hearts sincere, And take the pledges of salvation here.

In preparing to receive the Lord’s Supper we confess: 1.) I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is my personal Savior. 2.) I confess my sins to God with sincere repentance and desire to receive His forgiveness. 3.) I believe that in this meal I am receiving the true body and blood of Jesus Christ together with the bread and wine. 4.) I desire for the Holy Spirit to work in my life to strengthen my faith and Christian witness. Guests who are unfamiliar with the practice of receiving the Lord’s Supper or who have not been instructed in the Lutheran faith

are asked to speak to the pastor before communing. Those who come forward but who are not receiving the Lord’s Supper, such as small children, are asked to cross their arms over their chest to receive a blessing. The cups in the center of the communion tray contain white grape juice and are reserved for those who are not able to receive wine for dietary or other restrictions. All who receive the Lord’s Supper are asked to fill out the “Communication sheet” in the bulletin and register your attend-ance at Communion by circling your name on the card.

(Please help us in iden�fying those taking communion from the pews by raising

your hand as the Communion Team approaches the congrega�on. Thank you.)
