Life Thoughts for May 30 -Holy Trinity - Almighty God makes Himself known to us as Father, Son, and Spirit (Isaiah 6:3, 8). He delights in nothing more than bringing forth children (Psalm 29:9; John 3:3-5). Childbearing means more than just political controversy or personal choice. It belongs to the Gospel’s essence to cherish all the little ones. Whom shall He send to celebrate it? Here we are—send us! Thrivent Members: sign up for a Thrivent Action Grant at the narthex counter.

HYMN # 905 “Come, Thou Almighty King”

THE BAPTISM OF KAYDEN ROBERT DOEHLING (Saturday)

The sign of the cross may be made by all in remembrance of their Baptism.

P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen. P Our help is in the name of the Lord, C who made heaven and earth. P If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared.

P Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, and receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of this altar, let us first consider our unworthiness and confess before God and one another that we have sinned in thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our sinful condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our heavenly Father, seeking His grace for the sake of Christ, and saying: God, be merciful to me, a sinner.

C Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead us to everlasting life. Amen.

P Almighty God, merciful Father, in Holy Baptism You declared us to be Your children and gathered us into Your one, holy Church, in which You daily and richly forgive us our sins and grant us new life through Your Spirit. Be in our midst, enliven our faith, and graciously receive our prayer and praise; through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

C Amen.

Service of the Word INTROIT Psalm 16:8–11; antiphon: Liturgical Text Blessèd be the Holy Trinity and the undivided Unity. Let us give glory to him because he has shown his mercy to us. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Blessèd be the Holy Trinity and the undivided Unity. Let us give glory to him because he has shown his mercy to us.

HYMN OF PRAISE # 506 “Glory Be to God the Father”

SALUTATION AND COLLECT OF THE DAY P The Lord be with you. C And also with you. P Let us pray.

Almighty and everlasting God, You have given us grace to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity by the confession of a true faith and to worship the Unity in the power of the Divine Majesty. Keep us steadfast in this faith and defend us from all adversities; for You, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, live and reign, one God, now and forever.

C Amen.

ATHANASIAN CREED, PART 1 The word catholic not capitalized refers to the whole universal Christian Church founded on the true teachings of Scripture. P Whoever desires to be saved must, above all, hold the catholic

faith. C Whoever does not keep it whole and undefiled will without

doubt perish eternally. P And the catholic faith is this, C that we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, neither confusing the persons nor dividing the substance.

P For the Father is one person, the Son is another, and the Holy Spirit is another. C But the Godhead of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is one: the glory equal, the majesty coeternal. P Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit: C the Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, the Holy Spirit uncreated; P the Father infinite, the Son infinite, the Holy Spirit infinite; C the Father eternal, the Son eternal, the Holy Spirit eternal. P And yet there are not three Eternals, but one Eternal, C just as there are not three Uncreated or three Infinites, but one Uncreated and one Infinite. P In the same way, the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, the Holy Spirit almighty; C and yet there are not three Almighties, but one Almighty. P So the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God; C and yet there are not three Gods, but one God. P So the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, the Holy Spirit is Lord; C and yet there are not three Lords, but one Lord. P Just as we are compelled by the Christian truth to acknowledge each distinct person as God and Lord, so also are we prohibited by the catholic religion to say that there are three Gods or Lords. C The Father is not made nor created nor begotten by anyone. P The Son is neither made nor created, but begotten of the Father alone. C The Holy Spirit is of the Father and of the Son, neither made nor created nor begotten, but proceeding. P Thus, there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits. C And in this Trinity none is before or after another; none is greater or less than another; P but the whole three persons are coeternal with each other and coequal, so that in all things, as has been stated above, the Trinity in Unity and Unity in Trinity is to be worshiped. C Therefore, whoever desires to be saved must think thus about the Trinity.

HYMN # 507 "Holy, Holy, Holy"

SERMON “God has Chosen You” 1 Chronicles 28:1-11, 20

PRAYER OF THE CHURCH P Lord in your mercy, C Hear our prayer.

Service of the Sacrament PREFACE P The Lord be with you. C And also with you. P Lift up your hearts. C We lift them to the Lord. P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. C It is right to give Him thanks and praise. P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in

all places give thanks to You, O Lord, holy Father, almighty and

everlasting God, for the countless blessings You so freely bestow on us and all creation. Above all, we give thanks for Your boundless love shown to us when You sent Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into our flesh and laid on Him our sin, giving Him into death that we might not die eternally. Because He is now risen from the dead and lives and reigns to all eternity, all who believe in Him will overcome sin and death and will rise again to new life. Therefore with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:

SANCTUS

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING P Blessed are You, O Lord our God, king of all creation, for You

have had mercy on us and given Your only-begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. You once revealed Your name to Moses in the burning bush; and through Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, You unveiled the mystery of Your holy name in the Trinity of persons and the Unity of being. Grant that we, who have been baptized and instructed in the triune name, may faithfully eat and drink of Your Son’s body and blood and worship You in spirit and truth, O Father, through Your Son in the Holy Spirit.

Hear us as we pray in His name and as He has taught us:

LORD’S PRAYER C 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.

THE WORDS OF OUR LORD PAX DOMINI P The peace of the Lord be with you always. C Amen.

Monday, May 31 2 Chronicles 1-2

1. King David ruled as a warrior king, constantly doing battle with the enemies of God’s people (1 Chronicles 18-20). How was God’s power evidenced in the reign of David in David’s regard for people? See 1 Chronicles 18:14

Tuesday, June 1 2 Chronicles 3-5 2. Solomon built the temple “for the Name of the Lord” (2 Chronicles 2:1). What would that

mean? Give examples of how you might do some task “for the Name of the Lord.” Include your examples in your prayers today. List some words you would use to describe the temple and its furnishings as Solomon built it (2 Chronicles 3–4). Why did Solomon build the temple in this manner? How might Solomon’s example provide a model for us in completing projects that we undertake?

3. Since the Chronicler was writing for exiles who returned from Babylon, what aspect of the description of the dedication of the temple (2 Chronicles 5) would encourage them? What encouragement does this description give you, a member of the “holy Christian church, the communion of saints” (the Apostles’ Creed), for your own worship?

Wednesday, June 2 2 Chronicles 6-7 4. The Lord appeared to Solomon at night (2 Chronicles 7:12) to talk with Solomon about the

prayer that had been offered in the temple. The Lord assured Solomon that when the people prayed, He would listen; when they confessed their sin, He would forgive. These were words of assurance. At what other times has God “appeared at night” with words of assurance for His people? For you?

Thursday, June 3 2 Chronicles 8-9 5. What picture do you get of Solomon in chapters 8 and 9? Does he seem to be growing in

faith during these years? The rest of the story is in 1 Kings 11. What warning did God give Solomon (1 Kings 11:11–13)? How might this warning be a blessing to us? The queen of Sheba received the message that Solomon ruled “because of the love of your God for Israel and His desire to uphold them forever, … to maintain justice and righteousness” (2 Chronicles 9:8). What message might this picture send to rulers of our own day?

Friday, June 4 2 Chronicles 10-11 6. At the time of the division of the kingdom, people from throughout Israel “who set their hearts on seeking the Lord” moved to Jerusalem “to be able to offer sacrifices to the

Lord” (2 Chronicles 11:16). What changes in their lives did this move entail? What similar changes in their lives do Christians still make, with the blessing of the Holy Spirit, to worship the Lord? In your prayers, thank God for the strength He has given to people to make such changes.

Saturday, June 5 2 Chronicles 12 7. The events of 2 Chronicles 12 follow an outline similar to an outline of sections of the worship

service. Point out the similarities. Why would church services follow such an outline?

Week 36 (May 31-June 5): 2 Chronicles 1-12

Scripture Readings 1 Chronicles 28:1-11, 20 David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the officials of the tribes, the officers of the divisions that served the king, the commanders of thousands, the commanders of hundreds, the stewards of all the property and livestock of the king and his sons, together with the palace officials, the mighty men and all the seasoned warriors. Then King David rose to his feet and said: “Hear me, my brothers and my people. I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for the footstool of our God, and I made preparations for building. But God said to me, ‘You may not build a house for my name, for you are a man of war and have shed blood.’ Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me from all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For he chose Judah as leader, and in the house of Judah my father’s house, and among my father’s sons he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel. And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. He said to me, ‘It is Solomon your son who shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues strong in keeping my commandments and my rules, as he is today.’ Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever. “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do

it.” Then David gave Solomon his son the plan of the vestibule of the temple, and of its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, and its inner chambers, and of the room for the mercy seat; Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished Acts 2:29-36 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, “The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.’ Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Matthew 28:16-20 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
