Amen.\n\n\n\nFirst Reading: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16                                                         Reader: J. Ehmke\n\n\n\nWhen Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless. And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will make you exceedingly numerous.” Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him, “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You shall be the ancestor of a multitude of nations. No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the ancestor of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your offspring after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.”\n\n\n\nThe Psalm 22:22-30\n\n\n\n22 Praise the Lord, you that fear him; *\n\n\n\nstand in awe of him, O offspring of Israel;\n\n\n\nall you of Jacob’s line, give glory.\n\n\n\n23 For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty;\n\n\n\nneither does he hide his face from them; *\n\n\n\nbut when they cry to him he hears them.\n\n\n\n24 My praise is of him in the great assembly; *\n\n\n\nI will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.\n\n\n\n25 The poor shall eat and be satisfied,\n\n\n\nand those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *\n\n\n\n“May your heart live for ever!”\n\n\n\n26 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, *\n\n\n\nand all the families of the nations shall bow before him.\n\n\n\n27 For kingship belongs to the Lord; *\n\n\n\nhe rules over the nations.\n\n\n\n28 To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; *\n\n\n\nall who go down to the dust fall before him.\n\n\n\n29 My soul shall live for him;\n\n\n\nmy descendants shall serve him; *\n\n\n\nthey shall be known as the Lord’s for ever.\n\n\n\n30 They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *\n\n\n\nthe saving deeds that he has done.\n\n\n\nSecond Reading: Romans 4:13-25                                                             Reader: J. Ehmke\n\n\n\nFor the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there violation. For this reason it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants, not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (for he is the father of all of us, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”) —in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. Hoping against hope, he believed that he would become “the father of many nations,” according to what was said, “So numerous shall your descendants be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already as good as dead (for he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Therefore his faith “was reckoned to him as righteousness.” Now the words, “it was reckoned to him,” were written not for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.\n\n\n\nSequence Hymn    “Now let us all with one accord”   Hymnal 147  v 1 & 2\n\n\n\n1 Now let us all with one accord,\n\n\n\nin company with ages past,\n\n\n\nkeep vigil with our heavenly Lord\n\n\n\n  in his temptation and his fast .\n\n\n\n2 The covenant, so long revealed\n\n\n\nto those of faith in former time,\n\n\n\nChrist by his own example sealed, \n\n\n\nthe Lord of love, in love sublime\n\n\n\nThe Gospel: Mark 8:31-38                                                       The Rev. Deacon Kay Drebert\n\n\n\nDeacon: The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Mark.\n\n\n\nPeople: Glory be to thee O Lord.\n\n\n\nJesus began to teach his disciples that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”\n\n\n\nDeacon: The Gospel of the Lord.\n\n\n\nPeople: Praise be to thee, O Christ.\n\n\n\nHomily                                                                                          The Rev.
