First Reading: Ezekiel 33:7-11All sit.

Ezekiel accepts the responsibility for warning the people to turn from their wickedness.

God keeps inviting his people to repent and choose life.A reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel:

You, mortal, I have made a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word frommy mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked ones,you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from their ways,the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but their blood I will require at your hand. But if youwarn the wicked to turn from their ways, and they do not turn from their ways, the wickedshall die in their iniquity, but you will have saved your life. Now you, mortal, say to the

house of Israel, Thus you have said: Our transgressions and our sins weigh upon us, andwe waste away because of them; how then can we live? Say to them, As I live, says theLord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn fromtheir ways and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die, O houseof Israel?

Reader: The Word of the Lord.People: Thanks be to God.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Please kneel or stand at this time, as best helps you to pray.

Holy and gracious Father: In your innite love you made us for yourself; and, when wehad fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent JesusChrist, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one ofus, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.

He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, aperfect sacrice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ tookbread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, andsaid, Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance ofme.After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them,and said, Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shedfor you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for theremembrance of me.

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Christ has died.Christ is risen.Christ will come again.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrice of praise andthanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son,the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we mayfaithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; andat the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. By him, and with him, and in him, in theunity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.

AMEN.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed by 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,

A Note on Todays Readings

Proper 18, Year A

Welcome to St. Francis Church. We now reach a section of Matthews Gospel in whichJesus teaches about Gods way of dealing with humanity: namely, forgiveness. Todaysreading is primarily concerned with the Churchs role as the agent of forgiveness. Evenwhen a member of the Church is unrepentant, the Church is not to give up on that personeasily. We are to make every effort to move the sinner to repent and accept the forgivenessof God, which Jesus has commissioned the Church to offer.

Intherstreading,theprophetEzekieliscommissionedtowarnthepeopleoftheneedtorepent. The central message is that God has no desire to condemn; Gods deepest desire isto forgive.

Todays passage from the Epistle to the Romans continues to deal with the characteristicsof Christian living. We are to live in good relationships with all people, to respect the laws

and authorities of human society, and above all to express love by mutual behavior basedon Gods law.

We gather as the People of God, having found in our relationship with God that he is ourloverandoursavior,notanangryorcondemningjudge.WendinourlivestogetherasChurch that we are not only the recipients of Gods love and forgiveness but also sent intothe world as the instruments of that love and forgiveness to all people.

Revelation 14:1-7, 13 Then I saw another angel ying in midair, and he had the eternalgospel to proclaim to those who live on the earthto every nation, tribe, language andpeople. (v.6 NIV)

I have always thought that Bibles should come with certain Scripture verses alreadyhighlighted. Similar to how the King James translation has all of Jesus words printed inred. Todays reading is the answer to that seemingly unanswerable question about the

tribesmen in Africa who arent exposed to churches or languages that the Bible has beentranslated into.

God has assigned an angel to oversee the sharing of the gospel to all people. That means allthose who live on this earthregardless of how they look, act, or where they livewill beexposed to the gospel in some way. How God does that is His job, not ours.

Acts13:44-52And the disciples were lled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.(v.52)

Paul and Barnabas preached the Gospel to the Jewish people in Pisidian Antioch, whodidnt like it and incited a riot. They then began preaching to the Gentiles, who acceptedthe gospel. The Jews had Paul and Barnabas kicked out of town.

Itseemsstrangetheywouldbelledwithjoyafterbeingexpelledfromatown.However,Paul and Barnabas were obeying God by preaching the Gospel. As a result, they witnessedpeoplesliveschanged.TheywerelledwithjoybyobeyingGodscallontheirlife.Thereis nothing more exciting that sharing the Gospel with someone and seeing then accept theLord. Everything else seems to become dim in comparison (even being expelled from atown).

We have to realize that some people, like the Jews in Acts, will reject the Gospel. We maybe surprised by who accepts Christ into their lives. All we are called to do is be obedient

and share it as the Lord leads us.

When was the last time you shared the Gospel with someone? Ask the Lord to putsomeone in your path today.

Job32:1-10,1933:1,19-28;Psalms41,52;John10:19-30

Tuesday September 9

Job29:1-20How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me.(v.2)

Job talks throughout this passage about how good life used to be. He had respect, materialwealth,power,andinuence.HeimpliesthatatonetimeGodhadbeenwithhim,buthadsince removed himself from Jobs life, resulting in calamity.

We tend to feel this way when times are hard or tragedy occurs. We reason that God cantpossibly be with us or he wouldnt let things like this happen to us. Actually, Scriptureillustrates that God has been with us throughout the ages and always will be. Read Psalm139. We cant get away from God.

Nowhere in the Scriptures does it say that life will always be easy, full of riches, or withoutstruggles. It is through painful times and hardships that we draw closer to the Lord, if wechoose. When we do, he will walk with us through those catastrophic times. The poemFootprints ends by God explaining that during the times of struggle there was only one

Wednesday September 10

John 11:1-16 When he heard this, Jesus said, This sickness will not end in death. No, it is

for Gods glory so that Gods Son may be gloried through it. Jesus loved Martha andher sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he wastwo more days. (vv.4-6)

It doesnt make sense. Jesus friend, Lazarus was sick. Youd think Jesus would want tosee his ailing friend. Yet he delayed visiting him for two days. Jesus told his disciples thatLazarus wouldnt die and it would glorify God.

Gods will doesnt always make sense at the time He calls us to do something. We see

the world in one dimension. God has worldly vision that is multi-dimensional. He sees acontinuumthe past, the future, our lives, the lives of others, and how it all interacts.

It doesnt have to make sense to us. We are called to obey His will. When Im confusedbecausewhatGodistellingmetodojustdoesntseemright,Ipray.Iaskforconrmationthat acting on my faith in Him is the way to go. Then I ask the Lord to reveal to me laterhow it all came together. I want to see it through his eyes. I trust there was a reason forwhat He called me to do and it will glorify Him in the end.

Thursday September 11

Acts 15:1-11 When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and theapostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them. (v.4)

With all that was going on, the controversies and the abundance of conversions, it wouldbe easy for Paul and Barnabas to think that they were the cause of it. But they didnt.They maintained that God was working through them to change the lives of so many.

Furthermore, they told others that as well.

Pride, or hubris, is one of those deadly sins that can come on quietly and without usrealizing it. We become successful at something, and we start thinking how talented orgood or generous or charismatic we are instead of giving the glory to the one who gave usour abilities and opportunities.

I have found several ways to prevent pride from setting in. Always be thankful for the gifts,abilities, and opportunities God has blessed you with. Give someone permission to tell youwhen you are getting prideful. When you are paid a compliment, respond by saying, ToGod be the glory.

Friday September 12

John 11:30-44Jesus wept. (v.35)

Jesus was fully man and fully God. Being fully man, he would have experienced all thesame emotions that we do. When Jesus heard that Lazarus had died, he felt sadness anddespair. He wept and mourned the loss of his friend.

Those are emotions I have felt. Jesus can empathize with them when I express them tohim. I have felt comforted at those times by God and have received hope as I trust in him.

I know Jesus weeps at tragedies, pain and desperation more than we can comprehend,because he loves each one of us. Just as he brought hope and healing to Lazarus, we mustbelieve on that hope in our lives.

Prayer: Lord, I thank you that as God you bring hope and resurrection to our lives. I thankyou also that as a man you understand what pain feels like. I pray for ______ who is in

pain. I pray that he/she would feel your comfort and the hope you give.

Job29:1,31:24-40;Psalms40,54;Acts15:12-21

Saturday September 13

Job 38:1-17 Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm. He said: Who is this thatdarkens my counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I willquestion you, and you shall answer me. (vv.1-3)

God describes himself as the architect of this world. He designed the blueprints of theearths foundation and created the barriers for the seas. He ordered the morning and theevening. The imagery is vivid. He is a powerful God who formed the Earth and createdJob.

That same God is conversing with Job and clearly knows the tragedies Job hasexperienced. God is loving, merciful, and wants to walk with us through our days. Thoseextremes are almost impossible to comprehend a God so big he created the world andHe also wants to share in the intricacies of our lives. We often struggle, like Job, with what

that really means, especially when it comes to tragedy and disappointments in our lives.

Prayer: Lord, you are a powerful yet loving and just God. I am humbled that you want toknow me. Show me today how I can understand you better.
