Postlude
_____________________________________________________________
FIRST LESSON: Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4
1

The oracle that the prophet Habakkuk saw.

2

O Lord, how long shall I cry for help,

and you will not listen?
Or cry to you Violence!
and you will not save?
3
Why do you make me see wrongdoing
and look at trouble?
Destruction and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.
4
So the law becomes slack
and justice never prevails.
The wicked surround the righteous
therefore judgment comes forth perverted.
2:1

I will stand at my watchpost,

and station myself on the rampart;
I will keep watch to see what he will say to me,
and what he will answer concerning my complaint.
2
Then the Lord answered me and said:
Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so that a runner may read it.
3
For there is still a vision for the appointed time;
it speaks of the end, and does not lie.
If it seems to tarry, wait for it;
it will surely come, it will not delay.
4
Look at the proud!
Their spirit is not right in them,
but the righteous live by their faith.
L The Word of the Lord

C Thanks be to God

RESPONSIVE PSALM: PSALM 37:1-9

1

Do not fret yourself because of | evildoers;

do not be jealous of those | who do wrong.
2
For they shall soon wither | like the grass,
and like the green grass | fade away.
3
Put your trust in the Lord| and do good;
dwell in the land and feed | on its riches.
4
Take delight | in the Lord,
and he shall give you your | hearts desire. R
5
Commit your way to the Lord and put your | trust in him,
and he will bring | it to pass.
6
He will make your righteousness as clear | as the light
and your just dealing | as the noonday.
7
Be still be- | fore the Lord
and wait patient- | ly for him.
8
Do not fret yourself over the | one who prospers,
the one who succeeds in | evil schemes.
9
Refrain from anger, leave | rage alone;
do not fret yourself; it leads on- | ly to evil.
10
For evildoers shall | be cut off,
but those who wait upon the Lord shall pos- | sess the land. R

SECOND LESSON: 2 Timothy 1:1-14

1

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, for the sake of the promise of
life that is in Christ Jesus,
2
To Timothy, my beloved child:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3

I am grateful to Godwhom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors didwhen I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. 4Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. 5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and
your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you. 6For this reason I remind
you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my
hands; 7for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power
and of love and of self-discipline.
8
Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God,
9
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but
according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 10but it has now been revealed through the appearing
of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality
to light through the gospel. 11For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an
apostle and a teacher, 12and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed,
for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to
guard until that day what I have entrusted to him.

13

Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the
faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14Guard the good treasure entrusted to
you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us.
L The Word of the Lord

C Thanks be to God

GOSPEL: Luke 17:5-10

P: The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the 17th chapter:
C: Glory to you, O Lord.
5

The apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith! 6The Lord replied, If
you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree,
Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it would obey you.
7
Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from
plowing or tending sheep in the field, Come here at once and take your
place at the table? 8Would you not rather say to him, Prepare supper for
me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat
and drink? 9Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? 10So
you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, We are
worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!
P: The Gospel of the Lord
C: Praise to you, O Christ
