This Week's Collect & Sermon Text

LENT I

The Collect                                  The Text for This Week's Sermon

The First Sunday in Lent


The Collect

O LORD, who for our sake didst fast forty days and forty nights; Give us grace to use such abstinence, that, our flesh being subdued to the Spirit, we may ever obey thy godly motions in righteousness, and true holiness, to thy honour and glory, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen

NOr.jpg

Psalm 62. Nonne Deo?

MY soul truly waiteth still upon God; * for of him cometh my salvation.
  2 He verily is my strength and my salvation; * he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
  3 How long will ye imagine mischief against every man? * Ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.
  4 Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt; * their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.
  5 Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God; * for my hope is in him.
  6 He truly is my strength and my salvation; * he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.
  7 In God is my health and my glory; * the rock of my might; and in God is my trust.
  8 O put your trust in him alway, ye people; * pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.

 1 always  until 1892

    9 As for the children of men, they are but vanity; the children of men are deceitful; * upon the weights they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.
  10 O trust not in wrong and robbery; give not yourselves unto vanity: * if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
  11 God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same, * that power belongeth unto God;
  12 And that thou, Lord, art merciful; * for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

The Sermon for This Week

 


Psalm 62:8 

"O put your trust in Him alway, ye people: pour out your hearts before Him, for God is our hope."

​

    During the Lenten season, we as Christians need to renew our efforts in building Christ's Church.

​

  It is very easy to become discouraged as we hear the news each day that more and more of the earth's people are falling under the influence of evil.

​

   We are reminded daily that simply being a Christian may mean a death sentence in some parts of the world.

 

  Whether by radical Islam or atheistic communist governments, we see Christians under threat abroad.

 

  We also see the Church here in the U.S. falling in numbers year after year.

 

  Sadly, we find that less and less of our country's population call themselves Christians today.

 

  Also only a small percentage of those individuals really take an active role in their local church.

   However, we as Christians should not be discouraged.

 

  We need to simply place our trust in God.

 

  Our God has helped, and will continue to help, his people as he has so many times in the past.

     We should use this Lenten season to study his holy word (The Bible), and indeed "pour out our hearts" by making our requests to him in prayer.

 

  Our loving Father can, and will if we ask faithfully, send His Holy Spirit into our hearts and make it possible for us to do our part in bringing others to his saving love.

 

  We each have been given talents by our Heavenly Father that, with the Holy Spirit's direction, we can use to help the Church in its mission of spreading the gospel to those who haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

     So during this Lenten season, we as Christians need to discipline ourselves to read scripture daily and pray daily, that we may each be useful in growing Christ's Church.

 

  We must put our trust in God, that with his help, we can do those things that please him.

 

  We should say as the Psalmist does:

 

"In God is my health and my glory; the rock of my might; and in God is my trust."

We pray for our Armed Forces at each of our Morning and Evening Prayer services.

​

  O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the Armed Forces of our country and those of our allies; Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.
