The Lutheran Order of Service for this years 16th Sunday after the high holiday of the most holy and venerated godly Trinity is available here in isiZulu and seTswana. Today it comes with a sermon based on God’s word from the gospel of the evangelist St. Luke in the 7th chapter verses 11-16 (Jesus raises the son of the widow at Nain from the dead) by the late Pastor Sibiya in isiZulu (wz1346130915 n Tr 16) and translated as usual into seTswana (wt1346130915 n Tr 16) by my father Rev. E.A.W.Weber DD (Welbedacht, KZN).
The readings for this Sunday are:
Old Testament: Lamentations 3:22-26.31-32
The Epistle: 2.Timothy 1,7-10
The Gospel: John 11,1 (2) 3. 17-27 (41-45)
The liturgical colour is green.
May you have a very blessed weekend and have time to meditate on the watchword for this Sunday: Our Saviour, Christ Jesus has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. (2Ti 1:10 NIV) – and if you are called to preach this weekend, may the triune God give you joy and strength, enthusiasm and wisdom, knowledge and insight – and the true and faithful words, biblical pictures and stories to preach his holy will purely and his promises faithfully! However if you are not preaching, but listening – then listen for God is talking to you + His precious gospel is “the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.” (Rom 1:16 NIV)
