Lutheran order of the divine service in isiZulu and seTswana.

Creation Lucas_Cranach_d._Ä._035The Lutheran Order of Service for the 15th Sunday after Trinity is available here in isiZulu and seTswana. Today it comes with a sermon by Pastor E. Mkhabela (Gamalakhe LC, KZN) based on God’s word from Genesis 2:4b-9 (10-14) 15 in isiZulu (wz1449140927 n. Tr. 15) and translated into seTswana (wt1449140928 n Tr 15) by my father Rev. E.A.W.Weber DD (Welbedacht, KZN).

The readings for this 15th Sunday after Trinity are:

Old Testament:       Genesis 2:4b-9 (10-14)15

The Epistle:            1.Peter 5:5e-11

The Gospel:            St. Matthew 6:25-34

Psalm:                    127:1-2

The liturgical colour is green.

May you have a very blessed weekend and have time to meditate on the watchword for this 15th Sunday after Trinity: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1Pe 5:7 KJV)

O Lord, we implore You, let Your continual pity cleanse and defend Your Church; and because she cannot continue in safety without Your aid, preserve her evermore by Your help and goodness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

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 words and pictures to preach his holy will faithfully according to his most precious revelation of his will and promises in both the Old and New Testament! However if you are not preaching, but listening – then listen as if God is talking to you + His precious gospel is “the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.” (Rom 1:16 NIV)

We thank the Lutheran Heritage Foundation for supporting the distribution of hard-copies of these orders of worship and sermons throughout Southern Africa. If you also want a copy please do not hesitate to subscribe by writing to EAWWeber@bundunet.co.za.
