May you have a very blessed weekend and have time to meditate on the watchword for this week: For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. (Luk 12:48 KJV)

Let Your merciful ears, o Lord, be open to the prayers of Your humble servants; and that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please You; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

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.

Sermonette during Matins

Posted on August 7, 2014 by Wilhelm Weber

greek-runnersThis morning at Matins student Benjamin Kaumba led the liturgy and read the lesson from 1 Samuel  20:24-42 while we sang the hymn written by Wilhelm Erasmus Arends and translated by John M. Sloan: “Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you ...” (LSB 668):

1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you, O Christians, lest the foe destroy you; For Satan has designed your fall. Wield God’s word, the weapon glorious; Against all foes be thus victorious. For God protects you from them all. Fear not the hordes of hell, Here is Emmanuel. Hail the Saviour! The strong foes yield To Christ, our shield, And we, the victors, hold the field.

2 Cast afar this world’s vain pleasure And boldly strive for heav’nly treasure. Be steadfast in the Saviour’s might. Trust the Lord, who stands beside you, For Jesus from all harm will hide you. By faith you conquer in the fight. Take courage, weary soul! Look forward to the goal! Joy awaits you. The race well run, Your long war won, Your crown shines splendid as the sun.

3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short is this our earthly way. When the Lord the dead will waken And sinners all by fear are shaken, The saints with joy will greet that day. Praise God, our triumph’s sure. We need not long endure Scorn and trial. Our Saviour King His own will bring To that great glory which we sing. (Source: Lutheran Service Book #668)

This fits nicely with the prescribed reading for this mornings sermon from 1.Corinthians 9: 24-27. Listen to my sermonette here:
