MORAVIAN DAILY TEXT
Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost
Watchword for the week – Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right. 2 Thessalonians 3:13
Sunday, November 16 – Malachi 4:1-2a; Psalm 98; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13; Luke 21:5-19
The Lord regarded their distress when he heard their cry. For their sake he remembered his covenant. Psalm 106:44-45
While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Acts 7:59
Forgiving God, you call us to forgive others as you forgive us. Too often we do not extend forgiveness to ourselves and others. Help us to remember what your loving, forgiving, anger-dispelling embrace feels like when forgiveness isn’t our initial response. Amen.
Belief of the Church
With the whole of Christendom, we share faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe and confess that God has revealed Himself once and for all in His Son Jesus Christ; that our Lord has redeemed us with whole of mankind by His death and His resurrection; and that there is no salvation apart from Him. We believe that He is present with us in the Word and the Sacrament; that He directs and unites us through His Spirit and thus forms us into a Church. We hear Him summoning us to follow Him, and pray Him to use us in His Service. He joins us together mutually so that knowing ourselves to be members of His Body we become willing to serve each other.
