PHILIPPIANS 1:2
Confession of Sin
The Officiant says to the People
Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.
Dearly beloved, the Scriptures teach us to acknowledge our many sins and offenses, not concealing them from our heavenly Father, but confessing them with humble and obedient hearts that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy. We ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before Almighty God, but especially when we come together in his presence to give thanks for the great benefits we have received at his hands, to declare his most worthy praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things which are necessary for our life and our salvation. Therefore, draw near with me to the throne of heavenly grace.
Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.
Silence is kept. All kneeling, the Officiant and People say
Almighty and most merciful Father,
we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
We have followed too much the devices and desires
of our own hearts.
We have offended against your holy laws.
We have left undone those things which we ought to have done,
and we have done those things which we ought not
to have done;
and apart from your grace, there is no health in us.
O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Spare all those who confess their faults.
Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises
declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,
that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life,
to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.
A Deacon or layperson remains kneeling and prays
Grant to your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Priest alone stands and says
The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit.Amen.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, desires not the death of sinners, but that they may turn from their wickedness and live. He has empowered and commanded his ministers to pronounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins. He pardons and absolves all who truly repent and genuinely believe his holy Gospel. For this reason, we beseech him to grant us true repentance and his Holy Spirit, that our present deeds may please him, the rest of our lives may be pure and holy, and that at the last we may come to his eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.

Psalm 132
Memento, Domine
1 Lord, remember David,*
and all his tribulations,
2 How he swore unto the Lord,*
and vowed a vow unto the Almighty God of Jacob:
3 "I will not come within the tabernacle of my house,*
nor climb up into my bed,
4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, nor my eyelids to slumber,*
neither the temples of my head to take any rest,
5 Until I find a place for the temple of the Lord,*
a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob."
6 Lo, we heard of the ark at Ephrathah*
and found it in the wood.
7 We will go into his tabernacle,*
and fall low on our knees before his footstool.
8 Arise, O Lord, into your resting-place,*
you and the ark of your strength.
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,*
and let your saints sing with joy.
10 For your servant David's sake,*
turn not away the presence of your Anointed.
11 The Lord has made a faithful oath unto David,*
and he shall not shrink from it:
12 "Of the fruit of your body*
shall I set upon your throne.
13 If your children will keep my covenant, and my testimonies that I shall teach them,*
their children also shall sit upon your throne for evermore."
14 For the Lord has chosen Zion for himself;*
he has longed for her to be his habitation:
15 "This shall be my rest for ever;*
here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.
16 I will bless her provisions with increase,*
and will satisfy her poor with bread.
17 I will clothe her priests with salvation,*
and her saints shall rejoice and sing.
18 There shall I make the horn of David flourish;*
I have prepared a lantern for my Anointed.
19 As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame;*
but upon his head shall his crown flourish."
Psalm 133
Ecce, quam bonum!
1 Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is*
when brethren dwell together in unity.
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard,*
even Aaron's beard, and went down to the edges of his clothing,
3 Like the dew of Hermon,*
which falls upon the hills of Zion.
4 For there the Lord promised his blessing,*
even life for evermore.

in which you have caused me to put my trust.
50 This is my comfort in my trouble,*
for your word has given me life.
51 The proud have held me exceedingly in derision,*
yet I have not turned aside from your law.
52 For I have remembered, O Lord, your judgments from of old,*
and by them I have received comfort.
53 I am filled with indignation,*
because of the ungodly who forsake your law.
54 Your statutes have been my songs*
in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have promised to keep your law.

59 I have called my ways to remembrance*
and turned my feet to your testimonies.
60 I made haste and did not delay*
to keep your commandments.

but I have not forgotten your law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you,*
because of your righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion of all those who fear you*
and keep your commandments.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy;*
O teach me your statutes.
65 O Lord, you have dealt graciously with your servant,*
according to your word.
66 O teach me true understanding and knowledge,*
for I have believed your commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,*
but now I keep your word.
68 You are good and gracious;*
O teach me your statutes.
69 The proud have slandered me with lies,*
but I will keep your commandments with my whole heart.
70 Their heart has become gross with fatness,*
but my delight is in your law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,*
that I may learn your statutes.
72 The law of your mouth is dearer to me*
than thousands in gold and silver.

Salvum me fac
1 Save me, O God,*
for the waters have come up even to my neck.
2 I sink down in the deep mire, where there is no ground;*
I have come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me.
3 I am weary of crying; my throat is dry;*
my sight fails me from waiting so long for my God.
4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;*
those who are my enemies, and would destroy me wrongfully, are mighty.
5 They bid me restore things I never took.*
O God, you know my foolishness, and my faults are not hidden from you.
6 Let not those who trust in you, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed because of me;*
let not those who seek you be confounded through me, O God of Israel.
7 Surely for your sake have I suffered reproach;*
shame has covered my face.
8 I have become a stranger to my brethren,*
unknown to my mother's children,
9 Because zeal for your house has consumed me,*
and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen upon me.
10 I wept, and humbled myself with fasting,*
but that was turned to my reproach.
11 I put on sackcloth also,*
and I became a byword among them.
12 Those who sit in the gate speak against me,*

13 But, Lord, I make my prayer to you*
in an acceptable time.
14 Hear me, O God, in the multitude of your mercy,*
even in the truth of your salvation.
15 Take me out of the mire, lest I sink;*
O let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
16 Let not the floodwaters drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up,*
and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
17 Hear me, O Lord, for your loving-kindness is good;*
turn to me according to the multitude of your mercies;
18 And hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble;*
O hasten and hear me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The First Lesson
Judges 7
The lesson is read, the people sitting
Reader | A reading from the Book of Judges, beginning with the seventh chapter, the first verse |
Gideon's Three Hundred Men
Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2 The Lord said to Gideon, “The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ 3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home and hurry away from Mount Gilead.’” Then 22,000 of the people returned, and 10,000 remained.
4 And the Lord said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ shall not go.” 5 So he brought the people down to the water. And the Lord said to Gideon, “Every one who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself. Likewise, every one who kneels down to drink.” 6 And the number of those who lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was 300 men, but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water. 7 And the Lord said to Gideon, “With the 300 men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.” 8 So the people took provisions in their hands, and their trumpets. And he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the 300 men. And the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.
9 That same night the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand. 10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant. 11 And you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the armed men who were in the camp. 12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts in abundance, and their camels were without number, as the sand that is on the seashore in abundance. 13 When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.” 14 And his comrade answered, “This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given into his hand Midian and all the camp.”
15 As soon as Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped. And he returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the Lord has given the host of Midian into your hand.” 16 And he divided the 300 men into three companies and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with torches inside the jars. 17 And he said to them, “Look at me, and do likewise. When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. 18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’”
Gideon Defeats Midian
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch. And they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands. 20 Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars. They held in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow. And they cried out, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” 21 Every man stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran. They cried out and fled. 22 When they blew the 300 trumpets, the Lord set every man's sword against his comrade and against all the army. And the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. 23 And the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali and from Asher and from all Manasseh, and they pursued after Midian.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites and capture the waters against them, as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.” So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and they captured the waters as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan. 25 And they captured the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb. Then they pursued Midian, and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon across the Jordan.

Jeremiah 20:7-13
The lesson is read, the people sitting
Reader | A reading from the Book of Jeremiah, beginning with the twentieth chapter, the seventh verse |
7 O Lord, you have deceived me,
and I was deceived;
you are stronger than I,
and you have prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all the day;
everyone mocks me.
8 For whenever I speak, I cry out,
I shout, “Violence and destruction!”
For the word of the Lord has become for me
a reproach and derision all day long.
9 If I say, “I will not mention him,
or speak any more in his name,”
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire
shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.
10 For I hear many whispering.
Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! Let us denounce him!”
say all my close friends,
watching for my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then we can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
11 But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
therefore my persecutors will stumble;
they will not overcome me.
They will be greatly shamed,
for they will not succeed.
Their eternal dishonor
will never be forgotten.
12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,
who sees the heart and the mind,
let me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.
13 Sing to the Lord;
praise the Lord!
For he has delivered the life of the needy
from the hand of evildoers.

A Life Pleasing to God
Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. 8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
9 Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, 11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

Reader | A reading from St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, beginning with the fifth chapter, the fifteenth verse |
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

The Third Lesson
Matthew 10:16-33
The lesson is read, the people sitting
Reader | A reading from the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew, beginning with the tenth chapter, the sixteenth verse |
Persecution Will Come
16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.
Have No Fear
26 “So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
