WELCOME TO PEACE WITH CHRIST

LUTHERAN CHURCH!

We give thanks to God that you are joining us today!

Many of our guests are seeking a home church where they
can be part of the Fellowship of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace with Christ is a congregation that is a family not an
“organization”. We are small enough to allow people to
know each other by name, and yet large enough to offer
opportunities for growth and service. What we “specialize”
in is not programs or productions, but simply The Gospel
of Our Lord Jesus. Christ, His Word, and the Cross are
what provide the foundation for faith and ministry. If you
are interested in learning more about Peace With Christ
Lutheran Church, please call the church office at 226-4721.
Pastor Patrick would welcome the opportunity to visit with
you personally.
THE TIME before the service may be used for prayer and
preparation. Read through the worship bulletin and familiarize
yourself with the service. A few moments spent this way will help
make the service more meaningful.

 A READING FROM THE BOOK OF CONCORD
THE LARGE CATECHISM
ORIGINAL SIN
TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Christ redeemed human nature as His work, sanctifies it, raises it

from the dead, and gloriously adorns it as His work. But original
sin He has not created, received, redeemed, or sanctified. He will
not raise it, adorn it, or save it in the elect. In the ‹blessed› resur-
rection original sin will be entirely destroyed [1 Corinthians 15:51-
57]…

On the other hand, we believe, teach, and confess that original sin
is not a minor corruption. It is so deep a corruption of human na-
ture that nothing healthy or uncorrupt remains in man's body or
soul, in his inward or outward powers [Romans 3:10-12]. As the
Church sings:

Through Adam's fall is all corrupt, Nature and essence human.

This damage cannot be fully described [Psalm 19:12]. It cannot be

understood by reason, but only from God's Word. We affirm that
no one but God alone can separate human nature and this corrup-
tion of human nature from each other. This will fully come to pass
through death, in the ‹blessed› resurrection. At that time our na-
ture, which we now bear, will rise and live eternally without origi-
nal sin and be separated and divided from it. As written in Job
19:26-27, "After my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I
shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall be-
hold." (paragraphs 6, 8-10)

Luther Quote: “Spiritual Strength Comes from Union with

Christ: Christ is in earnest when He says that if you believe in
Him, you will abide with Him and He will abide with you. For,
says He, I am in you; and if you lack anything, I have righteous-
ness, holiness, and wisdom in plenty. I have no infirmity. But if
you have weakness, it is in Me: and I will see to it that I relieve it
and drown your weakness in My power and strength, submerge
your sin in My righteousness, and devour your death by My life.”

Macau – August 1-15

LCMS World Mission began work in Macau in 1988. LCMS
missionaries established Concordia English Center. The
center uses a combination of English-as-a-Foreign-
Language teaching, small-group Bible studies, and vari-
ous fellowship activities to gather and evangelize both
Cantonese residents of Macau and Mandarin-speaking
migrant workers from surrounding areas.
Daily Prayers:

Sunday: For the Chinese Christians who come to the Concordia

English Center and St. Paul’s Church. Pray that they would be-
come strong leaders at the English Center, the church, and in the
community.

Monday: For the development of two new similar English Cen-

ters in nearby Hong Kong. Ask God to bless their first year of op-
eration and that many students will come to learn English and
hear the Gospel.

Tuesday: For Pastor Young and Joanna, the pastor and evangel-
ist at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, that God would give them guid-
ance in leading the church in Macau.

Wednesday: For the ministry of short-term mission teams com-

ing to Macau and Hong Kong. May the short-term missionaries
have many opportunities to share the Gospel with the students
and positively impact the ongoing ministry in Macau and Hong
Kong.

Thursday: For the people of Macau, that they would turn from
their idols of money, false gods, ancestors, and self, and turn to
the one True God, who brings eternal life through Jesus’ death
and resurrection.

Friday: For the Lord to provide more missionaries to work in the

harvest field of Macau. Every year, the Center could use many
more short-term missionaries and GEO missionaries to meet the
needs of the ministry there.

Saturday: For even more short-term teams to answer the Lord’s

call to serve for one or two weeks in Macau or Hong Kong, tak-
ing advantage of the doors that God has opened at many schools
and English Centers to share the Gospel with students.
