LORD, INCREASE OUR FAITH WORSHIP SERIES

Lord, Increase Our Faith Series: Faith That Delights in Duty

First Reading: 1 Chronicles 29:1-2, 10-18. King David found it a duty and delight to plan the construction of the LORD’s temple.

Second Reading: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-5, 11-12. Saint Paul thanks God that growing faith of the Thessalonians enabled them not only to grow in love for one another, but also to face persecutions.

Gospel: Luke 17: 1-10. Jesus teaches us about the connection between increased faith and an increased sense of duty to God.

Sermon: 1 Chronicles 29: 1-2, 10-18. Who Am I?

When we ask ourselves the question, “Who am I?” we reply as King David did by saying, “I am but a humble servant who has been abundantly blessed by the Lord’s hand and who looks to him to preserve my upright heart.”

May we remain close to our Savior and daily reflect on everything he has done for us so that we always have a faith that delights in our Christian duty. Amen
