THE SIXTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY

O LORD, we beseech thee, let thy continual pity cleanse and defend thy Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without thy succour, preserve it evermore by thy help and goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EPISTLE Ephes. 3. 13
I DESIRE that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

THE GOSPEL S. Luke 7. 11
And it came to pass the day after, that Jesus went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

The message sunday was amazing. So good that I can't really express it. So I guess I won't. But you know that love is all that matters, and frankly you can't love and hang out in evil places. You will be corrupted in rudeness, that's just how the internet does. Pastor spends a long time to prepare his message I cannot just recite it so easily.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. (John 4)

He broke down every little thing how amazing it is. How the nobleman believes twice, once on the word of Christ, and then he believes again, on what? On Christ Himself. And that's the ascension. Here's a nobleman who is travelling 25km just to get to Jesus because his son is dying, and Jesus only gives him conformation. Jesus gave me conformation and I believe it. Even as I travel my way back 25km I will believe. You cannot separate God from His Word. If He saves he has sealed you, even when things are dark, we know we will see the miracle when any darkness passes.

When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. (Deuteronomy 8)

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. (Matthew 14)

And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. (Mark 14)

GRACE BEFORE AND AFTER MEET.

Be present at our table, Lord.
Be here and everywhere adored:
Bless these Thy gifts and grant that we
May feast in paradise with Thee. Amen.

We thank Thee, Lord, for this our food,
For life, and health, and every good:
May manna to our souls be given.
The bread of life sent down from heaven. Amen.

THE FIFTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY

THE COLLECT
KEEP, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy church with thy perpetual mercy; and, because the frailty of man without thee cannot but fall, keep us ever by thy help from all things hurtful, and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EPISTLE. Gal. 6. 11
YE see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

THE GOSPEL. S. Matth. 6. 24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

R: 3 / I: 2 / P: 1

Paul was a first century christian. He wrote a letter to the church in Galatia, which is modern day central and southern Turkey. He wrote this in 50 AD:

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. (Galatians 5)

Being led by the Spirit may seem like a mystery, it's mystical. But Paul demystifies it, and tells us exactly what it means. When we have received the holy Spirit, what it means to walk in the Spirit. But how can we walk in the Spirit without the Spirit? We cannot. One can hardly accomplish it with the Spirit in them, because their flesh fights against it, all their sinful flesh that they've built up fights against the new birth and new man. But unless you see the fruit of the Spirit, do not be deceived; salvation comes with the receiving of the holy Spirit: not my opinion, not my choice of how reality works, this is just how it is by God's own words, His will, His way. One can be a very nice person, one can worship God, and one can say he excretes joy and love and peace and temperance (though probably doesn't) and we can say we have no wrath or hatred or uncleanness or lasciviousness in us, and we don't emulate. Again, any honest person knows how short they fall. But we cannot be our saviours.

In the Third year of Jesus' public ministry (30 AD):

And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? there are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. (Luke 17)

Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. Samaritans were looked down on because, while being Jews, they were ethnically mixed with Assyrians; and were not as religiously informed. However these ten lepers, it's safe to assume some were Jews, Luke and Jesus point out the Samaritan. Therefore while Jews and Samaritans would not walk with one another, when you become a leper that rule suddenly changes. Lepers weren't allowed in cities, so they had to live on their own in their little groups on the outside; and only then did the racial divide suddenly become useless. Ethnicity isn't going to matter on judgement day. It doesn't matter when we're covered in sin: the same as everyone else.
Jesus never said He'd cleanse the lepers, He only told them to go show themselves to the priests. By faith they went and were healed. Jesus never said stop and come back and give thanks. But the one who did is greatest. God isn't interested in robots. We get that with people who don't understand how to read the Bible, they don't read it in a personal living way but in some dry mechanical dead way. God is the God of the living. Now we have been told, thank you Jesus, take the time to thank Jesus, and don't just follow commandments for the sake of religion. But we need a relationship with the Son of God.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, give unto us the increase of faith, hope, and charity; and, that we may obtain that which thou dost promise, make us to love that which thou dost command; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EPISTLE Galatians 5. 16
I SAY then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
