After Pentecost | Saturday 01 Jul 2023

+ In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Opening:

Lord of all power and might,
the author and giver of all good things:
Graft in our hearts the love of your Name,
increase in us true faith and worship,
nourish us with all goodness,
and bring forth in us the fruit of good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus: “Even if that person wrongs you
seven times a day and each time
turns again and asks forgiveness,
you must forgive.”
(Luke 17:4)

From Psalms: Psalm 89 | Poor Bishop Hooper

i will sing of your steadfast love
forever forever
young and old they will all hear of
forever forever
unfailing love and faithfulness
forever forever
enduring as the heavens
forever forever

you have said of your chosen one
forever forever
to your servant david sworn
forever forever
i will make your sons as kings
forever forever
they will have the throne for eternity
forever forever

the north the south you created them
forever forever
and you hold it all in your strong right hand
forever forever
righteousness and justice
forever forever
are the foundation where your throne sits
forever

and to the godly ones you spoke of old
forever forever
it is david i have exalted
forever forever
with my holy oil i anointed him
forever forever
so that my hand can be established
forever forever

oh lord how long will this go on
forever forever
oh lord how long will your anger burn
forever forever
where’s your steadfast love of old
forever forever
the love you swore to david’s own
forever forever

OT Reading: Jeremiah 28:1-4 (NLT)

Jeremiah Condemns Hananiah

28:1 One day in late summer of that same year—the fourth year of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah—Hananiah son of Azzur, a prophet from Gibeon, addressed me publicly in the Temple while all the priests and people listened. He said, “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will remove the yoke of the king of Babylon from your necks. Within two years I will bring back all the Temple treasures that King Nebuchadnezzar carried off to Babylon. And I will bring back Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the other captives that were taken to Babylon. I will surely break the yoke that the king of Babylon has put on your necks. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”

Teachings about Forgiveness and Faith

17:1 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting! It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin. So watch yourselves!

“If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive. Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”
