After Pentecost | Tuesday 15 Oct 2024
+ In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening:
O God, our refuge and strength,
true source of all godliness:
Graciously hear the devout prayers of your Church,
and grant that those things which we ask faithfully,
we may obtain effectually;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The smoke from the incense
went up from the angel’s hand to God
along with the prayers of God’s people.
(Revelation 8:4)

From Psalms: Psalm 26 // Psalm 26 · Ben & Noelle Kilgore
I have trusted in You, O Lord.
Therefore I shall not slide
Search my heart and affections, Lord.
Your lovingkindness before my eyes.
You washed Your hands with my innocence
I fall at Your altar
And I’ll sing with thanksgiving
And tell of Your wondrous good
Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia to the Lord most high
I love to be in Your house, O Lord
Where Your glory and honor dwell
Gather not my soul with darkness, God
Of Your redemption I live to tell
Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia to the Lord most high
You are merciful, O Lord
From the top of my lungs I sing
You place my feet on an even place
To You, my rescuing King
Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia to the Lord most high

OT Reading: Obadiah 10-16 (GW)
Why Edom Will Be Destroyed
10 “Because of the violence you did to Jacob, your relative,
you will be covered with shame.
You will be destroyed forever.
While you stood there doing nothing,
strangers carried off Jacob’s wealth.
Foreigners entered his gates and threw dice for Jerusalem.
You acted like one of them.
Don’t gloat over your relative’s misfortune
or be happy when the people of Judah are destroyed.
Don’t brag so much when they’re in distress.
Don’t march through the gates of my people when disaster strikes
or gloat over their misery when disaster strikes.
Don’t take their wealth when disaster strikes.
Don’t stand at the crossroads to kill their refugees.
Don’t hand over their survivors when they’re in distress.
The Day of the Lord
15 “The day of the Lord is near for all nations.
Edom, you will be treated as you have treated others.
You will get back what you have given.
As you, Israel, drank on my holy mountain,
so all nations will drink in turn.
They will drink and guzzle down everything in it.
They will be like those who have never existed.

NT Reading: Revelation 8:1-5 (GW)
The Lamb Opens the Seventh Seal
8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Seven Angels with Seven Trumpets
8:2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand in God’s presence, and they were given seven trumpets. Another angel came with a gold incense burner and stood at the altar. He was given a lot of incense to offer on the gold altar in front of the throne. He offered it with the prayers of all of God’s people. The smoke from the incense went up from the angel’s hand to God along with the prayers of God’s people. The angel took the incense burner, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth. Then there was thunder, noise, lightning, and an earthquake.

Holy Spirit, breath of God and fire of love, I cannot pray without your aid: Kindle in me the fire of your love, and illumine me with your light; that with a steadfast will and holy thoughts I may approach the Father in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ my Lord, who reigns with you and the Father in eternal union. Amen.
Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth.
+ Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.
+ Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer.
+ For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Sovereign Lord: We pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
+ Do what only you can do to make your faithful people the blessing promised to every family on earth.
+ Protect them from the assaults of the evil one, coming from every direction and in every form.
+ Grant your heavenly wisdom to Israel’s leadership; give them the courage to do what’s right in your sight.
+ Comfort all those who mourn the loss of loved ones; deliver the hostages from captivity and restore their souls.
+ Destroy every stronghold and every expression of the evil death cult terrorizing the Middle East.
+ Protect the Israel Defense Forces and every soldier engaged in their mission to root out this evil.
+ Strengthen the Messianic communities; use them to restore your faithful people to their proper place in your kingdom.
+ Unify your faithful people around your promise to Abraham – to bless every family on earth through them.
+ Intervene in the Middle East in ways that only you can; protect the innocent and punish the guilty, that all may live in peace.
We ask in Jesus’ name.
O God, our heavenly Father, you manifested your love by sending your only-begotten Son into the world, that all might live through him: Pour out your Spirit on your Church, that we may fulfill his command to preach the Gospel to all people. Send forth laborers into your harvest; defend them in all dangers and temptations; and hasten the time when the fullness of the Gentiles shall be gathered in, and faithful Israel shall be saved; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
