Grace Lutheran Church
Online Worship for the Third Sunday of Easter
April 18, 2021
|
|
In Person Outdoor Worship Sundays at 9:30 a.m.
|
|
The gospel for the third Sunday of Easter is always one in which the risen Christ shares food with the disciples, meals that are the Easter template for the meal we share each Sunday. In today’s gospel, Jesus both shares the disciples’ food and shows them the meaning of his suffering, death, and resurrection through the scriptures, the two main elements of our Sunday worship.

Easter Proclamation
Opening Song | “Children of God”
Praise to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Our God and our King to Him we will sing
In His great mercy He has given us life
Now we can be called the children of God
Great is the love that the Father has given us
He has delivered us
He has delivered us
Children of God sing your song and rejoice
For the love that He has given us all
Oh children of God
By the blood of His Son we have been redeemed
And we can be called children of God
Children of God
The mystery is revealed to the universe
The Father above has proven His love
Now we are free from the judgment that we deserve
So we are called the children of God
Great is the love that the Father has given us
He has delivered us
He has delivered us
Children of God sing your song and rejoice
For the love that He has given us all
Oh children of God
By the blood of His Son we have been redeemed
And we can be called children of God
Children of God
We are the saints
We are the children
We've been redeemed
We've been forgiven
We are the sons and daughters of our God
We are the saints
We are the children
We've been redeemed
We've been forgiven
We are the sons and daughters of our God
Children of God sing your song and rejoice
For the love that He has given us all
Oh children of God
By the blood of His Son we have been redeemed
And we can be called children of God
(We are the saints, We are the children)
(We've been redeemed, We've been forgiven)
Children of God
(We are the sons and daughters of our God)
Children of God
(We are the saints, We are the children)
(We've been redeemed, We've been forgiven)
Children of God
(We are the sons and daughters of our God)
We are the saints
We are the children
We've been redeemed
We've been forgiven
We are the sons and daughters of our God

Prayer of the Day
Holy and righteous God, you are the author of life, and you adopt us to be your children. Fill us with your words of life, that we may live as witnesses to the resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Scripture
Acts 3:12-19
1 John 3:1-7
Luke 24:36-48
Sermon | Pastor Steve Otte
Song | “Thine Is the Glory” ELW 376
1. Thine is the glory,
risen, conqu’ring Son;
endless is the vict’ry
thou o’er death hast won!
Angels in bright raiment
rolled the stone away,
kept the folded graveclothes
where the body lay.
Thine is the glory,
risen, conqu’ring Son;
endless is the vict’ry
thou o’er death hast won!
|
|
2. Lo, Jesus Meets thee,
risen from the tomb!
Lovingly he greets thee,
scatters fear and gloom;
let his church with gladness
hymns of triumph sing,
for the Lord now liveth;
death hath lost its sting!
Thine is the glory,
risen, conqu’ring Son;
endless is the vict’ry
thou o’er death hast won!
3. No more we doubt thee,
glorious Prince of life;
life is naught without thee;
aid us in our strife;
make us more than conqu’rors,
through thy deathless love;
bring us safe through Jordan
to thy home above.
Thine is the glory,
risen, conqu’ring Son;
endless is the vict’ry
thou o’er death hast won!
Apostles’ Creed
Intercessory Prayer
Closing Song | “Your Grace Is Enough”
Great is Your faithfulness O God
You wrestle with the sinner's restless heart
You lead us by still waters into mercy
And nothing can keep us apart
(So) remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Great is Your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along
(So) remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
(So) remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Yeah Your grace is enough
Heaven reaches out to us
Your grace is enough for me
God I sing Your grace is enough
I'm covered in Your love
Your grace is enough for me for me
