The Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity
September 13, 2026
(Isaiah 41:8–10, NIV84) “But you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Scripture is filled with hope. God called the physical descendants of Abraham to be his people.
He has also called all spiritual descendants of Abraham, everyone who believes in Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham, to be his people. And every promise he made will be fulfilled.
Can we find greater hope and promise than what the Word of God tells us?
“‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Prayer
Grant, we beseech thee, merciful Lord, to thy faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins and serve thee with a mind at peace. This we ask through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Amen
