- I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
- And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried, the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
- I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen
- Reading – [Luke 21:10-19 ESV]

- 10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
- 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
- 12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
- 13 This will be your opportunity to bear witness.
- 14 Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
- 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.
- 16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death.
- 17 You will be hated by all for my name’s sake.
- 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.
- 19 By your endurance you will gain your lives.

- Sermon – “Worry”
-
- [Matthew 13:18-22 ESV]
-
- 18 “Hear then the parable of the sower:
- 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.
- 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
- 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.
- 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
