Almighty and everlasting God, increase in us your gift of faith that, forsaking what
lies behind and reaching out to that which is before, we may run the way of your
commandments and win the crown of everlasting joy; through Jesus Christ your
Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and for ever. Amen.
1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-10
From Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace. We always give thanks to
God for all of you and mention you in our prayers, constantly remembering before
our God and Father your work of faith and labour of love and steadfastness of hope
in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters beloved by God, that he
has chosen you, because our message of the Gospel came to you not in word only,
but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know
what kind of persons we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became
imitators of us and of the Lord, for in spite of persecution you received the word with
joy inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the
believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from
you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has become known, so that we have no need to speak about it. For the people of those regions report about us what kind of welcome we had among you, and how you turned
to God from idols, to serve a living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead – Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath that is
coming.
PSALM 96: 1-9
O sing unto the Lord a ‘ new ‘ song: sing unto the Lord ‘ all the ‘ whole ‘ earth. Sing
unto the Lord and ‘ praise his ‘ Name: be telling of his sal’vation from ’ day to ’ day.
Declare his honour ‘ unto the ’ heathen: and his wonders ’ unto ‘ all ‘ people.
For the Lord is great, and cannot ‘ worthily be ‘ praised: he is more to be ’ feared
than ’ all ‘ gods. As for the gods of the heathen, they ‘ are but ’ idols: but it is the ‘
Lord that ‘ made the ‘ heavens.
Glory and worship ‘ are be’fore him: power and ’ honour are ’ in his ‘ sanctuary.
Ascribe unto the Lord O ye ‘ kindreds of the ‘ people: ascribe unto the ‘ Lord ‘
worship and ‘ power. Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due ‘ unto his ‘ Name: bring
presents and ‘ come ‘ into his ‘ courts.
O worship the Lord in the ‘ beauty of ‘ holiness: let the ‘ whole earth ‘ stand in ‘ awe
of him.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost: as it was in the
beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost: as it was in the
beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
MATTHEW 22: 15-22
When the chief priests and Pharisees had heard the parables, they realized that Jesus was speaking about them. Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in
what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying,
‘Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in
accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with
partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or
not?’ But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, ‘Why are you putting me to the test,
you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.’ And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, ‘Whose head is this, and whose title?’ They answered, ‘The emperor’s.’ Then he said to them, ‘Give therefore to the emperor the
things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ When they
heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.
POST COMMUNION COLLECT
We praise and thank you, O Christ, for this sacred feast: for here we receive you,
here the memory of your passion is renewed, here our minds are filled with grace,
and here a pledge of future glory is given, when we shall feast at that table where
you reign with all your saints for ever. Amen.
MAJESTY
Sung Twice
Majesty, worship his Majesty; unto Jesus be glory, honour and praise!
Majesty, kingdom authority
flow from his throne unto his own; his anthem raise!
So exalt, lift up on high, the name of Jesus;
Magnify, come glorify, Christ Jesus the King.
Majesty, worship his Majesty; Jesus who died, now glorified, King of all kings.
