Catechesis for September 10 2006 13th Sunday after Trinity

Begin with Luther’s Morning Prayer

Recite the Books of the Bible
Moses wrote the Pentateuch – first five books. 12 books of history, 5 books of poetry, 5 major prophets, 12 minor prophets. Gospels – first 4 books of the New Testament. Acts & Romans are the NT books of history. When you hear Matthew 5,6,7 – what does it make you think of?

New Lesson This is the Trinity season. It is the non-festival part of the church year. The color on the altar is green because this is considered ordinary time – the time of growth. It is the longest part of the church year. This Sunday is the 13th Sunday after Trinity. What do you think next Sunday will be called?

Memorize & Review:
Let each his lesson learn with care, and all the household well shall fare

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble”. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. 1 Peter 5: 5-6



What is Baptism? Baptism is not just plain water, but it is the water included in God’s command and combined with God’s word.

NEW MEMORY WORK Which is that word of God? Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Matthew: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19

Explain, read and enact the Gospel lesson: Luke 10: 23-37 (Jesus is the Good Samaritan – He rescues us as we have been beaten down by sin and evil desires. He bandages our wounds/pours oil on us in Holy Baptism) (Jesus is also the Man who is beaten up for us. By His stripes we are healed)

Memorize TLH 297 The Gospel Shows the Father’s Grace

The Gospel shows the Father’s grace, Who sent His Son to save our race,
Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That man might thus be justified.

It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th’atoning sacrifice,
And calls the souls with guilt opprest To come and find eternal rest.

It brings the Savior’s righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress;
From all our guilt it brings release And gives the troubled conscience peace.

It is the pow’r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave;
It works the faith, which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings.
