MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE

MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE, New Ulm, Minneso ta

To the glory of God and for the good of his Church!

Dear sisters and brothers in our risen Lord Jesus!

Welcome to Comm enceme nt at Martin Luther College. As at other colleges, you will see graduates and gowns, faculties and flowers, diplomas and dignitaries. But look more closely at these graduates, and you will see the glory of God on display!

As we worship today, each graduate confesses, I praise you because I am fearful ly and wonderfully made. Each believe, We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. Each recognizes that a diplom a brings the Lord glory,f or it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

Each has been touched by the Spirit with a desire to serve. Whether they receive an assignment today, continue their training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, teach overseas, enter a different vocation or college, or prayerfully wait on the Lord, they see their lives as opportunities to share the good news they've been given, as Christ says: You are my witnesses. These graduates are gifts of God to his people, and he will certainly use them and the training they have received for the good of his Church.

Thank you for the prayers and encouragement you have offered to our graduates. May our dear Savior Jesus walk with them as they carry the Word to the world. May he walk with all of us as we live in the light of his grace, to his glory, and for the good of his Church!

In our risen Lord Jesus,

?Y(~~-~· President Mark d/za rl~

Sermon: Christian, Courage Is Your Character!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Choir: Still, My Soul, Be Still

Words and music by Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, and Stuart Townend Arranged by James Koerts

Still, my soul, be still and do not fear though winds of change may rage tomorrow.

God is at your side; no longer dread the fires of unexpected sorrow.

God, you are my God, and I will trust in you and not be shaken.

Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in you alone.

Still, my soul, be still; do not be moved by lesser lights and fleeting shadows.

Hold on to his ways, with shield of faith against temptatio n's flaming arrows.

God, you are my God, and I will trust in you and not be shaken.

Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in you alone.

Still, my soul; do not forsake the truth you learned in the beginning.

Wait upon the Lord, and hope will rise as stars appear when day is dimming.

God, you are my God, and I will trust in you and not be shaken.

Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in you alone.

0 Father most gracious, bring us together in the name of Jesus, that in him we might be a spiritual temple, that founded on him we might be built together as living stones; that in him we might offer to you the spiritual service of praise and thanksgiving, of lives lived in your love, of proclaiming your words and work, and of sharing your gifts to us.

C:

The works of the Lord are great and glorious. Tell of all his wonderful deeds!

M:

0 Father eternal, you have sent out an invitation; you have prepared a great feast that all might enter the courts of your presence and the mansions of your paradise. Grant to us your blessing and peace, that we may be witnesses of your truth, the reflection of your glory, and the ambassadors of your kingdom.

The works of the Lord are great and glorious. May our mouths be filled with his praise!

Sing:

From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Let the Redeemer's name be sung Through every land, by every tongue!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Choir: Lord God, You Have Called Your Servants

Music by Aaron McDennid

Lord God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending; by paths as yet untrod, through perils unknown.

Give us faith to go out with courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Reading of Assignments Closing Hymn: God's Word Is Our Great Heritage God's Word is our great heritage And shall be ours forever; To spread its light from age to age Shall be our chief endeavor.

Through life it guides our way; In death it is our stay.

Lord, grant while worlds endure, We keep its teachings pure Throughout all generations. Amen.

*****

Almighty God, who by your Son Jesus Christ, gave command to the apostles that they should go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature: grant to us whom you have called into your church a ready will to obey your Word, and fill us with a hearty desire to make your way known upon earth, your saving health among all nations. Look with compassion upon the multitudes that are scattered as sheep having no shepherd. 0 heavenly Father, Lord of the harvest, have respect, we beseech you, to our prayers, and send forth laborers into your harvest. Fit and prepare them by your grace for the work of the ministry; give them the Spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind; strengthen them to endure hardness and grant that your Holy Spirit may prosper their work, and they by their life and doctrine may show forth your glory, and set forward the salvation of all people; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
