Pilgrim Worship Sunday March 9, 2025

 

Christ in the Wilderness  Ivan Kramskoi  1837

Pilgrim Lutheran Church

The First Sunday in Lent

March 9, 2025

We're thankful you've come here to watch our service and to worship the one true God!

This was another exciting Sunday at Pilgrim Lutheran Church!  Once again, we had lots of great activities going on, starting with our Adult Bible study at 9:15 am, then our 10:30 am Worship service.  Afterward, we gathered for food and conversations, while the children enjoyed Sunday School.  These classes are full of activities and teaching, so the children learn how much God loves them!

If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us on Sunday mornings!  Anyone can watch our services live on Facebook or later on Pilgrim's website.

Here is information about this worship service:

BIBLE READINGS
  Old Testament:  Deuteronomy 26:1–11
               Psalm:  Psalm 91:1–13
               Epistle: Romans 10:8b–13
              Gospel:  Luke 4:1–13

THEME FOR WORSHIP
Today’s gospel reading takes place at the very beginning of Jesus’ adult earthly ministry, following immediately after His baptism in the Jordan river.  Jesus was “full of the Holy Spirit”, Who led Him into the wilderness, to be intentionally and severely tempted by the devil.  Jesus waged His war against Satan for us, and He gives these victories to you and to me!  By your baptism, Jesus strengthens you in your struggles and gives you victory & rest.

The Transformation of Our Lord

March 2, 2025

We're thankful you've come here to watch our service and to worship the one true God!

This was another exciting Sunday at Pilgrim Lutheran Church!  Once again, we had lots of great activities going on, starting with our Adult Bible study at 9:15 am, then our 10:30 am Worship service.  Afterward, we gathered for food and conversations, while the children enjoyed Sunday School.  These classes are full of activities and teaching, so the children learn how much God loves them!

BIBLE READINGS
  Old Testament:  Deuteronomy 34:1–12
               Psalm:  Psalm 99
              Epistle:  Hebrews 3:1–6
              Gospel:  Luke 9:28–36

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP
God’s Epiphany drama, the revealing of Jesus His Son, reaches its glorious climax today on Mount Nebo in the Transfiguration of Our Lord.  From here, we travel down off the mountain and through the valley of Lent.  We move from glory to suffering, a trip with which we’re all too familiar in our daily lives.  But the dazzling glory we see in Jesus today is not extinguished, even though His human form returns to Him.  You will see Jesus’ glory shining even more powerfully on Good Friday at the moment Jesus bears your sin-punishment.  You’ll see Jesus’ glorious bodily resurrection on Easter morning, which guarantees your bodily resurrection when Jesus gloriously returns on the Last Day.
