Pilgrim Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod)
Burton, Michigan
We worship together, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
All of our mid-week worship services during the season of Lent are organized under God's invitation to us: “Return to the Lord your God for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and He relents over disaster” (Joel 2:13b).
Our worship service tonight will follow the theme of "Return from False Witness". We will follow Jesus as He allows Himself to be subjected to a sham "trial" in front of Caiaphas the high priest with the scribes and elders. Jesus endured this mockery of justice, including slander, false accusations and physical violence; why? In part, to set a perfect example for us when we are faced with false testimony from others. But most importantly, because this was His Father's plan to fulfill all prophecies and to redeem you, me and all sinners. Jesus is the "Lamb without imperfection" who in a few hours would die an innocent death and be the perfect sacrifice for all of our sins.
Tonight, God calls us repent of false testimony and our other 8th commandment sins, and to Return to Him, from False Witness.
Remember, we will be worshiping in-person every Wednesday in Lent, beginning at 7pm. Videos of these services will be posted online as quickly as practical following these services.
NEXT WEDNESDAY'S THEME: "Return from Denial"
