Pilgrim Lutheran Church
The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
July 4, 2021
Earlier today we celebrated Independence Day at Pilgrim Lutheran Church. No fireworks or speeches about the Good Ol' USA. We celebrated a different and more important independence. You and I have been set free from our sins by Jesus! We are no longer captives, we are no longer slaves! Jesus took your punishment onto Himself and set you free.
OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP TODAY
In our Epistle lesson, Paul gives almost no details about the “thorn in the flesh” given to him, “a messenger of Satan to harass” him. There are several other examples in Scripture of similar situations; perhaps you and I can also be included. Together we will explore this statement: God has a purpose for your pain. Yes, He has a loving purpose and gives us strength to endure!
