Pilgrim Lutheran Church

The Fifth Sunday in Lent

April 3, 2022

We're glad & thankful you've come here to watch our service and 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 10:30 am Worship Service. Afterward, we gathered for food, conversations, and an adult Bible class, in which we're studying Revelation, one of the most fascinating books of the Bible. If you'd like to watch a video of this Bible Study, please contact Pastor Mark. We also have Sunday School for children of all ages, full of activities and teaching of God's love for them!

If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us for any or all of these great events!

Here is information about todays worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR SUNDAY

Old Testament: Isaiah 43:16–21
Psalm: Psalm 126
Epistle: Philippians 3:8–14
Gospel: Luke 20:9–20

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP SUNDAY

In His Parable of the Wicked Tenants, Jesus tells the people including us, about Himself and His Church. The vineyard represents the Israelite nation through history, and Jesus foretells its end along with the destruction of the Temple coming in 70 A.D. Jesus has two audiences as He speaks, and we are His third. Each audience responds very differently. The scribes and chief priests respond in anger and desperation, as Jesus speaks against them, and we’ll explore why Jesus’ words were so pointed and specific toward them. The crowd reacted completely differently, saying “Let these things not happen!” Many of them understood the same things as the Jewish leaders, but God’s coming justice pierces them with fear and sadness.

How do you and I respond? We’ll explore Jesus’ challenging words in verses 17 & 18, and will uncover the saving Gospel message which is rather hidden and not obvious.
