Pilgrim Worship: Pilgrim Worship Sunday August 14, 2022

Pilgrim Lutheran Church

The Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

August 14, 2022

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 10:30 am Worship Service. Afterward, we gathered for food, conversations, and Adult Bible study, 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!

Here is information about todays worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS

Old Testament: Jeremiah 23:16–29

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP SUNDAY
In the Gospel text today, we find challenging words from our Savior, words to which we’ll give some careful attention. Did Jesus come to bring peace or division? Well, yes. Jesus did and does bring peace, but is it the peace we might want or expect? Jesus does bring division, but what kind and why? Don’t we all just want to get along, and live in a sort of “kumbaya” peace, a harmony among folks who are all essentially good people?

I believe we’ll come to a good understanding in short order, but what question is Jesus asking us, sort of hidden behind all this “division” talk in these verses?
