The Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
August 28, 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: Proverbs 25:2–10
Epistle: Hebrews 13:1–17
Gospel: Luke 14:1–14
Gospel: Luke 14:1–14
OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP
You’ve probably been to a dinner gathering where you could cut the tension with your butter knife. You know, a gathering where someone or a group of people have a “bone to pick” with some others. In the Gospel text for today, Jesus accepts such an invitation, and He is the guest being watched carefully.
This text is so much more than Jesus giving divine advice about party manners. It is not just the next chapter in the Pharisees’ hatred for Him, which leads to Jesus’ crucifixion. Jesus comes to this dinner party intent on healing those who hated Him, and Jesus is still doing this today. Come see where you sit in this text, and what Jesus has for you!
