Pilgrim Lutheran Church

The Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

September 4, 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: Deuteronomy 30:15–20

Psalm: Psalm 1
Epistle: Philemon 1–21
Gospel: Luke 14:25–35

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP
Jesus, who is God’s Word, calls us to come after Him and to be His disciple. To Christians, this sounds good, and many of us strive and desire to be Jesus’ disciples. But in this difficult text, Jesus points out the costs of discipleship, which may include divisions in our families, renouncing our possessions and all manner of crosses we must bear. From our perspective, the disciple life is costly.

Because this text so directly points us to these harsh truths, we often tend to ignore these words, or give up on discipleship, convinced we can’t afford these costs. Thankfully, we’ll also discover our heavenly Father’s mercy & grace in this text.
