Pilgrim Lutheran Church

The Second Sunday in Advent

December 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 today's worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR TODAY

Old Testament: Isaiah 11:1–10

Psalm: Psalm 72:1–7
Epistle: Romans 15:4–13
Gospel: Matthew 3:1–12

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP TODAY

A diptych painting is an artistic genre where there are two panels joined together by a common theme or storyline. The two panels inform and teach each other. In the Old Testament text for today we have a similar situation. We have two prophecies, joined together by a common person and by a covenant promise. If this text were a painting, we might title it “Justice and Peace”.

You and I live in constant tension, in many ways. Our lives are triptych paintings. We live in a sinful, mostly Godless world at the same time as we live in the mercy & grace of our heavenly Father. We look forward to celebrating Jesus’ first Advent, while we wait & long for His second coming. How can we find comfort and peace in our Advent lives today?
