The Calling of Saint Matthew, Caravaggio,
1599-1600
The Second Sunday after Pentecost
June 11, 2023
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! Anyone can watch our services live on Facebook or later on Pilgrim's website.
Here is information about today's worship service:
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Old Testament: Hosea 5:15–6:6
Psalm: Psalm 119:65–72
Epistle: Romans 4:13–25
Gospel: Matthew 9:9–13
Epistle: Romans 4:13–25
Gospel: Matthew 9:9–13
THEME FOR WORSHIP
Jesus’ calling of Matthew is afforded only the fewest of words in today’s Gospel text, followed by the brief description of table fellowship at Matthew's home. The Pharisees took great exception to this entire scene. In turn, Jesus also calls them to discipleship, calling them to turn from the sinfulness in their own hearts and lives. What is Jesus teaching you & me, as He continues calling us to lives of discipleship?
