The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
September 10, 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 9:30 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:
BIBLE READINGS FOR THIS SERVICE
Old Testament: Ezekiel 33:7–9
Psalm: Psalm 32:1–7
Epistle: Romans 13:1–10
Gospel: Matthew 18:1–20
Epistle: Romans 13:1–10
Gospel: Matthew 18:1–20
OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP
Almost every one of us would like to be known as “the greatest” at something. In February 1964, a brash young boxer named Cassius Clay [later, Mohammed Ali] famously proclaimed “I am the greatest!”. Ali was an exceptional boxer; many would say he deserved his self-proclaimed title. In today’s Gospel text, Jesus’ disciples asked Him a related question: “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”. Doubtless, each wanted to be so known. Today we’ll consider greatness, the second of four ways in which we’re tempted to keep our minds set on the things of man rather than the things of God.
