Pilgrim Lutheran Church

The Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

August 17, 2025

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!  We're now in our Summer Schedule starting with our 9:30 am Worship service.  Afterward, we gathered for food and conversations, 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 on Pilgrim's website.

Here is information about this worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS

In the Gospel text today, we find challenging words from our Savior, words to which we’ll give some careful attention.  Did Jesus come to bring peace or division?  Well, yes.  Jesus did and does bring peace, but is it the peace we might want or expect?  Jesus does bring division, but what kind and why?  Don’t we all just want to get along, and live in a sort of “kumbaya” peace, a harmony among folks who are all essentially good people?

I believe we’ll come to a good understanding in short order, but what question is Jesus asking us, sort of hidden behind all this “division” talk in these verses?
