The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost
September 14, 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've returned to our regular Sunday schedule, starting with Adult Bible class at 9:15 am and then our 10:30 am Worship service. Today we worshiped outside in our pavilion! 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
Old Testament: Ezekiel 34:11–24
Psalm: Psalm 119:169–176
Epistle: 1 Timothy 1:12–17
Gospel: Luke 15:1–10
THEME FOR WORSHIP
OK, so our modern society, at least where you and I live, has moved on and “progressed” from that of the 6th century Israelites to whom Ezekiel is initially speaking. The same can be said regarding the 1st century crowd listening to Jesus reveal that He is the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 sheep in the open country to seek and save the one lost sheep, and then joyfully brings it home & celebrates with His friends.
Even though we don’t live around sheep & shepherds, God uses this picture-language to show how He, in the person of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ deals with us. Ezekiel points us back to king David, and also points us forward to David’s greater son, Jesus Christ.
