Wednesday Lenten Vespers

March 19, 2025

We're thankful you've come here to watch our service and to worship the one true God!

Here is information about this worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS

     Old Testament: Genesis 3:1-24

          Psalm: Psalm 143

         Epistle: 1 Peter 5:6-11

        Gospel: Luke 9:37-43, 11:14-23

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP

Adam and Eve took the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil into their hands after listening to the deception of the crafty serpent. Since that time, the devil has attempted to hold humanity in his clutches like a strong man. No one can escape, so God the Father sent Jesus His Son, one stronger than the strong man, to bind him, and plunder his possessions. 

Christ has bound the devil in order to release us and bring us into His loving care.  Jesus overcame the devil’s temptation in the desert and cast out demons, and He was faithful to go all the way the cross to defeat the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh.  Though the devil still “prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour,” his days are numbered.  Christ Himself will restore and strengthen you.

THE STRONG HAND OF SATAN HOLDS ALL CAPTIVE, 

    BUT THE STRONGER HAND OF JESUS SETS YOU FREE!

The Second Sunday in Lent

March 16, 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!  Once again, we had lots of great activities going on, starting with our Adult Bible study at 9:15 am, then our 10:30 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 later on Pilgrim's website.

Here is information about this worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS

Old Testament:   Jeremiah 26:8–15

             Psalm:   Psalm 4

             Epistle:   Philippians 3:17–4:1

            Gospel:   Luke 13:31–35

THEME FOR WORSHIP

Like all of God’s prophets, including Pastors and all others who speak God’s judgement over sin, today Jeremiah finds himself in hot water.  Jeremiah boldly spoke God’s judgment and His mercy for His people, and they didn’t want to hear either one.  In fact, they wanted to kill Jeremiah for pointing out their own sins and calling them to God’s mercy.  Sadly, this resistance exists strongly today, even in your own heart and in mine.

Wednesday Lenten Vespers

We're thankful you've come here to watch our service and to worship the one true God!

Here is information about this worship service:

SCRIPTURE READINGS
Old Testament:  Job 9:1-12
             Psalm:  Psalm 8
            Epistle:  Ephesians 2:1-10
           Gospel:  Matthew 14:22-33

OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP

When Peter walked out onto the water, he began to sink as he took his eyes off Jesus. But the Lord was quick to reach His hand down to save him. When Christ walked on the water, He demonstrated that He is God in the flesh, through whom all things were created. It is all the work of His hands. In saving Peter, He also showed that He is compassionate. In our helpless state, Christ has reached down to pull us from the pit of despair.
