SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nTHIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 6\n(18 June 2023)\n\nExodus 19:2–8\nRomans 5:6–15\nMatthew 9:35—10:8 (9–20)\n\nThe Lord Our God Saves Us in Love and Cares for Us by the Ministry of His Gospel\n\nThe holy Triune God “shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners\,” ungodly and at enmity with Him\, “Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). The incarnate Son has justified us by His blood and reconciled us to His God and Father (Rom. 5:9–10). Whereas sin and death originated with Adam\, forgiveness and life abound for all his children through “that one man Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:12–17). As the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt\, so does He bring us to Himself by the Gospel and make of us “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Ex. 19:6) by our Baptism into Christ. For “all that the LORD has spoken” (Ex. 19:8)\, Christ has done for us. As He has gone up to God by His cross and resurrection\, so does He bring us to the Father in Himself (Ex. 19:3–4). Nor does He leave us “harassed and helpless\, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matt. 9:36)\, but He sends men with authority “to heal every disease and every affliction” by His forgiveness of sins (Matt. 10:1). In their proclamation\, “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 10:7).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nFOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 7\n(25 June 2023)\n\nJeremiah 20:7–13\nRomans 6:12–23\nMatthew 10:5a\, 21–33\n\nDelivered from Sin and Death\, You Now Live before God in the Righteousness of Christ\n\nThe outcome of sin is death\, “but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). He has set you free from the slavery of sin and has brought you “from death to life” (Rom. 6:13). No longer are you under the condemnation of the Law\, but you live “under grace” (Rom. 6:14). Such is your courage in the face of “those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul” (Matt. 10:28). For though “you will be hated by all” and maligned by the world for the name of Christ (Matt. 10:22\, 25)\, you abide in the care of your Father in heaven\, who numbers “even the hairs of your head” and values you more “than many sparrows” (Matt. 10:30–31). By the Word of Christ\, you have become like Him\, your Teacher and Master in whom you endure to the end\, and “will be saved” (Matt. 10:22\, 25). For He is with you “as a dread warrior\,” who has overcome your enemies (Jer. 20:11). By the righteousness of faith\, He delivers your heart\, mind\, body and life “from the hand of evildoers\,” and He brings you into the land of the living (Jer. 20:12–13).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nFIFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 8\n(2 July 2023)\n\nJeremiah 28:5–9\nRomans 7:1–13\nMatthew 10:34–42\n\nThe Lord Jesus Brings Division on Earth for the Sake of Peace with God in Heaven\n\nFalse prophets preach what their hearers want to hear\, promising peace even when the Lord has spoken “war\, famine\, and pestilence” (Jer. 28:8). But if “the LORD has truly sent the prophet\,” he speaks what the Lord has spoken\, and “the word of that prophet comes to pass” (Jer. 28:9). The preaching of God’s Law is hard\, because it confronts sin\, brings it to light and makes it worse\, “sinful beyond measure\,” thereby “producing death” in the sinner (Rom. 7:13). But through our Baptism into Christ\, “we are released from the law\, having died to that which held us captive” (Rom. 7:6). Now we belong “to him who has been raised from the dead\, in order that we may bear fruit for God” (Rom. 7:4). Belonging to Him puts us at odds with the world and divides us from all earthly ties\, not only from our human family\, but each person from his own life. For Christ does not come “to bring peace\, but a sword” (Matt. 10:34). Yet\, whoever takes up his cross to follow Christ\, and “loses his life” for Christ’s sake\, finds new life in Him (Matt. 10:38–39).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nSIXTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 9\n(9 July 2023)\n\nZechariah 9:9–12\nRomans 7:14–25a\nMatthew 11:25–30\n\nJesus Christ\, Our Savior\, Is Our True Peace and Sabbath Rest\n\nThough we have died with Christ in Holy Baptism\, and we are raised to new life in Him\, we find “another law waging war” in our body and life\, that is\, between our old Adam and the new man (Rom. 7:23). By the Spirit of Christ\, we “desire to do what is right\,” but we are not able to do so because “nothing good” dwells in our sinful flesh (Rom. 7:18). “Thanks be to God\,” therefore\, “through Jesus Christ our Lord\,” who delivers us from “this body of death” (Rom. 7:24–25). We rejoice in Him\, our gentle King\, who comes “righteous and having salvation” (Zech. 9:9). He speaks peace to our embattled hearts\, and by His blood of the New Testament He sets us “free from the waterless pit\,” and He returns us to the stronghold of our Baptism (Zech. 9:10–12). Though we “labor and are heavy laden\,” He calls us to Himself and gives rest to our souls through His free and full forgiveness (Matt. 11:28)\, not because we are “wise and understanding\,” but by the “gracious will” of God the Father\, whom “the Son chooses to reveal” in love (Matt. 11:25–27).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nSEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 10\n(16 July 2023)\n\nIsaiah 55:10–13\nRomans 8:12–17\nMatthew 13:1–9\, 18–23\n\nThe Preaching of the Word of Christ Bears the Good Fruits of Faith and Love\n\nAs “the rain and the snow come down from heaven” and “water the earth\, making it bring forth and sprout” (Is. 55:10)\, so the Word of God accomplishes the purpose for which He speaks it\, granting joy and peace through the forgiveness of sins and producing the fruits of faith and love in those who are called by His name. Christ Jesus\, the incarnate Word\, has established the name of the Lord as “an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off” (Is. 55:13). He opens our ears to hear\, our minds to understand and our hearts to believe His Word\, lest the evil one come and snatch it away. He thus transforms our rocky hearts into good soil\, which clings to the Gospel and “indeed bears fruit” (Matt. 13:23). He is Himself the firstfruits of all who “have received the Spirit of adoption as sons” (Rom. 8:15). Thus being “led by the Spirit of God\,” we are not afraid\, but we cry out in faith to our Father in heaven (Rom. 8:14–15). For as we suffer with Christ\, the beloved Son\, so shall we “also be glorified with him” (Rom. 8:17).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nEIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 11\n(23 July 2023)\n\nIsaiah 44:6–8\nRomans 8:18–27\nMatthew 13:24–30\, 36–43\n\nThe Word of the Gospel Bestows the Righteousness of Christ and Brings Forth Faith\n\nThe good Seed\, which is “the Son of Man\,” Jesus Himself (Matt. 13:37)\, brings forth a harvest of faith and bears good fruits in “the sons of the kingdom” (Matt. 13:38). Whatever is sown apart from His Word is of the devil\, who plants the weeds of unbelief and sin\, even among the people of God. Thankfully\, the Lord is patient and He does not uproot the weeds\, lest the plants also be destroyed. He lets “both grow together until the harvest” (Matt. 13:30)\, while He continues to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins. Thus\, He preserves His Church in righteousness\, because He alone is “the King of Israel and his Redeemer” (Is. 44:6). Since all things are in His gracious care and keeping\, “fear not\, nor be afraid” (Is. 44:8). For “the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God” (Rom. 8:19)\, and in this hope we also wait with patience. Though we do not yet see it\, “the Spirit helps us in our weakness” (Rom. 8:26) and\, in truth\, “the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Rom. 8:18).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nNINTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 12\n(30 July 2023)\n\nDeuteronomy 7:6–9\nRomans 8:28–39\nMatthew 13:44–52\n\nThe Son of God Has Redeemed Us for Himself with His Holy and Precious Blood\n\nThe Lord our God has chosen us to be “his treasured possession\,” not because of any strength in us\, but solely “because the LORD loves” us (Deut. 7:6–8). He is faithful\, and He “keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments” (Deut. 7:9). He has searched for us and found us in love\, and He has bestowed on us “great value” by the great price that He has paid on the cross (Matt. 13:45–46). In His joy\, He has redeemed us by His cross and gathered us into His kingdom by the Gospel. Now we are “hidden in a field\,” covered by the cross and subject to the persecution of the world (Matt. 13:44)\, not for destruction\, but “to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Rom. 8:29). Since we “are called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:28)\, and because Christ Jesus died\, rose again and lives to intercede for us “at the right hand of God” (Rom. 8:34)\, there is nothing in all creation that can separate us from “the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 8:39).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nTENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 13\n(6 August 2023)\n\nIsaiah 55:1–5\nRomans 9:1–5 (6–13)\nMatthew 14:13–21\n\nChrist Jesus\, the Living Bread from Heaven\, Feeds the Children of God\n\nBy the Gospel of “the Christ\, who is God over all\, blessed forever” (Rom. 9:5)\, we are “the children of God” (Rom. 9:8)\, “not because of works but because of him who calls” (Rom. 9:11). Therefore\, “listen diligently” and “hear\, that your soul may live.” By His sacrificial death in His flesh and blood\, He has made “an everlasting covenant” for us. Since He now calls us to Himself\, we come to Him “and eat what is good\, and delight … in rich food” (Is. 55:2–3). He has come with divine compassion to save us from sin and death and to feed us with Himself. As our Lord Jesus once took bread\, “said a blessing\,” broke the loaves\, “and gave them to the disciples\, and the disciples gave them to the crowds” (Matt. 14:18–19)\, He also now takes bread\, blesses it by His Word to be His very body\, and distributes it to His Church by the hand of His called and ordained servants. Just as “they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces\,” there is more than enough for His whole Church to eat and to be satisfied (Matt. 14:20).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 14\n(13 August 2023)\n\nJob 38:4–18\nRomans 10:5–17\nMatthew 14:22–33\n\nChrist the Crucified Comes to Save Us by the Word of Faith\n\nThe Lord who “laid the foundation of the earth” (Job 38:4) is the Author and Giver of life who governs all things by His Word. His wisdom and power are beyond our understanding\, except as He reveals Himself in the incarnate Word\, Christ Jesus. He has “entered into the springs of the sea” and “walked in the recesses of the deep” (Job 38:16)\, and He draws near to us in mercy. We have been “a long way from the land\, beaten by the waves” and tossed about by hostile winds (Matt. 14:24). In our mortality and sinful unbelief\, we do not always recognize the Lord Jesus. But as we cry out in fear\, He speaks tenderly to us\, “Do not be afraid\,” and He reaches out His hand to save us (Matt. 14:27\, 31). “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13)\, and now we call upon Him in faith\, because we have heard “through the word of Christ” (Rom. 10:17). “The word is near you\, in your mouth and in your heart” (Rom. 10:8).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nTWELFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 15\n(20 August 2023)\n\nIsaiah 56:1\, 6–8\nRomans 11:1–2a\, 13–15\, 28–32\nMatthew 15:21–28\n\nThe Church Lives Under the Cross of Christ and Prays in the Hope of His Mercy\n\nBy her persistent prayer that Jesus would have mercy and help her (Matt. 15:22\, 24)\, and even in the face of His initial silence and apparent rejection (Matt. 15:23–26)\, the Canaanite woman boldly confessed her faith in Him (Matt. 15:27–28). Her beautiful example encourages us to cling to the words and promises of the Gospel\, even in the face of the Law that accuses and condemns us. “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Rom. 11:29)\, and His Law “has consigned all to disobedience” for the very purpose “that he may have mercy on all” (Rom. 11:32). Hence\, the woman’s faith and hope were not disappointed\, but her prayers were answered in the mercy of Christ. Not only does He grant us the crumbs from His table\, but He also feeds us with “the children’s bread” in the house of His Father (Matt. 15:26–27). He has brought us to His “holy mountain\,” and He makes us joyful in His house\, where He hears our prayers and accepts our sacrifice of praise upon the altar of His cross (Is. 56:7).\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\n\nTHIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 16\n(27 August 2023)\n\nIsaiah 51:1–6\nRomans 11:33—12:8\nMatthew 16:13–20\n\nThe Lord Jesus Christ Is the Son of the Living God\n\nJesus asked His disciples: “But who do you say that I am?” (Matt. 16:15). The question is also put to us: Who do you say that He is? Flesh and blood do not reveal this to us\, but by the ministry of the Gospel\, the Father in heaven reveals His Son to us on earth\, who has become flesh and suffered death for our salvation. Thus\, we believe and confess that He is “the Christ\, the Son of the living God” (Matt. 16:16). As He died for our transgressions and was raised for our justification\, He looses us from all our sins and preserves our life within His Church\, against which even “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Matt. 16:18–19). His salvation is forever\, and His righteousness “will never be dismayed” (Is. 51:6). He comforts us with the Gospel in His Church\, so that “joy and gladness will be found in her\, thanksgiving and the voice of song” (Is. 51:3). Therefore\, “according to the measure of faith that God has assigned” (Rom. 12:3)\, we also offer ourselves “as a living sacrifice\, holy and acceptable to God” (Rom. 12:1) through Jesus Christ\, our Lord.\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\nFIFTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 18\n(10 September 2023)\n\nEzekiel 33:7–9\nRomans 13:1–10\nMatthew 18:1–20\n\nLiving as Humble Little Children of the Father\n\nTrue greatness is not self-sufficient strength\, but humility like that of a little child. The greatness of childlike faith receives all good things as gracious gifts from our Father in heaven. Apart from such faith\, “you will never enter the kingdom of heaven\,” but whoever is humbled like a little child will be “the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 18:3–4). Though in our sin we deserve to be “drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matt. 18:6)\, we have instead been drowned (“buried”) with Christ in Baptism and then raised to the new\, humble life of a child of God. The Lord sends His watchman to warn us with a word from His mouth\, in order that we may not die in our iniquity but be turned from our pride and selfishness to live (Ezek. 33:7–9). Thus\, we live in humility and faith before God as well as in love for our neighbor\, which “is the fulfilling of the law” (Rom. 13:10). In the reverent fear of God\, we do no harm to our neighbor\, but we “pay to all what is owed to them” (Rom. 13:7) and we “owe no one anything\, except to love each other” (Rom. 13:8).\n\n\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship

SUMMARY:Divine Worship
DESCRIPTION:Worship Service at 10:30am\n\n\nSIXTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST\nProper 19\n(17 September 2023)\n\nGenesis 50:15–21\nRomans 14:1–12\nMatthew 18:21–35\n\nForgiving as the Lord Forgives Us\n\nIn settling His accounts with us\, our Lord acts not with anger\, but with compassion. He does not imprison us as we deserve\, but He forgives all our debts and releases us (Matt. 18:23–27). Therefore\, our Lord bids each of us to have “mercy on your fellow servant” and “forgive your brother from your heart” (Matt. 18:33\, 35). By the Lord’s forgiveness of our sins\, we are free to forgive those who sin against us\, because He has been handed over to the jailers in our stead and He has paid our entire debt with His lifeblood. Whether we live or die\, we “are the Lord’s” (Rom. 14:8). Since we all will “stand before the judgment seat of God\,” we are not to despise our brother (Rom. 14:10)\, but gladly forgive him. By the grace of God\, our brother also “will be upheld\, for the Lord is able to make him stand” (Rom. 14:4). Though we daily sin against each other\, the Lord intends “to bring it about that many people should be kept alive” (Gen. 50:20). Jesus speaks kindly by His Gospel and promises: “I will provide for you and your little ones” (Gen. 50:21).\n\n\nCoffee Service: Refreshments served after Worship
