Divine Service

Divine Service begins at 9:00 AM on Sunday. We follow the traditional liturgy found in The Lutheran Service Book. We sing many of the greatest hymns in the history of Christianity.

August 9 – Tenth Sunday After Trinity

Luke 19:45–46 – “And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them, ‘It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.’” The sellers in the temple were doing the right thing in the wrong place. Being a merchant is a fine occupation that is pleasing to God. But using the Lord’s house for your personal gain? That makes a mockery of what the church is for. This is God’s house, where we come to hear His Word and worship Him in word and deed. We’re not looking for a profit here — we’re looking to give back and support the preaching of God’s Word and the church’s care for the poor and needy.

Readings for this week are; Old Testament Jeremiah 7: 1-11, Epistle 1 Corinthians 12:1-11, Gospel Luke 19:41-48

A great way to prepare for Sunday Divine Service is to listen to the “Looking forward to Sunday Morning (One Year Lectionary) on Issues, Etc.
