August 28 – Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost (August 28, 2022)

“What Sacrifice Looks Like” – Hebrews 13:1-17

Sacrifice. God has commanded the life of His people to be one of sacrifice. What that looks like has changed because of Christ’s perfect sacrifice for us on His cross. What does God expect of His people today? A lot. But we are capable of offering a sacrifice pleasing to God because we have Christ on our side!

August 21 – Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (August 21, 2022)

“The Narrow but Open Door” – Luke 13:22-30

Jesus lays down the truth of salvation. Those who try to find a back door into heaven won’t find it. Instead the narrow door will be closed and people will be begging to be let in. Yes, our Lord promises that He *has* opened the door and propped it open with His cross. Trust in the Lord and He will bring you through the narrow but open door!

August 14 – Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost (August 14, 2022)

“Pilgrims Who Persevere” – Hebrews 12:1-13

Many thanks to Pastor John Fuchs, Emeritus, for preaching for Pastor Augustine again for this service. As Christians, we life by faith, not by sight, in this ever changing world. By God’s grace, we persevere as Christ did for us and our salvation. Jesus endures the cross for our sins. So let us continue in the strength and confidence the Lord provides to live the love He has bestowed upon us!

Due to video volunteers on vacation, this week’s service is not available. The following video service is from LCMS-based “Main Street Living” with the Rev. Mark Meier from Messiah & Grace Lutheran Churches in La Crescent and Stockton, MN.

August 7 – Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost (August 7, 2022)

“Pilgrims By Faith” – Hebrews 11:8-16

Pastor John Fuchs, Emeritus, preaches for Pastor Augustine who is on vacation. The book of Hebrews is an amazing commentary on the Old Testament now fulfilled in Christ. Chapter 11 is known as the “great faith” chapter of the Bible. We hear of the example of Abraham and Sarah who were pilgrims to the land God would provide to them and their descendants. They lived by faith in God’s promises, and so do we. Life on this earth is but a pilgrimage to a better land; the land of heaven!
