​​Last Sunday of the Church Year (November 22)
​When Christ comes again, will you be on His right or His left?  It makes a big difference eternally.  We tend to think of sins that we commit, but are there things we also omit (leave out) which are sins equally as damning?  What role does God's grace play in the judgment? ​
​Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost (November 15)
​What have you done with the Christian life God has given you?  Have you tucked it away, hidden from the world, to be retrieved only in case of emergency?  Is it a living, growing faith and life which is on display for all to see that you are a child of God and of the light of His grace?  Examine your stewardship of God's gifts before the day of the Lord and Christ's return.
Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost (November 8)
Eager for the day of the Lord to come?  How is your faith -- weak, strong, non-existent?  Christ, when He comes in glory, will be looking for the faith He has given you to be active, employed in good works, used to the glory of His kingdom.  For those who believe in Him it will be wonderful.  For those who just want to look good in a pew or on a roster, not so much.

​All Saints' Day  (November 1)
A celebration of what Christ has gifted to those who have lived by faith and died under grace.  The resurrected Jesus gives His death and His everlasting life to His people, those who are mercifully called children of God.

​ Observance of Reformation Day 
​(October 25)
Many Christians want to be good enough for God by doing good things to overcome the evil they do.  No one can, though, according to the holy Word of God.  Salvation comes as God's gift of Christ's righteousness to sinners, received by faith.

​Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
(October 4)
A worship service highlighting Jesus' discourses during Holy Week, specifically the parable of the wicked tenants of the vineyard.  God has prepared for Himself a people and seeks godly fruit from them and their stewards. ​​
Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 27)
A worship service highlighting the divine authority of Jesus in light of the self-made authority of the Jerusalem religious elite.  Our Savior calls them to consider and judge for themselves from where He derives His authority in the week before He demonstrates it by His resurrection from the dead.
​Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost (September 20)
A worship service teaching the kingdom of heaven as distinct from the kingdoms of this earth.  Our accounting demands that the wage fits the work, but God's economy of salvation is all about His generosity.  God gives us not a fair wage (we would never be worthy) but an equal portion with Christ, who earned salvation on our behalf.

Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
(September 13)
​A worship service highlighting the forgiveness our Heavenly Father has for us in Jesus Christ and the forgiveness He would have us deliver to other sinners.  A lesson in loving and showing mercy to those who are more like us than we might like to admit.
​

​
​Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost (August 30)
​​A worship service for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost, reminding Christians that it is Christ, not ourselves, for whom we live -- especially when it comes to those who persecute us or cause us to suffer.  God knows what injustices are committed and how to repair and/or repay them. 
​
​Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
(August 23)
A worship service for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost highlighting the divinely-revealed confession of St. Peter.  On the rock that is Peter's confession, Christ establishes His Church and gives to her the authority to forgive and retain sins.

​Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost
​​(August 16)
A worship service for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost featuring the generosity of Jesus, who -- while sent first to the house of Israel -- from the abundance of His mercy and grace cared for others unconnected with God's covenant people.

​Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
​(August 9)
​A worship service for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost featuring the Lord's answer to Job and the Lord's saving of Peter from the deep.  Our great Lord is also a gracious Savior.
Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
​(August 2)
​A worship service for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost featuring Jesus having compassion on the crowds who came to Him as sheep without a shepherd.  Jesus is the good shepherd who leads them to green pastures besides quiet waters, restores their souls, and prepares a meal for them so that their portions overflow.

​Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
​(July 26)
​A worship service for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost featuring the assurance that God is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made, as the Holy Spirit reminds us in the psalms.

​Seventh Sunday after Pentecost ​
​(July 19)
A worship service for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost illustrating the source and the solution to suffering in our world.  The answer, of course, is Jesus.


​Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
​(July 12)
​A worship service for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost detailing the freedom that we have been gifted in Christ.
 Confirmation Sunday
​(June 28)
A service for Confirmation Sunday/Fourth Sunday after Pentecost.  What does the Christian do with the Law of God?  Can you fulfill it?  Should you try?  What if you can't?  Jesus did for you.  Trust in Him for forgiveness, righteousness, and the ability to live freed from guilt, doubt, and judgment.

3rd Sunday after Pentecost
​(June 21)

A worship service for the Third Sunday after Pentecost.  The cost of discipleship is forfeiting the old life of sin we knew when we were slaves of unrighteousness, but the return is the joy of a blessed life here in Christ and a glorious life hereafter!

2nd Sunday after Pentecost ​
​(June 14)

A worship service for the Second Sunday after Pentecost.  Jesus' choice in disciples may seem unlikely, but He chooses according to His wisdom those who will advance the kingdom of heaven by their witness.  The same holds true today.

A Service for the Sunday marking the Holy Trinity, when the Triune God (Three-in-one), the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are highlighted.

Pentecost  (May 31st)
