GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL
CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
19th Sunday after Pentecost
October 26, 2025
A place to call home: St. Mark's Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark's. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God's grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: Gratitude is the appreciation we feel when someone does something kind to us or
for us. There are two factors that effect the intensity of gratitude. First, there is the deservedness
factor. Say you do a favor for your neighbor. A month later, your neighbor does a favor for you. You
are grateful, but not overwhelmingly so, because you deserved his help to some degree. However, if
you have been an unkind or selfish neighbor, and yet your neighbor provides help when you are in
need, you are extremely grateful precisely because you know you are undeserving. Second, there is
the generosity factor. Imagine you pick up the mail for your neighbor for the three days he is out of
town. When he gets back, he gives you a hundred-dollar bill. You might protest, “This is too
generous!” He insists, and so you are very grateful.
Apply this to God. The deservedness factor. How deserving are we of his blessing? What does God
owe us? The generosity factor. What has God done for us? What blessings has he given us now?
What blessings has he promised us in eternity? As we answer those questions, we are stunned by the
undeserved generosity our God has shown us. The effect? We overflow with gratitude.

Worship Focus: There are more than 2,300 Bible passages that speak about money. Why? Money is
a master Satan frequently tempts us to serve. In fact, out of all the masters competing for our service
besides God, money is probably at the top of the list. Money provides us with a false comfort and
sense of security. Money serves as a source of pride. This week, Jesus’ sharp words identify the
impossibility of serving more than one master. More, Jesus teaches that if we dedicate our lives in
service to money, money will always let us down. In contrast, God has proven that He is a master
worth serving. When we serve God, money is put in its proper place. Instead of it being a master to
serve, it becomes a tool in our service of our true Master.

GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL
CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
17th Sunday after Pentecost

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark's. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God's grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: “He’s lost.” We use that term not only to refer to someone who is bewildered
about where they are but also to refer to someone who is in a helpless, hopeless state. Mankind’s
natural state is one of the complete spiritual helplessness, a profound lostness. It manifests itself in
countless ways. The one who simply wants God to leave him alone: lost. The one who feels she can
handle life on her own: lost. The one who thinks he has the right to repent of his sins on his own
timetable and terms: lost. The one who thinks God owes her in some way: lost. Wandering around
physically lost can lead to winding up in bad places. Jesus’ wounding words this week teach that
wandering around spiritually lost puts you in the worst place of all. Fortunately, Jesus does not leave
us in our lostness. He relentlessly seeks us. He involves the rest of the Christian community in
seeking the lost and rejoicing over the found.

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark's. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God's grace, love, and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus:
What do John D Rockefeller, King Solomon, Henry
Ford, and Joseph Stalin all have in common? Two
things. First, they are all in the list of the twenty
wealthiest individuals who ever lived. Second, they
are all rotting in the ground. The reality is that while
money may help you achieve some objectives, it fails
to prevent death. So Jesus speaks some sharp words
this week, warning that those who live with hearts
filled with love for money and void of love for God
will receive the only eternity that money can buy—
one void of God and filled with torment. Money
seems helpful, but it fails in death. Conversely, what often seems of little help in this life will
be our only source of help in death. The world scoffs at those who set aside time to listen to
Jesus’ words and eat His holy meal. “Of what practical good are such things?” Only this.
Such things enable us, at death, to receive a reward that dwarfs even the best things money
can buy.
