16th Sunday after Pentecost - October 5, 2025

GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
16th Sunday after Pentecost
October 5, 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:
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.

GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
13th Sunday after Pentecost
September 7, 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: Some days go well and some don’t. Some days we feel like we’re on top of the 
world, and others like we’re on the bottom. If the value we place on our lives and ourselves is tied to 
how well things are going in our “everyday,” we’re going to be riding an uncomfortable roller coaster. 
We need something, someone we can look to for unchanging contentment no matter how our 
“everyday” is going. Paul had plenty of highs and lows, but learned the secret of contentment in any 
circumstance. His unchanging reason? Jesus. We can do everything through Him who gives us 
strength. If we have Jesus, we don’t need anything else. Genuine joy isn’t dictated by your changing 
circumstances; it is found in the unchangeable Lord.

Worship Focus:  Life isn’t always easy here. And it isn’t hard for friction to happen between people. 
If it keeps happening, it can start causing pain, and then start creating bitterness. And when 
bitterness has built up, a single spark can cause an explosion. There is a joy we are given as a gift 
through Jesus. This means we can rejoice together no matter how hard things get. This joy can help 
us live together with other imperfect people like us. And this is so important… because those who 
will spend an eternity in joyful unity might as well start living in that joy now. Life is just better that 
way. So let’s focus on the good gifts God has given us, and let that overflow with joy into not only 
our lives, but the lives of those around us.

GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL

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: When you’re on your way home from travelling and have been gone a while, there’s 
nothing like getting close to home. You can see the familiar sights, hear familiar sounds, even smell 
familiar things. It keeps you going and encourages you to finish the journey and get home! Life on 
earth is like that. We’re on a journey here, but our real home is with God. He’s put that home in our 
hearts, and the closer we come, the more we will long for it. Keeping our real home as our focus 
helps us through life’s journey, with all its highs and lows. It’s easy to be sidetracked along the way. 
This scripture passage helps us keep our home in view!
