Divine Service: The Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

  • Messiah Lutheran Church 2727 Five Mile Rd. NE Grand Rapids, MI 49525 (map)

Messiah continues our summer schedule with Divine Services on Sunday, July 27th at 10:00 am (Bible Class will be held beforehand at 9:00 am) and Monday, July 28th at 7:00 pm. The Sunday service is scheduled to be livestreamed at www.youtube.com/messiahgr, our website and our Facebook page.

Patriarchs, apostles & ordinary people converse with God through prayer. Abraham pleads for the preservation of the righteous few, even in the midst of sin. The Lord tempers His anger, assuring Abraham of grace. The church’s liturgy is also a conversation between God & His people, shaped by confession of guilt & the outpouring of divine forgiveness! The Lord’s Prayer is the axis where confession of faith, sin and pleading for sustenance converge. As the Lord instructs, we are privileged to pray. (Psalm 50:15, 119:45-49; Genesis 18:20-33; Colossians 2:6–19; Luke 11:1-13)
