Divine Service: The 6th Sunday after Pentecost

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

Messiah continues our summer schedule with our weekly Divine Service on Sunday, July 5th at 10:00 am (Bible Class will be held beforehand at 9:00 am.) This service is scheduled to be livestreamed at www.youtube.com/messiahgr, our website and our Facebook page. Note that there will be no Monday night service on July 6th.

Zechariah prophesies the coming of King Jesus, whose reign is about mercy, grace, life & goodness, not about wrath, power, anger or violence. Sometimes we mistakenly think that unyielding wrath guarantees change, self-condemnation begets correction, and power deserves respect. But for Christians, it is only the gracious, gentle, merciful Jesus who delivers us from our body of death. He is our divine respite in whom we know kindness, goodness & forgiveness. (Psalm 91:1-2, 9-10; Psalm 145:1-14; Romans 7:14-25a; Matthew 11:25-32)
