Divine Service: The 5th Sunday in Lent

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

Messiah continues our weekly worship schedule with the Divine Service on Sunday, April 6th at 10:00 am. The service is scheduled to be livestreamed at www.youtube.com/messiahgr, our website and our Facebook page. Sunday School & Bible Class will be held beforehand at 9:00 am, with a joint opening for both groups in our Fellowship Hall.

Remembering & conveying truth is vital! Paul recounts his impressive Jewish credentials & yet confesses the truth - they are but rubbish. Through Isaiah, the Lord reminds us of the exodus - God’s divine action of destruction & rescue. Jesus addresses the Pharisees with divine truths embedded in a parable. God owns the vineyard tended by corrupt religious leaders, the servants are the rejected prophets, and the beloved Son is Jesus. These are divine truths - by God’s design, Jesus’ destruction is imminent, but resurrection is forever. (Psalm 3:3–6, 8, Isaiah 43:16-21; Philippians 3:3b-14; Luke 20:9-20)
