GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 18th Sunday after Pentecost October 19, 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:  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.  Serving at Worship  Presiding Leader: Mike Rostad  Musical Accompanist: Marty Puckett   Accompanists:  Vince Beiderbecke: Violin/Cello  Don Black: Percussion  Worship Materials: stmarkslutheran.com/stay-connected-2/ Explore our website:stmarkslutheran.com.

GLORIFY HIM... GROW IN HIM... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD 17th Sunday after Pentecost October 12, 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:  “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.

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.  Serving at Worship  Presiding Minister: Pastor David Waterstradt  Musical Accompanist: Rosemarie Boushek  Worship Materials: stmarkslutheran.com/stay-connected-2/ Explore our website:stmarkslutheran.com.

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.  Serving at Worship  Presiding Leader: Mike Rostad   Musical Accompanists: Jeri Reed  Worship Materials: stmarkslutheran.com/stay-connected-2/ Explore our website:stmarkslutheran.com.

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:  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.  Serving at Worship  Presiding Leader: Michael Rostad  Musical Accompanist: Rosemarie Boushek  Worship Materials: stmarkslutheran.com/stay-connected-2/ Explore our website:stmarkslutheran.com.

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!

Worship Focus: We love sharing with people the places we’ve been, things we’ve done, stuff we’ve  accomplished. There are things in this world that have brought us joy that we want to share with  others. But when we focus on sharing with everyone what we have done or accomplished, it can turn  into a competition as to who has done or seen the most. And truth be told, all these things can only  bring joy for so long. If we think things we have done have brought us joy, there is something that  was done for us that brought us a greater joy than anything we’ve done or experienced. Unspeakable  joy. And when we know this joy, believe it, celebrate it, it changes everything.  Serving at Worship  TODAY AT ST.

All dressed up while everyone else is casual?  Excited about something no one else is? We live in a post-Christian world. The viewpoints prevalent  in this world are a world apart from the viewpoint God gives us in His Word. That means, in this  world, we stick out. Stand out. Shine like stars in a very dark sky. As we hold onto God’s Word and  hold it out for other people to see, we will shine like stars in people’s lives.
