Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost September 29, 2024

September 29, 2024 AS WE GATHER As sinners, we do not weather our miseries well. We crave physical comfort and readily complain to our spiritual leadership. Our belligerent refrains are sometimes futile, for they cannot alter the will of God. In the midst of our displeasure, God sends prophets and preachers to rebuke, correct, and instruct. In prayer and song, Jesus’ words should be our constant refrain so that we do not wander from truth or cause others to fall into sin. St. Paul Lutheran Church A Member Congregation of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod We greet and welcome all guests and visitors worshiping with us today. We hope that the message you hear today will strengthen your understanding and faith in God’s plan to save us from sin and death through Jesus Christ. If you are visiting with us for the first time, please introduce yourself to Pastor Mat. If you are without a church home, we invite you to join us here at St. Paul.
