Lutheran Church of the Master

Welcome to Lutheran Church of the Master for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost! Though Jesus was a devout Jew who practiced his faith, he was criticized for eating with tax collectors and sinners—the religiously nonobservant. Jesus criticizes the self-righteous and reminds us that mercy is to be at the heart of our religious practices. God continues to be made known in those on the margins of society, like Matthew the tax collector and the hemorrhaging woman. As we gather each Lord’s day we receive the healing that makes us well and sends us forth to be signs of God’s mercy for the world.

I hope you have had the opportunity to download the resources for this Easter Season to prepare your at-home worship spaces or for worship in the building. For worship today, I invite you to please download and open the worship guide so you can fully participate, as you, too, are a vital part of today’s liturgy. ~ PD

We’d love you to join us in the celebration of the Spirit this weekend. Our worship service this weekend will be just our Sunday 10am service.

Welcome to Lutheran Church of the Master for Holy Trinity Sunday! Though the word trinity is not found in the scriptures, today’s second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the world to bear witness to our faith.

Welcome to Lutheran Church of the Master for the Day of Pentecost! Pentecost derives its name from the Jewish festival celebrating the harvest and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai, fifty days after Passover. Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God’s presence within and among us. In Acts, the Spirit arrives in rushing wind and flame, bringing God’s presence to all people. Paul reminds us that though we each have different capacities, we are unified in the Spirit that equips us with these gifts. Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit on his disciples, empowering them to forgive sin. We celebrate that we, too, are given the breath of the Holy Spirit and sent out to proclaim God’s redeeming love to all the world.

Welcome to Lutheran Church of the Master for the Seventh Sunday of Easter - Day of Ascension! In these days between Ascension and Pentecost, we gather with the disciples in the upper room, waiting for the Spirit to transform the church around the world. In today’s gospel Jesus prays for his followers and for their mission in his name. Amid religious, social, and economic divisions, we seek the unity that Jesus had with his Father. Made one in baptism, we go forth to live our faith in the world, eager for the unity that God intends for the whole human family.
