Sunday, August 30, 2026 - Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

We welcome you to worship this Sunday, either in-person at Our Savior Lutheran Church (745 Front St. S in Issaquah), or on YouTube.

On Sunday, August 30, Pr. Olaf is the presider, and Pr. Kristin-Luana is the preacher.

Here is the Sermon News:
Season of Creation, Ezekiel 47:1-12: “Immersion in Living Water"

The symbol of this year’s Season of Creation depicts water flowing from the Temple of God—at first a tiny stream that grows deeper and deeper, and as it does so it brings life to dead areas and restores fertility to damaged or barren ecosystems. Through living water comes healing; but in order to receive new life, we too must step into the water and also become part of God’s river of life, taking part in the healing of creation.

Ezekiel’s vision reframes water—the most basic element of life—as a divine agent of renewal, justice, and hope, a life-giving force flowing from God’s sanctuary. The vision begins with a small trickle—droplets of water flowing from the place of prayer. From a tiny stream, it grows to an unstoppable river—the first marvel. The river grows as it flows from the Temple, nourished by the worship of God’s people.

Reconciliation with God results not only in restored worship but in renewed land, healed ecosystems, and abundant life. Care for creation thus emerges as a direct consequence of a restored relationship with God.

Be inspired to care for creation this Sunday!

Sunday, August 23, 2026 - Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

We welcome you to worship this Sunday at 10:00 am, either in-person at Our Savior Lutheran Church (745 Front St. S in Issaquah), or on YouTube.

Pr. Kristin-Luana is the presider, and Pr. Olaf is the preacher.

Here is the Sermon News:

Matthew 16:13-20

Why would Jesus tell his disciples not to tell anyone he was the Messiah?

To modern Christians, Matthew 16:20 sounds almost absurd. Shouldn’t they shout it from the rooftops?

But Jesus didn’t live in 21st-century America. He lived in a world where honor worked very differently, and once we understand that world, his strange command suddenly makes sense.

This Sunday: “Don’t Tell Anyone!” Matthew 16:13–20 if you want the people to believe you. Amen.

Greetings, Friends of Our Savior,

Due to poor air quality and high temperatures, Beach Church for TODAY, Wednesday, August 5, has been CANCELLED.

With this smoky air rated unhealthy for sensitive groups, the pastors and Council decided it was safest for everyone to stay home and avoid outdoor exposure.

We hope to see you for Beach Church next Wednesday on August 12!

On Sunday, August 2, Pr. Kristin-Luana is the presider, and Pr. Olaf is the preacher.

Here is the Sermon News:

Can We Imagine a World Where Everyone Has Enough?

In the story of the feeding of the five thousand, the disciples see only scarcity: too many mouths, too little bread, impossible odds. Jesus sees something else. He dares to imagine abundance where everyone else sees limits.

This Sunday, we will explore how 19th century assumptions about scarcity still shape our politics, our economics, and even our faith.

Join us on Sunday, 10 AM, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 745 Front St. S in Issaquah, and on YouTube as we ask:

Is the kingdom of God built on competition and fear, or on Jesus’ imagination that there can be a world where there is enough for all? Are we able to trust Jesus’ imagination?

Sermon News for Sunday, July 26:

What is the Kingdom of God like?

- An invasive w**d.
- Leaven that gets into everything.
- A shady deal involving buried treasure.
- A terrible investment in one outrageously expensive pearl.
- A fishing net that catches absolutely everything.

Jesus’ parables about the Kingdom of God are stranger—and far more subversive—than they first appear.

Join us on Sunday, 10 AM, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 745 Front St. S in Issaquah, and on YouTube as we ask: What is the Kingdom of God like for you?

Sermon News, July 19, 2026, Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, John 11:1-44, “Mary, the Tower”

Throughout recent history, we remembered Mary Magdalene as a sexual sinner, a pr******te and/or adulteress, who gave up her sinful lifestyle after her encounter with Jesus. She is not famous for being one of the most important leaders of the early church, maybe even the leading apostle. She is famous for being the most repentant sinner ever, her core sin being of sexual nature. But in the first 600 years of Christianity, Mary was known as “apostola apostolorum,”, the apostle to the apostles. Writings well known in the first 600 years of Christianity place her as Jesus’ most important companion.

Who is Mary? Repentant sinner or towering leader? Come and find out this Sunday, 10 AM at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 745 Front St. S in Issaquah, WA, and on YouTube!
