16th Sunday after Pentecost - October 5, 2025

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.
