18th Sunday after Pentecost - October 19, 2025

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.
