Oct 30 – Reformation Sunday

The Divine Service for the Festival of the Reformation (October 30, 2022)

“What the Word Reveals” – Romans 3:19-28

We celebrate the 505th anniversary of the Reformation and the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s translation of the New Testament into German, allowing people to read and study the precious Word of God in their own language. May we also learn to read, study, and digest the Word of God for our lives today!

Oct 23 – 20th Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost (October 23, 2022)

“The Humbled are Exalted” – Luke 18:9-17

What do a Pharisee, tax collector, and little children have in common? All examples of God’s great reversal that is a theme that runs through Luke’s Gospel. Those who humbly come before God by faith receive God’s mercy and are lifted up – exalted over their lowliness. But the prideful, self-exalted will be brought down and humbled because of their lack of faith and mercy towards God and their neighbor. May we have a childlike faith that will trust in God to save us!

Oct 16 – 19th Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost (October 16, 2022) and also Immanuel’s 27th annual Heritage Fest. We welcome Chuck Thiel and the Jolly Ramblers who lead us in song for this service.

“Persistent Prayer” – Luke 18:1-8

Jesus teaches us to pray by means of a contrast of a heartless judge who gives in to the persistence of a widow to our loving Father who will certainly hear the prayers of His children and answer them as He knows best. We do not always understand or appreciate our Father’s answer to prayer, yet by grace through faith we accept it and keep on praying knowing that we will be delivered from all evil in the end.

Note: Due to the special service, there is no service document to download or view today. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Oct 9 – 18th Sunday after Pentecost

The Divine Service for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost (October 9, 2022)

“Where are the Nine?” – Luke 17:11-19

What are you thankful for? Who do you thank for those blessings? May we always come to the feet of our Savior, Jesus, and give Him thanks for all that we need for this body and life! Yet, more so, we thank Him for the redemption of our bodies and souls from the leprosy of sin that He earns for us by His cross.

Pastor John Fuchs, Emeritus, graciously serves for Pastor Augustine for this service.
