Theme: “Be Anew … You Who Think You Are So Clever!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Sometimes we try to be good and devoted at what we do, and other times we try to be clever, cute, or creative. Yet nothing pays off like discipline, devotion, and faithfulness. The parable of the “shrewd” manager in Luke 16:1-13 reminds us that while cleverness and quick thinking have their place, they cannot substitute for faithfulness. God cannot be fooled—and God doesn’t need to be.

Celebrate a new beginning in The One who is clever and wise, faithful and true, to renew, to lead, and to save!

Worship Highlights:
Scripture: Luke 16:1-13
Message: “Be Anew … You Who Think You Are So Clever!”
September Worship Theme: “Time To Follow Through … On A New Beginning!”

Location: Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Lakeville, MN
Join Us: In person. This service will not be livestreamed.

Let us worship together and breathe deeply of the grace that proves God’s wisdom is greater than our cleverness.

Faith Quest, our Sunday School program, will meet during our 9:30am service this week! For more information and registration, explore our Youth Ministries.

We invite you to join us on September 28, 2025, as we celebrate a special and meaningful occasion in the life of our church community - Confirmation Sunday and the Affirmation of Baptism.

We encourage you to join us in worship and witness this special event. Your presence and support mean a great deal to our confirmands as they take this important step in their faith journey.

Theme: “Take A Breath … Presume Only This!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Anticipate. We are taught early in life: “try to anticipate.” A puzzle, a story line, a game—we are encouraged to anticipate what happens next. But anticipating is far different from assuming or presuming.

In Luke 14:1, 7–14, Jesus speaks directly to our tendency to presume: presume our place, presume how God does things, presume that we are entitled. Instead, we are invited to take a deep, fresh breath and presume only this—that our place is assured thanks to the saving, ever-present power and grace of Jesus Christ.

Why do we do what we do? Good question. Why does God do what God does? Better question. Why do we question what God does? Good question. Why do we not let God be God? Better question.

In Luke 13:10–17, Jesus heals on the Sabbath—raising good questions and better questions. Why not take a deep, fresh breath and trust anew The One who, in grace, heals all and answers every question?

Theme: “Take A Breath, Easier Said When Done!”
Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

Some things sound simple—until you try to do them. In Luke 12:49-56, Jesus speaks of division, urgency, and the cost of discipleship. It’s a reminder that following Christ often feels like one of those “easier said than done” tasks. Yet with God’s grace, the hard work of faith becomes possible—and even transformative.

Take a breath. Lean into the challenge. Trust anew in the One who has already done what we could never do alone.

Worship Highlights:

  • Scripture: Luke 12:49-56

Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

We’re often told to “be ready for anything.” But what if God is preparing us for one thing? In Luke 12:32-40, Jesus reminds us to be watchful and expectant—for grace, for the promise, for the moment when faith becomes sight. The call may come at an unexpected hour, but God’s grace is always right on time.

Take a breath. Trust anew. And be ready—not for everything, but for the One thing that changes everything.

Worship at 9:30 a.m. | In Person & Online

We all keep things in storage — supplies, keepsakes, plans for the future. Being prepared is wise, but Jesus invites us to consider what we are storing up, and why. In Luke 12:13-21, Jesus reminds us that while wealth and possessions can create tension, it is the desires of our hearts that ultimately shape our lives.

Take a deep, fresh breath this week and renew your trust in the One who stores up grace — not for gain, but for your good. God’s grace is always in abundance, always ready, and always enough.

This week, we reflect on the gift and power of prayer — how even a small conversation can deepen our connection with God. In Luke 11:1-13, the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray, and Jesus responds with both guidance and encouragement: God hears us, and God is faithful to respond.

As we P.R.A.Y. — Praise, Repent, Ask, and Yield — may we take a deep, fresh breath and find renewed trust in the One who listens, speaks, and walks with us.

This Sunday, we celebrate the conclusion of a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School! The children will help lead worship and share songs from the week, reminding us of the joy and wonder of faith.

In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus gently redirects Martha’s busyness and anxiety, reminding her — and us — that only one thing is truly needed. In a world full of distractions and priorities constantly shifting, Jesus invites us to take a deep, fresh breath and choose the better part: His presence.

You are always Jesus’ number one priority. May that truth center and ground you this week.

As we prepare to kick off Vacation Bible School on Monday morning, we gather for worship this Sunday with a timely reminder: God's grace never passes us by.

In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus shares the parable of The Good Samaritan in response to a question from a lawyer: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” While the world may look the other way, Jesus teaches us to see, stop, and serve—mirroring the very grace God gives us every day.

Take a deep, fresh breath, and remember: in a world that often rushes by, God sees you, graces you, and never passes you by.

Worship Highlights:

  • Scripture: Luke 10:25-37

This Sunday, we continue our summer worship series, “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath,” with a message centered on commitment, focus, and trust in Christ’s forward-moving grace.

In Luke 9:51-62, Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem, fully committed to his mission. He says, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” As we reflect on the choices we make each day, we are reminded that Jesus sets his eyes on us—and never looks back.

Worship at 9:30 a.m. | Holy Communion in the Memorial Garden

This Sunday, we continue our summer theme, “Take A Breath, Take A Deep, Fresh Breath,” with a focus on opening our eyes and hearts to see God's grace right in front of us.

Our gospel reading, Luke 8:26-39, tells the story of Jesus healing a man possessed by demons—an encounter that reveals both divine power and the difficulty people sometimes have in truly seeing Jesus. While others struggled to recognize him, even the demons knew who he was. As we gather, may we take a deep breath and recognize once more the presence and grace of Jesus in our lives.

Worship Highlights:

As we near the close of the Easter season, we reflect on the powerful gift of prayer through the words of John 17:20-26. In this passage, the Risen Christ prays for us, for our unity, our faith, and our connection to God and one another.

As we gather for worship on this Memorial Day Weekend, we also give thanks for those who have given their lives in service to others. We are reminded of the hope we have in Christ—the One who is risen and with us, who comes to us when we are in need, and who calls us to rise in His grace.

Join us this Sunday as we give thanks and celebrate with full hearts during this special morning of worship! As we continue our Easter season journey, we reflect on the theme “Easter Hearts: Alive, Anew, Awakened, Filled!” through the story from John 21:1-19.

In this powerful passage, the Risen Christ is revealed on the shore, calling the disciples to cast their nets once more. As their nets are filled, Peter recognizes Jesus, and they gather to eat and be filled—with food, with faith, and with grace. Like the disciples, we are invited to recognize Christ in our midst and be filled with the gifts of His presence.

Special Moments in Worship:
