Faith Lutheran Church of Whittier California

Our message today was about Jesus' "Discipleship of Love" (Matthew 5:1-12).

What are you obsessing about today? That was a question that came out of our meditation today on Christ's famous words, "the truth will set you free" (John 8:31-36).

Greetings in the Lord. We walk by faith, knowing that the Lord knows all things, and in this knowledge He loves us. Our brother, Bob Hover, walked confidently with the Lord, believing He held his life and the lives of everyone He loves in His hands. Bob never knew when God would call him home, but he knew He would, and now he sits with the Lord in glory. Bob was born March 2, 1945. He died at 4:45pm, Thursday, October 1st. He was 75 years old. Bob chose cremation, and a memo...rial service is not planned at this time. I spoke with Carolyn this morning, and she told me about how Bob's death took everyone by surprise, that they'd had a good morning and afternoon, and that her discovery of his passing shocked her. We all grieve our loss of this good man, this man of God. We are thankful for Bob's good humor and big heart. I didn't know him well, but it sounds like he was everyone's friend, especially his brother's, his kids', and his grandkids', Josh and Savannah, and his wife's, Carolyn, his life-partner for over 52 years. Thank you for your prayers. Carolyn says "no food, please!" They've received more than they can eat or store! However, if you'd like to call, that would be fine. And if you'd like to send cards and flowers, that would also be fine. To God be the glory. Amen. Pastor Richard Ross

We remember today our brother, Bob Hover, a faithful servant of Christ's church and child of God, who passed into glory yesterday. More information will be forthcoming. Please remember the Hover and Piette families in your prayers. Romans 8: 38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Pastor Richard Ross

Peter had his own plan for how God should usher in his kingdom, which did not include his salvation! But Jesus set him straight! The core passage was Matthew 16:21-28.

Our message on Sunday, 8/23/20, was about how Jesus asked his disciples who they thought he was, and in so doing helped them and he helps you and me to understand our relationship to him and to each other.

Jesus asked the disciples, who do you say that I am? And Peter said, you are the Christ the Son of the living God! That profession of faith is the core of our message tomorrow morning around 9:15ish LIVE!

We are going to try our first live sermon on this page tomorrow morning for the 9:00 a.m. Worship Service. The sermon will begin around 9:15. This is the first time out. Pray for us!

Let's worship on the patio this Sunday at 9 AM! Communion will be served.
