Welcome

Welcome to the Web home of the family of faith known as Peace Lutheran Church in Kansas City, Missouri. We invite you to come worship with us on Sunday mornings, and want you to consider yourself among friends who care. We hope that you will visit us soon and rejoice with us in the message of the Gospel -- "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16) -

 

We believe the Bible is the inspired and unerring word of God and the only source of the instruction for doctrine and practice.

  • That there is only one true God: The Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Three persons in one divine being,
  • That we all are sinners and cannot be saved by our deeds.
  • That we all are saved only through faith in Jesus Christ.
  • That the Christian Faith expressed itself in a life of dedication in worship, love and service to God and Others.
  • That the Christian seeks to grow in Christian knowledge and faith through the use of the Bible and Sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

The Bible will never change, as God never changes. His love and salvation is complete and perfect. You can find comfort and peace in that. Our church maintains and preaches solid Bible based, Christ centered doctrine. We correct each other in making sure our hymns, liturgy, and teachings stand by the scripture. Our ministers go through a lot of training; 4 years of college and 4 years of Seminary to be ordained. They do not go through a 6 week course on the internet and get accepted to marry people in any church. Did you know that each seminary student is required to have class in Greek and Hebrew for the sole purpose to interpret the original scriptures? The structure is strict, and each pastor has their own gifts and qualities. But in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, You can be assured that the minister is grounded in the teachings. We accept and preach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century.

The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three phrases:

  • Sola Gratia - Grace Alone

God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.

  • Sola Fide - Faith Alone

By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.

  • Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone

The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.

Please consider coming to our church. We love and accept all kinds of people. We want to meet new people and help them with their spiritual growth in Jesus Christ. Those having trouble understanding, coping, are sick, or in need of friends; please check us out. We are here to pray with, and for you, help you serve your Savior, and grow in Christ. We are all sinners in God's eyes and Jesus came to save sinners.

The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:22-23.

 

Yours in Christ,

Pastor David Rolf

    SUNDAY BIBLE STUDY – 9:45 AM
    STUDY OF THE BOOK  OF HEBREWS


    ALTHOUGH SOME INCLUDE THE BOOK OF HEBREWS AMONG THE APOSTLE PAUL’S WRITINGS, THE CERTAIN IDENTITY OF THE AUTHOR REMAINS AN ENIGMA. MISSING IS PAUL’S CUSTOMARY SALUTATION COMMON TO HIS OTHER WORKS. IN ADDITION, THE SUGGESTION THAT THE WRITER OF THIS EPISTLE RELIED UPON KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OTHERS WHO WERE ACTUAL EYEWITNESSES OF CHRIST JESUS (2:3) MAKES PAULINE AUTHORSHIP DOUBTFUL. SOME ATTRIBUTE LUKE AS ITS WRITER; REGARDLESS OF THE HUMAN HAND THAT HELD THE PEN, THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IS THE DIVINE AUTHOR OF ALL SCRIPTURE (2 TIMOTHY 3:16); THEREFORE, HEBREWS SPEAKS WITH THE SAME CANONICAL AUTHORITY AS THE OTHER SIXTY-FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. THE BOOK OF HEBREWS ADDRESSES THREE SEPARATE GROUPS: BELIEVERS IN CHRIST, UNBELIEVERS WHO HAD KNOWLEDGE OF AND AN INTELLECTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE FACTS OF CHRIST, AND UNBELIEVERS WHO WERE ATTRACTED TO CHRIST, BUT WHO REJECTED HIM ULTIMATELY. IT’S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHICH GROUP IS BEING ADDRESSED IN WHICH PASSAGE. TO FAIL TO DO SO CAN CAUSE US TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS INCONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF SCRIPTURE. THE LATE DR. WALTER MARTIN, FOUNDER OF THE CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND WRITER OF THE BEST-SELLING BOOK KINGDOM OF THE CULTS, QUIPPED IN HIS USUAL TONGUE-IN-CHEEK MANNER THAT THE BOOK OF HEBREWS WAS WRITTEN BY A HEBREW TO OTHER HEBREWS TELLING THE HEBREWS TO STOP ACTING LIKE HEBREWS. IN TRUTH, MANY OF THE EARLY JEWISH BELIEVERS WERE SLIPPING BACK INTO THE RITES AND RITUALS OF JUDAISM IN ORDER TO ESCAPE THE MOUNTING PERSECUTION. THIS LETTER, THEN, IS AN EXHORTATION FOR THOSE PERSECUTED BELIEVERS TO CONTINUE IN THE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST.

     

    Wednesday Bible Study – 4:00 PM

    STUDY OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS

    Genesis is a carefully and intentionally crafted account of Israel’s origin story.  Genesis is the first book of the Bible, but more importantly, it’s the first book of the Torah, the law of Moses. The Torah is Israel’s origin story: it’s the history of how the nation of Israel got its population, its land, and its religion. Genesis told the ancient Israelites that God had befriended their ancestors, promised them a land, and had a plan to bless the world through them. But the story of Genesis is really just the grand prologue to Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Together, these five books tell how Israel became God’s special nation. opens with one of the most famous first sentences of any literary work: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” It’s where we find the famous stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the ark, Abraham and Isaac, and a well-dressed dreamer named Joseph.
