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

STUDY OF THE BOOK OF 1 & 2 CORINTHIANS
The church in Corinth was in trouble. They were divided. They were immature. They were abusing the sacraments, spiritual gifts, and each other. The apostle Paul had founded this church earlier (Acts 18), and when he hears of the young church’s struggles, he writes them a letter. And it’s a bold one. He tackles the issues the church faces, reprimands them for their shortcomings, and encourages them in love. First Corinthians is not a step-by-step guide to solving church problems, however. Instead of telling the church precisely what to do, Paul proposes a new perspective: put God’s glory first.
the second letter to the Corinthian church, Paul is again having to deal with internal issues, and problems with people within the church trying to undermine his own ministry, even to the point of doubting his authority and calling. The fact that he feels it necessary to prove himself (Ch.12) irritates him to the point that he calls himself a ‘fool’ for doing so. It would be great to think that the Church of the past was all ‘sweetness and love’; the fact is, however, that even from its conception there has been internal trouble. The fact is, though, that we are the Church that God in His wisdom has decided to use for His Glory—and He does not make mistakes!
Wednesday Bible Study – 4:00 PM
STUDY OF THE BOOK OF AMOS
The Book of Amos is about the sovereign God of creation and covenant who announces judgment upon disobedient Israel, and yet proclaims a future kingdom hope for the people of God. In one sense, this could describe most prophetic books of the Old Testament.
While Amos was the messenger, the message was something he received from God, who roars from Zion (1:2). In other words, this prophecy of Scripture was not produced by the will of man, but Amos spoke from God as he was carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21). Before the Book of Amos is about anything else, it is about the triune God of our two-Testament Bible.

We have created a
Prayer Planner Page
in the Bulletin.
This comes from the "Pray for Us Calendar" on the LCMS Website
The Calendar is posted next to the
"Prayer of Peace"
with a list of our Friends and Loved ones that need our Prayers. You can tear both out and refer to them daily.
We also have a Memory Verse Challenge.
Worship Ministry
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
The church confesses to Christ, “You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). The church is encouraged to “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly ...” (Col. 3:16). Psalm 1 teaches us to meditate on God's Word day and night. It is our great opportunity and joy to read and study God's Word. One beneficial practice is to memorize the Scriptures and, in so doing, to meditate on it. The LCMS invites everyone to join together memorizing a verse together each week.
