Even after the Affordable Care Act, many people still cannot afford to pay for health care services. California Care Force is a nonprofit organization providing free mobile clinics for health, dental and vision care. California Care Force also is receiving financial support from PEACE Lutheran Church. On Sunday, July 19, a temple talk will be […]
“Herd or Flock?” The Bible uses a lot of imagery involving sheep and shepherds, and we hear some of that today: Poor shepherds let the flock get scattered. Good shepherds lead and heal. THE Good Shepherd will lead with wisdom and justice, and will put an end to fear. Christians believe Jesus – God’s Good […]
Get blessed! When we believe in Jesus as the Son of God, God adopts us as his own children – He chooses us! Then, as God’s children, God lavishes upon us “every spiritual blessing,” St. Paul writes. One of the gifts we receive is the power of the Holy Spirit, who helps us follow the model of […]
“Where did this man get all this?” We hear how people were amazed by the teaching and healing Jesus did during his ministry. Then, Jesus sends out his chosen Twelve to also preach and heal all who believe that Jesus is God’s son. Today, we are those witnesses, and we are sent out to testify to […]
Can I really be healed? We hear about Jesus healing a bleeding woman and raising a dead girl to life this Sunday at PEACE Lutheran Church. Many first-century people would have found aspects of these stories shocking. “This guy Jesus heals outcasts!” There he goes again, shaking things up! Come to worship and see what […]
Is life tossing you about? It’s easy to feel swamped. Job, family, relationships, bills, repairs to vehicle or home, politics, the weather – they can seem beyond our ability to control.

At church this Sunday, we hear a reference to the cosmic tree of life in which all the birds of the air are nesting. The tree we gather around is the cross of Christ. Come be a bird on this tree! “The Kingdom of God… is like a mustard seed which, when sown upon the […]
Today we contemplate the Holy Trinity. This is the three-persons-in-one-God concept that is central to Christianity – the persons of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It’s also the first Sunday after Pentecost, the day when we remembered God sending his Holy Spirit to Jesus’ followers after Jesus ascended into […]
“I am asking… on behalf of those whom you gave me.” In the gospel for this coming Sunday, we hear Jesus praying that God protect us for our life in the world. We join with Matthias, the newly chosen disciple No. 12, to witness to Christ’s resurrection. Today is the seventh Sunday of Easter. This […]

Johnson, and other ministerial leaders also will participate during both the 8:45 and 11 a.m. worship services. […]
