A message from our Pastor:

Brothers and sisters in Christ,
This morning, I announced to First Evangelical Lutheran Church of El Cajon that I have received a divine call to St. Paul Lutheran Church in Mountain View, CA. This means that I have two calls, one to First Lutheran and one to St. Paul. Over the next few weeks, Kristan and I will discern the next steps. I intend to announce my decision on October 4th whether to accept the call or return it. Please pray for me, for Kristan, and for First Lutheran Church, and for St. Paul Lutheran Church.

If you have any questions about the call process, please reach out.

In Christ,
Pastor James Huenink

A puzzling moment: Jesus seems to overlook a desperate woman's cries. This contrasts sharply with his intense debate with the Pharisees, where he exposes the hypocrisy of their focus on ritual purity over true spiritual cleanliness.

The message of hope travels far beyond its origins, reaching a Canaanite woman whose unwavering faith in Jesus challenges his path. Her persistent plea ultimately moves him to act, showing the power of conviction.

Are we using Jesus for our own agendas today, just like in Peter's time? This video looks at how easily faith can be twisted for political or cultural gain, distracting from his real purpose.
