Westlake Hills Presbyterian WHPC

Feeling lost after losing a loved one? You're not alone. Loss can feel overwhelming and like the end of the road. The story of Naomi and Ruth from the Book of Ruth are an example. Naomi experiences deep grief after losing her husband and sons.
Despite Naomi's despair, her daughter-in-law Ruth chooses to stay with her. Ruth's loyalty and companionship are a source of comfort for Naomi. Be a "Ruth" for someone grieving & let our church family be your "Ruth" too.

Pastor Emily's sermon reflects on the metaphor of speed bumps in life, drawing from her own experience of encountering unexpected obstacles on familiar paths. She asks her congregation to reflect on their own "speed bumps," which range from work challenges to health struggles. Through the story of Jesus healing a blind man, Pastor Emily emphasizes that struggles, whether physical or emotional, are not punishments or tests from God but rather opportunities for divine intervention and revelation. Despite the blind man's rejection from the temple after his healing, Jesus seeks him out, illustrating a profound message of acceptance and understanding. The sermon concludes with a powerful reminder that Jesus, through his unwavering presence and compassion, meets us wherever we are on our journey of faith.

On this Mission Emphasis Sunday we welcome guest pastor Ezequiel Herrera from New Life Faith Community in McAllen, TX preaching his sermon "Sent to Share".

We have been looking at different stories about Peter the past 5 weeks. For today, while there will be many scriptural references, this is purely a figment of her imagination. We, the congregation will act as Peter’s young adult children. Peter is going to spend time talking to us about what is most important in life. Here is the apostle Peter from long ago....
