Fred Luter speaks at LC Feb. 18 chapel services

PINEVILLE — Former SBC president Fred Luter preached at Louisiana College’s Feb. 18 chapel services as part of the college’s observance of Black History month. Luter, pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, spoke from Matthew 26 on “What to do when you don’t know what to do.”

“While in the Garden of Gethsemane on the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus felt sorrow and solitude, but expressed submission and showed strength before his unjust arrest,” Luter said. “What one should do when one does not know what to do “is to learn a lesson from Jesus; go to God in prayer.

Several local African American pastors and church members greeted him after the chapel sermon, many taking selfies with the noted pastor.

LC students, faculty and staff also met Luter.

“Dr. Luter is one among the many who have preached in our chapel services, and yet whose walk with God comes through not so much as a sermon, but as an encouraging testimony to what God has done and will do for all who will follow the Lord,” said LC president Rick Brewer. “Louisiana College is serious about the chapel service as it draws the entire LC family together around the word of God fitly preached.”
