WORD OF GOD SPEAK
Bible studies give us the opportunity to study God’s Word together and grow deeper in our knowledge of God’s love for us. This equips us to share His Word and love with our co-workers, neighbors, friends, and people in the grocery store.
The key to faith is hearing God's Word. As iron sharpens iron, the Word of God will sharpen our faith and the ability to defend our faith against the many attacks in society today.
As a congregation, we affirm to build up one another in fellowship and encourage one another to stay true to the Word of God.
Will you please join us? For more info, call 224-2216.
Our Bible Study opportunities are listed below.
Sunday
9:45 – 10:45 A.M. T HE GOSPEL OF LUKE. Led by Jerry Wulf. Held in the St. Matthew Room, upstairs in the Christian Family Life Center. Starting Date: September 10, 2023.
Class members will learn some things that were not taught in Sunday School.
Why is a study of the Gospel of Luke appropriate for me? Luke's Gospel is written for those who do not have a background in the Jewish faith. Luke provides more detail on Old Testament laws and prophecies to help the
student better understand relevant aspects of Jewish culture and Jewish faith. Matthew's and Mark's Gospels were written primarily for Jews, who already had a good background in the Old Testament Scriptures.
9:45 - 10:45 AM - High School students – Students will investigate how to see our daily events through a Christian view. Come and discuss how your daily decisions are based on God’s Word.
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm - 1, 2, 3 JOHN. Led by Marvin Schweigert. Held in the Living Room at Faith Lutheran Church. Starting Date: Sept. 17, 2023
This study is part of the LifeLight Bible study series of in-depth studies of Bible books. The goal of LifeLight is that through a regular program of in-depth personal and group study of Scripture, more and more Christian adults may grow in their personal faith in Jesus Christ.

Spurgeon said, “The Book of Psalms instructs us in the use of wings as well as words. It sets us both mounting and singing.” This is the book that may make a skylark out of you instead of some other kind of a bird. This book has been called the epitome and analogy of the soul. It has also been designated as the garden of the Scriptures. Out of 219 quotations of the Old Testament in the New Testament, 116 of them are from the Psalms. You will see 150 spiritual songs which undoubtedly at one time were all set to music. This is a book which ought to make our hearts sing.
Join us at the FLC Living Room on Thursday nights at 6:00 for “Reading the Psalms.” We will read through the Psalms responsively and discuss their meaning as found in the Lutheran Study Bible and the Concordia Publishing book Engaging the Psalms. First meeting Thursday, September 14. Feel free to join us as your schedule allows, if you miss a night it doesn’t mean you are out of the loop.
