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.
The Gospel of Luke Unit 3 - Led by Jerry Wulf
Class will begin September 8th.
This fall, the Adult Bible Study class will continue its study of the Gospel of Luke. Class will normally meet Sunday mornings between Church Services (9:45ish until 10:45ish), in the St. Matthew Room, upstairs in the Christian Family Life Center. 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. The early church found that non Jews required much more instruction/education to become believers. They needed a Gospel to help them understand the basic teachings of the Christian faith. Luke wrote such a message. Our study will help you understand what Luke had to say. During his earthly ministry, Jesus practiced "table fellowship." His example set the pattern for early mission activity of the church. It also set the pattern for worship in the church. How does "table fellowship" relate to worship services in the church, today? Our study of Luke will explain this relationship. Luke's Gospel contains many passages that are incorporated into the church's liturgy as Canticles, which are especially rich in OT themes. Can you name them? If not, our study will identify them, review them, and show where they appear in our liturgies. Luke's gospel is a book of the church, written for the church, to be used by the church in its proclamation of the Gospel to both the unbaptized and the baptized. The Holy Spirit works through the teaching of the Gospel to instill faith in the hearer. Those who receive the Gospel become part of the worshipping community.

character. 2. Jeremiah shows us the depths of our sinfulness. 3. Jeremiah shows us the power of our Savior. 4. Jeremiah shows us the riches of the new covenant.
