Fall 2023
Bible Studies for Everyone
The Book of Romans, by Paul
Martin Luther wrote, in 1545, “This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian’s while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul. It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it becomes and the better it tastes.” Just bring your Bible and be ready for an engaging discussion of this important New Testament letter to the church in Rome.

The Lord’s Prayer Bible Study
Most Christians know the Lord’s Prayer by heart. We pray it often, at different times and in different settings. But do we really understand and appreciate the meaning and power of the words that Jesus taught his disciples? Do we know what we ask of God each time we pray it? Or do we simply recite the words never wondering what it all means?
Join us for a FREE 3-week bible study based on Adam Hamilton’s book, “The Lord’s Prayer”, and learn how to use this prayer as a pattern for your own prayer life.
Tuesdays | September 12 – 26 | 1:00-2:30pm | Room B5

Bible Studies for Men
The Gospel of Matthew has long been popular as instructional writings for Christians through the ages and was widely used in early Christian communities as they developed their theologies on how to live and follow Christ’s teachings. Matthew focuses on Jesus as King and Messiah, helping us to understand that there is a great kingdom in heaven and on earth which we as believers are now citizens. As we enter here on earth this “Kingdom of Heaven” as citizens, there are important things we must know and understand as we live our lives that brings the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. This will become clearer as we read and study this important book of the Bible. You will be encountering some of Jesus’ most famous teachings: “Love your enemies,” “Turn the other cheek, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow,” “Let the children come,” “Go make disciples of all nations,” and the Lord’s prayer.
