Sin and Grace: This is What We Believe

Wrestle with the core understanding that “we don’t choose God—God chooses us.”
Come to terms with the reason “justification by grace through faith” is such a central component of the Lutheran life.

Session Three: March 16

Word, Sacraments and Symbols

We’ll unpack what is meant by the “Word of God” and why the sacraments are a “visible word” through which the Holy Spirit works. We’ll
also explore why we baptize only once but receive communion often, and the use of Christian art in the lives of individuals, families, and congregations.

Acts Bible Study

Course Description: Into the World –

The Acts of the Apostles is Luke’s and our primary account of the church’s earliest mission efforts. This course will examine the fullness
of that story over the course of eight weeks. Here we will visit the key personalities, review their activities, reflect on their meaning,
and discover their message for the church today! It is certain to challenge, engage and motivate us to carry on the mission
of the church in our own time and in our own place
