After studying the Gospel of John and 1,2, and 3, we will now begin the adventure of the last book of the Bible that John wrote: Revelation. "If you think you have God all figured out, if you are convinced that God's Word is boring or that you know it all, think again. When you follow Jesus, around every corner is something new—new insight, new understanding, new ideas, new challenges, new blessings. The book of Revelation captures that wild ride of life in Christ. Strap yourself in and enjoy your journey through the book of Revelation." The study will begin on Monday, September 16, via the Zoom platform on your smart phone or iPad or desktop computer, starting at 7:30 PM Eastern time, 6:30 PM for the folks joining us in Central time and runs for 1 1/2 hours each Monday evening. Purchase the book, Revelation, by Michael Newman either from Amazon or any other online bookstore ahead of time to read Chapter 1 and do the Study Questions on p.26.
Contact the Church Office at flc@firstlutheranchurch.org for information on how to receive a Zoom link from Dawn Boyd, the facilitator for the study. (above quote comes from Michael W. Newman, LCMS Texas District President and author of the study)
In the next five weeks starting Oct. 20th, come discover how to follow Jesus, as you walk with teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan through the breathtaking terrain of Israel and Turkey and explore what it really means to be a disciple. Hope to see you there. Deacons David and Neil
We’ll gather at 11:30 am for fellowship and bag lunch followed by the study at 12 Noon. This time around we’ll be immersing ourselves in the Gospel of John.
Are you interested in learning more about what we believe, teach, and confess about God’s Word, the gift of His Sacraments, and how we live our lives as His children? Are you new to First Lutheran and desire to know more about how you can participate in the life of God’s Church here? If so, join me for a 6-session class called “Discovery” that answers these and other questions you might have. Classes will be held at various times throughout the year. Please contact Pastor Jim at pastor@firstlutheranchurch.org or by calling the office at 410-257-3030 if you are interested in finding out more information.
Our Saturday morning bible study is now open to all—men, women, young, old, anyone who has an interest in understanding the Word of God. The Saturday morning study meets every week via Zoom (click below) from 10:00am-12:00pm. Our study usually revolves around the Sunday scriptures of the week so it's a great way to prepare for Sunday worship! The study isn't a verse-by-verse lecture, but rather a discussion guided by the study leader. This type of study allows us to get to know each other better. After all, how can we love one another if we don't know each other? Why not join us?
