Walk with Jesus – His Last Week on Earth
February 19 to April 9. Adult Sunday Morning Study at 9:15am. During Lent this year we will reconstruct the final days of our Lord among us. Eight Gospel studies will enable us to relive with him each day, from the triumphal entry to the empty tomb. En route, we’ll witness the last meal with his disciples, his trial, his suffering and crucifixion, and his resurrection. The Gospel narratives are brisk through his three year ministry but all four eye witnesses “slowed the camera down” during Holy Week to show how intentional his passion was. He knew he was going to be persecuted – smitten, stricken and afflicted – yet he walked the path to cross with confident faith and consummate love. This chronology of his last week on earth will remind us why “believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)
THINKING AHEAD FOR LENT
Injustice (Matthew 26:57-68) Despite the verdict of “guilty” heaped upon him with lies and false testimony, Jesus held his ground. His framework was “gentle kindness” a concept in Greek that means the supernatural ability to work for the betterment of people who are exasperating you and exhausting your patience. We note that has to be God at work. It’s because love “always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” (1 Cor. 13) He bore the injustice for us. He did it willingly. Out of pure love.
WOMENS BIBLE STUDY
Ladies please join us for a 5 week women’s bible study called “Our Bible Sisters”. This series looks at a different woman of the Bible in each lesson, highlighting God’s faithfulness in her life, with applications to the lives of all Christian women today. We will meet in the church office classroom, Sunday evenings at 7:00pm now through April 2nd. If you have any questions please contact Katie Raddatz at [email protected].
ADULT BIBLE STUDY
1 Samuel – A Bible study on Tuesday evenings meets from 7:00 to 8:30pm in the classroom which is located near the copier room in the lower level school hallway. Come join us as we look at the kings of Israel and discover the lessons we are to learn from their life stories. A participant says, “I realized how much value there is in sharing with the class and applying what we learned from one another.” Bring your point of view because you will be able to give it during our discussions.
SENIOR ADULT BIBLE STUDY
Book of Galatians. In our study of the book of Galatians, we will see that the hope of our salvation lies in the pure gospel alone and not the law, that the gospel frees us from the demands of the law, and that the gospel provides the motivation to live lives of service to God and others. The class will be taught by Staff Minister Hering in the Church Office Classroom on Tuesdays at 10:30 am, and will meet through the winter and into the spring.
