Acts to Revelation

Wednesday nights, 6:15 - 7:30 p.m.

We live out faith together! We gather to connect, recharge, support one another and grow in faith together. 

Enjoy a spiritual and intellectual adventure like no other with this study which offers a comprehensive, book-by-book analysis of the Bible from the fascinating perspective of literature and narrative. Delivered by religion scholar and acclaimed professor, Dr. Craig R. Koester of Luther Seminary, weekly video lectures, and discussion guide you through ancient stories, empowering you to engage with the books of the Bible as richly meaningful texts. 

In-person (Fellowship Hall) and via Zoom:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82454763586?pwd=MGZjRTJ0SGEzM1kyU0orc3Y4ZGY1QT09   Meeting ID: 824 5476 3586   Passcode: 983050

Attendance each week is not required, as each lesson is an engaging study in itself, but regular attendance is rewarded with a more profound sense of how the bible progresses and builds as the story of God and God’s people.
