Tuesday Evening Bible Study
MISSION: To study faith-related topics of
all kinds in a relaxed, informal setting.
HOW IS THIS DONE? Below are a few
examples of Bible studies we have done in the
past.
“NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY” by Kelly A. Fryer
In this Bible study; we read verses from the
Bible, listened for God's voice and talked about
what we heard.
“SEE THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES” by Harry Wendt
This Bible study underscored the importance of
understanding all that preceded Jesus, in order
to grasp the truly immense and earth-shattering
nature of His life and ministry.
“OPENING THE BIBLE” by Robert Kysar. This
study helped us rethink some of the questions
that haunt us today concerning the Bible and
helped us toward reading the Bible with greater
meaning.
“TEN KEY PEOPLE FROM THE BIBLE - Bible Basics
for Adults” In this study we read passages that
have given strength and guidance to people for
centuries. These passages helped us become
familiar with key stories of the Bible and to
see our life experiences as a part of the story
of the people of God.
“WHO IS JESUS?” by Sheldon Tostengard, “WHO IS
THE HOLY SPIRIT?” by Foster R.& Jannine B.
McCurley, “WHY BOTHER?” by Robert Benne and
“WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END?” by Philip Ruge-Jones.
These books provided key biblical and Lutheran
theological teachings that served as the
foundation for discussion which helped us
connect these core teachings with our lives
today.
MEETINGS: Currently we plan to meet from
October through mid
December, every Tuesday evening in the
Fellowship Room from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
CONTACT PERSON: Amy Setlock @ 651-9603
