Bible study launched a Philippians series, exploring Paul’s joy amid imprisonment, the meaning of “epistle,” and the Lutheran contrast between a theology of the cross and a theology of glory—finding freedom in Christ whether we live or die.

Bible study explored Mark 4–5’s crescendo of Jesus’ authority over chaos, demons, disease, and death—highlighting faith, compassion, bodily resurrection hope (against Gnostic ideas), cultural context, secrecy in ministry, and the symbolic resonance of “twelve.”

Bible study explored the Gospel of Mark, discussing its three-act structure, Jesus’ identity as the true Son of God, and how His upside-down kingdom—revealed through parables, miracles, and His passion—confronts evil, forgives sins, and calls us to sacrificial discipleship.

We explored Episode 7-8 of The Chosen

This is our last class on The Chosen this year

Our Bible study concluded C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce, exploring how our present-day choices regarding forgiveness, attachments, and community shape our eternal reality, contrasting the misery of Hell (a self-imposed prison locked from the inside) with the joyful, solid reality of Heaven.

We explored Episode 5 of The Chosen (“The Wedding at Cana”), examining themes of calling, community, faith, and Jesus’s patient leadership through the cultural and scriptural lens of the Gospel of John.

On June 18, 2026, our class explored sin’s inward curve, creation’s praise, and the redemptive power of Christ through C. S. Lewis’s imagery in The Great Divorce, discussing how unresolved grief and lust can become idolatry and how surrendering our deepest attachments leads to glorious transformation.

Scenes from The Chosen to explore Jesus’ compassionate mission to outcasts, the meaning of the Sabbath, the power of personal transformation and testimony, childlike discipleship, and the tension between comforting mercy and costly allegiance to Christ.

On June 4, 2026, our church Bible study used C. S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce and the Lord’s Prayer to confront self-will, grumbling, and identity—asking how heaven’s life breaks into our daily choices, relationships, and walk with Christ.

A lively Bible study on June 10, 2026, explored The Chosen’s portrayals of Mary Magdalene, Matthew the tax collector, Peter, and Nicodemus, and how these narratives illuminate Scripture, discipleship, grace, and the humanity of Jesus.
