Galatians

“Free At Last”  (A Sermon Series from Galatians)
If there ever was a time we needed to hear the message from Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians – it’s today.  We need to hear the Good News of the Gospel that the Apostle Paul preached and proclaimed and wrote about. We need to hear and believe the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that brings faith, freedom, and forgiveness. Join us this Summer at Bethany for this series from Galatians.

June 19 – “One in Christ”        – Gal. 3:23-29

“It is for freedom that Christ has set you free”

Grace Upon Grace

Our study in Adult Bible Class during the Easter Season will be focused on spirituality. That’s kind of a popular word nowadays, but it usually has to do with a regimen of works and is often very self-centered. The spirituality we will be talking about is Lutheran Spirituality, that is, a spirituality centered on what God has done for us in Christ and what we have received in Him.

We are going to learn about how Jesus is the beginning and the end of our spirituality. We receive from Him everything we have – and that includes our spiritual life.

Join us for Bible Class on Sunday mornings at Bethany this Easter Season. If you’re interested in this subject, you may want to order the book this study is based on – “Grace Upon Grace” by Dr. John Kleinig.

“For from His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.” – John 1:16
