Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church
"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord" Psalm 122:1
Season after PentecostUndivided AttentionWe live in a world where a thousand things are competing for our attention. There is the real danger that we focus on the frivolous and ignore the indispensable. As a result, we often talk about the importance of being “free from distraction.” But the stakes are higher than that. We need to be freed from distraction. We need the spiritual power to give our undivided attention to that which truly makes a difference, not only here and now, but also in eternity. A life focused on all the right things is only possible because of a Savior who is always focused on us. On the Day of Pentecost, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to give his followers power and focus. Still today, through his Word, Jesus grants those gifts to his disciples.We have come to the second half of the Church Year. In the first half, we focused on the life of Christ. In this second half, we turn our attention to all the teachings of Christ. May we give them our undivided attention.Join us for a new series: Undivided Attention. |

Sundays in Bible Class
The Council of Nicaea and It's Creed: A 1700-year History
Our first Sunday morning Bible class this fall will spend time looking at the history and development of the Nicene Creed, its theology, and its relevance today.
As we celebrate the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed this year, this will be a timely study for us, as we thank God for those who took a stand for the truth so long ago, so that we might still confess it today. Please make plans to join us after worship for this class!
Wednesdays in Bible Class
Hosea: The First of the Minor Prophets
Please join us as we begin a study of the book of Hosea.
Like most of God's prophets, Hosea was called by God to deliver stern warnings and strong calls to repentance to God's people because they had fallen into spiritual decay.
As we study this book, we will see how similar the spiritual condition of Israel is to our world today. God's warnings and calls to repentance are still important today, along with his beautiful promises of forgiveness and restoration.
This new Bible class will begin on Wednesday, September 3 at 6:30pm. Bring a friend along!
Tough Topic Tuesday
Returns Tuesday, September 23 @ 6:30 p.m.
A special monthly Bible class devoted to some of the topics that we face in society today. Some of the topics include mental health, human sexuality, race and politics, roles of men and women, social media and online issues, etc. These classes will give us the chance to dive into these difficult topics and discuss them from a Biblical point of view.
We have a lot of flexibility with this class. We are using the book, Taboo, by Mike Novotny, as a guide for this class. He covers many of the topics that we'll be talking about.
You may wonder if your older children could come to this class. It's important to talk about these issues with our kids, so you are welcome to bring them along. You'll always know the topics in advance of each class, so that can help you decide if your kids can handle it or not.
