Interactive Faith – To the Ends of the Earth
To the Ends of the Earth
Beginning in your Backyard
As a Christian, you know the joy, peace, and hope of being sure your sins are forgiven and eternal life is yours. You want others to know this as well.
But, perhaps—like many Christians—telling others about Jesus is daunting. What do I say? How do I say it? What if I don’t have answers to people’s questions?
Join us for our next Interactive Faith Bible study as we discuss these very questions and concerns. Pastor Eric Roecker, director of the WELS Commission on Evangelism, will use video vignettes from the new movie To the Ends of the Earth to guide our discussion. Our prayer is that these lessons will make you more confident in your conversations with those who do not yet know their Savior.
Join us on November 7, 14, and 28 (6 & 8 p.m. CST). Lord willing, through the Word and our time together, the Spirit will embolden you to take the gospel to the ends of the earth, beginning in your backyard.
Check back for study guides before the first class.
Interactive Faith – Isaiah: God confronts and comforts his people
Led by Rev. Daniel Habben, pastor at St. John, St. John’s, Antigua
“Isaiah: God confronts and comforts his people” covers the first 12 chapters of Isaiah. “ ‘A virgin will be with child . . . and he was pierced for our transgressions.’ Seven hundred years before the arrival of God’s Son into our world, the Holy Spirit worked especially hard through the prophet Isaiah to get the people of his day to turn from their sin and embrace their Savior-God,” says Habben. “Through the words of Isaiah, God still confronts and comforts his people.”
Interactive Faith – Luther’s Lasting Impact
Led by Prof. Joel Otto from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary
Prof. Otto writes, “Luther’s Reformation led to profound developments that impacted the church and how people learn, confess, and live their faith. As Lutherans living in the 21st century, what Luther brought about is still part of who we are as Christians and as a church. This study will examine those developments that continue to have a lasting impact.”
Interactive Faith – Marriage Enrichment
