What place does the Bible have in your life? Taking part in Bible studies offered at St. Luke’s gives you an authentic understanding of Sacred Scripture, the heart of our Faith and relationship with God, leading us to experience the life-changing power of God’s Word. Study sessions range from long and short term studies of the Old and New Testament to shorter options that study individual books of the Bible with no biblical background necessary.
8 sessions (Overview of the Bible)
NOTE: This course can be taken separate from the study courses below as an introduction with more general content and within a shorter amount of time. The course does not have to be a pre-requisite to the following courses.
The following study courses build upon each other in order. Courses are once a week (approximately 2 hour session) consisting of a video teaching (50 minutes) and small group discussion time (60 minutes). Participants are assigned passages from the Bible to read and to prepare answers to discussion questions at home prior to each small group gathering.
24 sessions (Chronological study of the main narrative, key people, places, and events from Genesis to the times of Christ and His Apostles)
24 sessions (Study of the Gospel of Matthew ~ of all the Gospels, the most comprehensive information on Jesus and his teachings.)
20 sessions (Study of the Book of Acts ~ Story of the development of the early church after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension.)
Other books of the Bible (such as Book of Revelations, Psalms, and a deeper study on the Prophets) and Biblical themed studies are offered throughout the year.

Course offerings will be determined based on responses of interest that will come from a parish survey sent out via FLOCKNOTES (over email and text) during the SUMMER of 2018 and courses would start in FALL of 2018.
