God's Divine Design
February 17-19, 2012
God's Design. He made them male and female. He
made Adam for Eve and Eve for Adam. He brought
them together. He does the joining! His design shows us
the picture of how it is between Jesus and His Bride the
Church. We'll took at relationships, dating, and the birds
and the bees from God's design. He's the one, after all,
who made us and brings us together!

Believing in an Age of Skepticism
March 16, 2012
Has Science replaced Religion? Does Evolution disprove
Creation? Has Science disproved the existence of God? If
there is a God why is there so much suffering in the world?
Is faith contrary to reason? Is the Bible reliable? Why do we
believe what we believe? Feel challenged by atheism and
skepticism? Are you skeptical yourself? Let's talk.

God's No and God's Yes
March 24, 2012
We Lutherans talk a lot about the difference between Law and Gospel. You know the terms. But what difference does it make? You’ve heard about C. F. W. Walther, too, but what’s he got to say about this for us today? We’ll open up our Bibles, ask each other lots of questions, and find out. Yeah, it makes a difference – in like everything we do: knowing Christ, hearing and sharing God’s Word, living every day. It’s one of the highest things!
