Sundays
Adult Bible Study: The Gospel of Luke with Martin Luther
Sundays, 9:15 am – 10:15 am (beginning Sunday, January 12)
Conference Room in Keller House
On January 12, our Sunday morning Bible Study will begin reading the Gospel of Luke. During this four-week class, we will also study the sixteenth century reformer, Martin Luther, and his own interpretation of Luke’s Gospel. A mixture of Bible study and Church history, this class will be not only a chance to hear God in Scripture, but also a chance to hear what God has spoken to one of our Christian ancestors. Participants are encouraged to bring a Bible with them to each session. To learn more, or to sign up for the Bible Study's emails, contact the Rev. Thomas Alexander (thomas@trinitylittlerock.org). Below is the reading schedule:
January 12 – Luke 1–2
January 19 – Luke 3–9
January 26 – Luke 10–19:27
February 2 – Luke 19:28–24:53
Mondays
