"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord"  Psalm 122:1

Wounds that Heal

Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.

“Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem” (Luke 13:22). Jesus knows that when he gets to Jerusalem, he is going to die. So, with a sense of extreme urgency, Jesus shares truths we need to hear, even though it hurts to hear them. In this series, we might not like everything that Jesus says. Yet, to ignore what Jesus teaches is to court eternal death. Hard as it may be, let us listen and take all that Jesus says to heart. For while Jesus speaks words that wound us, his intent is to heal our very soul.

Join us for a new series: Wounds that Heal.

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. 

Beautiful Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church is a confessional Lutheran church in West Des Moines, Iowa.
