Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church
"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord" Psalm 122:1
Season after PentecostUndivided AttentionWe live in a world where a thousand things are competing for our attention. There is the real danger that we focus on the frivolous and ignore the indispensable. As a result, we often talk about the importance of being “free from distraction.” But the stakes are higher than that. We need to be freed from distraction. We need the spiritual power to give our undivided attention to that which truly makes a difference, not only here and now, but also in eternity. A life focused on all the right things is only possible because of a Savior who is always focused on us. On the Day of Pentecost, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to give his followers power and focus. Still today, through his Word, Jesus grants those gifts to his disciples.We have come to the second half of the Church Year. In the first half, we focused on the life of Christ. In this second half, we turn our attention to all the teachings of Christ. May we give them our undivided attention.Join us for a new series: Undivided Attention. |

Sundays in Bible Class
Summer in the Psalms
Martin Luther called the Psalms a little Bible within the Bible because of how rich it is in doctrine and application and how it gives us an amazing look into the hearts of some of God's people.
As we dig into the psalms this summer, we will look to grow in faith and in our understanding of this rich book, be encouraged to include the psalms in our devotional life and actually join Jesus in singing the psalms!
Wednesdays in Bible Class
Gospel Freedom: A Look at the Book of Galatians
On June 4, at 6:30pm, we will begin a new midweek Bible class on the book of Galatians.
Written by the apostle Paul to believers who were being tempted to add their own works to the work of Christ, this book offers an amazing look into the freedom that is ours through Jesus Christ.
We'll see the timeless nature of God's Word as we notice that the temptations faced by the Galatians are much like the ones that we face every day, and, just like the Galatians, we'll find our true hope and freedom in Jesus Christ and what he's done for us. Please join us!
Tough Topic Tuesday
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.
For our first Tough Topic Tuesday, we looked at a few mental health topics like anxiety and depression. We’ve also covered human sexuality.
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.
