Those who believe in Jesus Christ accept the Bible as the divinely-inspired and so inerrant Word of God that testifies of Him of so leads to eternal life (John 5:39). All Scripture is useful for teaching and for training in righteousness, that our saving faith may also produce the good works God intends for us to produce (2 Timothy 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-10). We want to be in God’s Word and study it so that the Holy Spirit can work through it to grow us spiritually. At Pilgrim Lutheran Church we presently offer “on-ground” opportunities for Adult Bible Study at 9:30 on Sunday mornings before church services and at 7:00 on Wednesday nights (except during the seasons of Advent and Lent, when we have church services at that time). By using the links below, you can catch sessions of current studies you may have missed in person, follow along with current studies completely “on-line”, and review past studies.
We also encourage people to be in God’s Word with daily Bible reading that they can do on their own. For more information on that reading plan, click here.
