Bible Study

Sessions will run from 6:30 to 8:00 PM on Thursdays and can be attended in-person at Evangelical or online via Zoom. Please contact Pastor Horn to request the Zoom link.

Series Overview

In our three-year cycle of lessons, the Gospel of Matthew is the primary gospel for “Year A,” which starts this fall with Advent and continues through 2023.

The first half hour of each session will be about the assigned passage. How does it fit with the gospel as a whole and its message? The second half hour will pick out passages and details. Where do they fall in the church, and how do they relate to the worship calendar? The last half hour will focus on what speaks to you and the sharing of related experiences.
