Just as Christ is the great High Priest, the greater than Moses and Levi, so also are those who are in Christ part of a greater spiritual priesthood offering up a greater sacrifice to God. Join us as we continue our discussion of the book of Hebrews, talking about the nature of the spiritual priesthood, the way in which we offer sacrifices to God, and the reasons why Christ’s bloody sacrifice can never be repeated.

“For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.” As we enter Lent, Peter’s words teach us the importance of spiritual discipline, including fasting. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. What else does the Bible have to say about fasting? Why did the early church very quickly adopt fasting? Why should we practice fasting today?

Join us for the first in a multi-part series on the Election Controversy in American Lutheranism, a struggle that had its roots in Reformation-era disputes about free will, Scripture’s clarity, and God’s election of grace. We look at the basics of the doctrine of election or predestination, Luther’s dispute with Erasmus, and the developments during Lutheran Orthodoxy that brought so much contention to American Lutherans centuries later.
