This Christmas, give yourself a gift that will strengthen your faith. Rediscover the original Christmas story through an innovative approach to Bible Study. Using home-movie technology, which folks can access online, I am teaching this six-part series that will dig deep into the stories of Jesus’ birth as told in Matthew and Luke’s gospels. Since this a regular part of my teaching ministry at St. James Lutheran, it is provided ‘free of charge’. You can sign up to participate in the full study - online, in-person (at St. James Lutheran, Burnsville), or a mix - by clicking here.

-or- you can access the six videos - right here each week.

ASK THE PASTOR:

(from last week) - Matthew’s timeline seems a little off? What gives?

 

Part Four: Songs of Praise - Luke Chapter One

ASK THE PASTOR:
