THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT BIBLE CLASS

ZECHARIAH: YOUR KINGDOM COME!
Dates: Sundays, February 18–March 24
Teaching Leader: Pastor Reed Lessing
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 14th
and so does our emphasis on the book of Zechariah. The
prophet’s chief concern is God’s kingdom. Throughout
all fourteen chapters, Zechariah fervently announces that
God’s kingdom is coming through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The book of Zechariah abounds with stunning portraits
of our Savior. Based upon his 2021 Concordia Publishing
House commentary, this Bible Study, led by Pastor Reed,
will build upon our mid-week Lenten and Holy Week
services. Great joy and delight await all participants!
GENESIS IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
Dates: Sundays, February 18–March 24
Teaching Leader: Jeff Coffin
When carefully reading the Gospel of John, many themes
from early Genesis (Genesis 1–3 mainly) come flying off the
page. John has intended us to read his Gospel as the fruition
of the work God started at creation and will finish in the new
creation. Early Genesis, correctly understood, sets the table
for how to understand the remainder of Scripture. During
Lent we will delve deep into this book to see how Jesus
fulfills what God always intended. If you have never known
why John 20 is considered to be one of the most treasured
chapters of the Bible, you’ll not want to miss this study.
