Home - Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church

"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord" Psalm 122:1

“We need better leadership!” Have you ever said that? Perhaps you were frustrated with the direction being taken by some elected official or by management at your workplace or by the coach of your favorite team. You were frustrated because you know that no matter how many resources an organization has, it will flounder if leaders do not lead well: providing direction, training, motivation, coordination, encouragement, and even grace. Leadership is extremely important. And so, there are times we lament, “We need better leadership!”

Jesus Christ is the leader of our congregation, our home, our lives. And his leadership is perfect in every way. Therefore, when things are amiss in any of those arenas, what is needed is not better leadership, but better followership. In this series, we ask Christ to empower us with his Spirit so that we might better follow his lead. May we better reflect the beauty of his life, better make his priorities our own, and better serve our God and neighbor.

Sundays in Bible Class

The Book of II Peter

We are looking forward to a new adult Sunday morning class on the short book of II Peter, beginning on September 8. As we studied I Peter last year, we heard Peter encourage us to be faithful as we suffer for our faith in this world. In that book, however, most of the suffering and persecution was coming from outside the church.

In II Peter, we learn of evil influences that are in the church, which leads Peter to encourage us to daily put our faith into practice, taking our stand against false teaching, with the Last Day growing ever closer.

Please join us as we discuss this important New Testament letter!

Wednesdays in Bible Class

The Book of Mark

On Wednesday, September 11, at 6:30pm, we will begin an in-depth study of the gospel of Mark. The shortest of the four gospels, Mark is full of action, as the inspired author takes us from one account of Jesus' life to the next.

If you've never joined one of our Bible classes before, this would be a great one for you because the best place to begin Bible study is with the gospel. Invite a friend along, too. This class is for everyone, and we pray that you'll join us.
