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

Season after Pentecost 


“Every why hath a wherefore.” That was Shakespeare’s poetic way of saying that very little happens by chance. Generally there is an agent behind an action. There is cause and effect. And to navigate life well, it is vital we understand both. If you want to effect a healthy heart, you need to know the causes of heart disease. Before a major purchase causes you to go into debt, you need to think about the effect it will have on your budget. If you want the peace of being close to God, you need to know what causes that effect. Again, to navigate life well, it is vital we understand cause and effect.

We are nearing the end of the Church Year. This past year, we have reviewed Jesus’ life and teaching. The Scripture readings in these final weeks recall some of the major themes that are woven throughout the Church Year. In this final series we will be looking at those themes with the understanding that “every why hath a wherefore.” We conclude the year by talking about cause and effect in God’s kingdom.

Sundays in Bible Class

The Council of Nicaea and It's Creed: A 1700-year History

Our first Sunday morning Bible class this fall will spend time looking at the history and development of the Nicene Creed, its theology, and its relevance today. 

As we celebrate the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed this year, this will be a timely study for us, as we thank God for those who took a stand for the truth so long ago, so that we might still confess it today. Please make plans to join us after worship for this class!

 

 

Wednesdays in Bible Class

Hosea: The First of the Minor Prophets

Please join us as we begin a study of the book of Hosea. 

Like most of God's prophets, Hosea was called by God to deliver stern warnings and strong calls to repentance to God's people because they had fallen into spiritual decay. 

As we study this book, we will see how similar the spiritual condition of Israel is to our world today. God's warnings and calls to repentance are still important today, along with his beautiful promises of forgiveness and restoration. 

This new Bible class will begin on Wednesday, September 3 at 6:30pm. Bring a friend along!

Tough Topic Tuesdays

Tuesday, Nov. 19 and Dec. 3 
@ 6:30 pm

A special monthly Bible class devoted to some of the topics that we face in society today. Some of the topics include mental health, human sexuality, race and politics, roles of men and women, social media and online issues, etc. These classes will give us the chance to dive into these difficult topics and discuss them from a Biblical point of view. 

We have a lot of flexibility with this class. We are using the book, Taboo, by Mike Novotny, as a guide for this class. He covers many of the topics that we'll be talking about. 

You may wonder if your older children could come to this class. It's important to talk about these issues with our kids, so you are welcome to bring them along. You'll always know the topics in advance of each class, so that can help you decide if your kids can handle it or not. 

Beautiful Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church is a confessional Lutheran church in West Des Moines, Iowa.
