Adult Education & Bible Studies
PB's Sunday Adult Education Class - Beginning December 7th
THE INCARNATION OF JESUS AND THE COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON
PB’s Sunday Education Class is in Fellowship Hall between services at 9:45am.
For the next three Sundays in Advent to prepare for Christmas we will take a deep dive into the “Incarnation” and the development of the church’s doctrine when it comes to the two natures of Jesus. The Council of Nicaea clarified the divinity and equality of Jesus with the Father, the Council of Constantinople clarified the relationship of the Trinity and divinity of the Holy Spirit, and now we will finish this Fall’s theme on the Councils of the church, by looking at the Council of Chalcedon where the interaction and relationship of the two natures were clarified. (In January we will get more practical and discuss the relationship and interaction of the church with society).

This year PB’s Thursday Bible Study will walk through the Gospel of John. This Gospel is often said to be a more “theological” Gospel than the synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke). One way to look at it is this: The Gospel of John is written in such a way that we will now not miss what many did. It is a well known fact that the Gospel according to John was Luther’s most loved Gospel. Come and take a deep dive into this amazing Gospel that truly does deliver God’s mercy and grace in Christ Jesus. We hope to cover about a ½ chapter in each session and finish by the end of next summer!

Midweek Scripture Reflections
Manna Bible Study meets on Wednesdays at 10:30am to discuss the texts for the upcoming Sunday Worship Service.
Foundations of the Faith is a multi-week program led by Pastor Bill, at least twice a year. The content is necessary for adults to become members of Silverdale Lutheran Church, but it is very helpful for all of us, no matter where we are at in our faith journey. A sample of the subjects covered are: The meaning of the Gospel, The Word, Sacraments, Lutheran Heritage and Theology, The Creeds, Worship-Process & Content, Prayer, Service, Spiritual Gifts, and Giving. Interested? Email slc@silverdalelutheran.org and we’ll send you the info!
