Monthly Bible Study

Baptism in the Gospels

As with all things, each gospel has their own vision and understanding of baptism. For instance, Mark begins with the baptism of Jesus, and John has no baptism story. Yet, John makes references to the necessity of baptism throughout his gospel and Mark barely mentions it again. Baptism is how faith is awakened in us by God, it is how we are bound to Christ forever, it is an everlasting promise renewed every day and with our final breath. We’ll take some time to look at the primary sources of our Lutheran understanding of how water, mixed with God’s Word, give us abundant life.

Our mostly monthly Bible Study sessions return after worship Sunday, Sept 27. Each month we spend time learning more about the stories or books of the Bible our congregation is reading together for “Trinity Reads the Bible.”
This means our topic for September will be stories of baptism in the gospels. Anyone can come, everyone is invited. Pastor Josh leads the conversation.
