The Church is Christ’s perfect bride, until you involve people.

Each week will be a stand-alone lesson on a controversy starting with the book of Acts and moving towards the present day. Learn from their mistakes not only as a church, but as individuals in our own lives and our own controversies

Description:
Christmas in July is a popular summer device for sales, TV shows and movies. We will continue our own celebration looking toward Christmas with Isaiah, the Old Testament prophet who is quoted more than any other in the New Testament. Many, and probably most of these, point to the birth of Jesus, the Messiah. This is not a thorough verse by verse study, but rather a look at selected passages that highlight God’s promises of our Savior through Isaiah.

Who Is Welcome?
This study is a Bible based discussion oriented class and is ideal for individuals who have a basic knowledge of Christianity and some familiarity with the Bible. It’s not necessary to be a Trinity member or even Lutheran and visitors are always warmly welcomed.
