Spirituality is a common term today, but what does it mean? To find the right answer, Lutheran Spirituality directs adult Bible study participants to God's Word.

More DescriptionSpirituality is a common term today, but what does it mean? To find the right answer, Lutheran Spirituality directs adult Bible study participants to God's Word. Lutheran Spirituality explores the Bible, Luther's Small Catechism, and the Lutheran hymnal as integral resources for living out our faith in a spiritually confused-and sometimes confusing-world. This study will probe Confession and Absolution in the multiple ways that they are given us, such as the Lord's Prayer, the Divine Service, words of repentance and forgiveness spoken between brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, and that often overlooked and underused gift of our heritage, individual Confession and Absolution before one's pastor. The goal of this study is to deepen in you the knowledge of Absolution as the comfort and consolation that Christ alone provides when the devil terrorizes you, tempting you to believe his lie that there is no forgiveness of your sins. Session 1: The Truth of Sin Session 2: The Truth of the Law Session 3: The Truth of Repentance Session 4: The Truth of Jesus, the Friend of Sinners Session 5: The Truth of the Absolution Session 6: The Truth of Freedom in the Forgiveness of Sins
