Formula of Concord
How we understand the basics of the faith marks how can we try to explain them to others – friends, family, coworkers. Root your understanding through a study of the Formula of Concord and its intersection with Scripture. The Formula is the last document to have been concluded in the Lutheran confessions are the basic statements of the Lutheran faith. That may sound a bit heavy, but the discussion should be lively as we answer questions such as: do humans have free will? Does God’s law still apply if Christ died to us from the law? How could Christ be both divine and human?

Book of Deuteronomy
A look at the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy. In this text, Moses reviews God's Law with His people just before they enter the promised land. Though this may not sound incredibly exciting or practical, I think you’ll be surprised how applicable and valuable the text is for our life of faith in Christ.
