Kindred Spirits

The New Testament and Early Christianity

At Living Lord, we are committed to growing and maturing in our faith in Jesus Christ so that we can recognize opportunities to serve in our community and to nurture Christian relationships as our mission. We are a respectful congregation that encourages questions and opinions. We freely share our life experiences and are concerned about how God calls us to respond to the changes and challenges in the world around us.

Kindred Spirits: Adult Education Class uses college-level curricula to learn from experts, share in discussion, study sacred scriptures, pray together, and move forward on our faith journey. You are invited to join us for our 2019-2020 Course: “The New Testament and Early Christianity.” Classes are held Mondays, 10:00-11:30 in the Activities Hall, October 14, 2019 through May 11, 2020.

During the 2019-2020 program year, we will learn about the historical context of the early Christians to understand our readings in New Testament literature. Dr. Craig Koester (Luther Seminary) and Dr. Luke T. Johnson (Candler School of Theology) present video lectures on theology and history. We will learn that Jesus and his disciples were centered in both Judaism and a restrictive Greco-Roman culture. What new message did Jesus bring? What was the role of St. Paul? The Resurrection experience changed the direction of ordinary lives and established a community led by the Holy Spirit to share the “good news” of God’s Kingdom.
