In preparation for the 69th Regular Convention of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, which will be held in Phoenix this July, a new Bible study that explores the convention theme, “Christ Is Risen Indeed,” is now available. The Bible study was written by the Rev. Timothy J. Pauls, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Boise, Idaho.
This free, downloadable study begins by asking the question the angels asked the women at the tomb: “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” (Luke 24:5). It answers the question by exploring the truth of our Lord’s resurrection as laid out in 1 Corinthians 15: Jesus is not in the tomb because He is not dead! Each of the six lessons includes a short devotion along with Scripture study, a closing prayer and a suggested hymn.
Guides are available for both leaders and participants. You are invited to use this study in your congregations and groups as we join together as a church to proclaim that Christ is risen indeed.
