Adult Education

Beginning January 15 and continuing through February 19, members and friends of Hope Lutheran Church are invited to participate in a thorough exploration of the early chapters of St. Matthew’s Gospel. Our sermons and adult education classes (Sundays and Wednesdays) will focus on story after story, to help us learn how St. Matthew portrays Jesus as the long-awaited Christ, the Messiah, and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Along the way, we’ll gain a renewed sense of who Jesus is in our lives. Home study materials are available below for each week, as part of this congregational study program, as well.
