Spiritual Growth
Lutheran Table Talk

The Table Talk class at Bethany is for people from all backgrounds who have lots of questions. Some may wish to explore some of the basics of the faith. Others may wish to ask about the particular differences between our church and others. All are welcome. We provide an environment of food, laughter and fellowship to be the background for the most important message anyone can receive. No classes are scheduled at this time, but recordings of previous classes are available for review.

We call the class “Table Talk” because as a family chosen by God, the family table is where we connect. It is not unusual to hear in many Christian homes, the table prayer “Come, Lord Jesus.” Jesus is at the center of our table and as we give thanks for the goodness that flows into our lives, we also are sent out so that love, joy and peace can flow from our lives into the lives as others.

TABLE TALK CYCLE


The Search for Jesus
Wise guys. What did Jesus say about Himself? Who do you say He is?

The Cross of Jesus Christ
Why the sign of execution around the neck? Why the empty cross? 

More about The Book
How did the Bible come together? What is up with all those different versions? 

Guidance
The five C.S.es (apologies to Niki Gumble). How do we know when it is God leading us?

Breath of Life
Speaking in the third person. What is conversion?

Evil Inside and Out
Is there really a devil? Can we avoid evil? What is the worst evil?

Giving the Body Life
God’s presence among the people. Is the Church really necessary?

More Life for the Body
More on God’s presence. What is a sacrament?

The Difference between Faith and Religion
Why are people disillusioned by “religion?” The Epistle of straw & good fruit.

Sharing
Can we keep it all to ourselves?
