Bible studies suspended

With Pastor Hanson's departure, Bible study at St. Mark has been put on hold.

St. Mark Bible studies are open to members and non-members alike and you may join us at any time. The only requirement is that you come with an inquiring mind and a willingness to listen to your neighbors as they share their faith, understandings, and questions with the group.

Since November 2008, the group had on several interesting studies:

• How the Bible came to be and how to use various resources to study it;
• The Gospel of St. Mark
• Luther's Small Catechism and the principles of Lutheran theology;
• The Book of Acts;
• Epistle to the Galatians.
• Genesis

About Lutherans

“Faith active in love” is the best summary of what we believe it is to be a Lutheran. Specifically, a Lutheran is a Christian who has faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and who lives that faith in love toward our neighbors and all of God's creation. Lutherans share a common faith with other Christians.

St. Mark by the Sea Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Florida-Bahamas Synod

As Lutherans we:

• accept the Bible is a divinely inspired book that is the source of Christian love, guidance, and teaching;
• accept the same three ancient creeds — the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds;
• believe that the Holy Spirit creates in us the faith we need.

Lutherans proclaim God's message by:

• emphasizing that we are saved by the grace of God alone and not by what we do;
• teaching that we live according to Christian love;
• working for peace and justice among all people.

Lutheranism had its beginnings in Germany in 1517 when Martin Luther, a priest and university professor, publically called for the correction of errors within the Roman Catholic Church. Luther was a professor, pastor, author, and a reformer of the Church. His ideas still stimulate new thinking and acting in the church he help found and in many other churches around the world. He is respected but not worshipped.
