Wait, what? Christmas is next! In fact, Christmas Eve and Day are the next two days on the calendar. I can’t think about what’s next, about what comes after until I make it through Christmas!
Well, you and I should think about what’s next. What’s next for keeping our connection with the Savior strong? What’s next for feeding our faith to weather whatever life tosses our way next?
Simply stated: what is your plan for personal Bible study in 2021? Below, I share options available through the church I serve, Trinity Lutheran in Minocqua, WI. Perhaps some of these will work for you, especially if you’re part of the Trinity family.
If you’re not close by for any of the in-person opportunities, please make use of what’s available digitally here. And please, don’t hesitate to just dig into the Scriptures on your own. Read a Gospel, read through a Psalm or two a day, take time to meditate on the Word and let it marinate your soul.
What’s next? Jesus, always Jesus. “Your words are a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.” (Psalm 119:105 EHV)
