Lutheran Essentials meets in the undercroft of the church on Wednesday evenings at 7pm. Currently we are studying the Augsburg Confession using the 2nd Edition of the Readers Edition of the Book of Concord. If you do not have a copy we are providing them for free.
The Psalm for this session is Psalm 119:129-136 (Pe). The Small Catechism lesson is the Second Petition of the Lord’s Prayer. Previously we covered the article on the Mass (XXIV).
This week we will be covering Confession (XXV). We will discuss Confession and the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church that were corrected by the Reformers. The Confutation disagrees with this article as well but we have already covered the Apology on this article when we did Confession (XI). The hymn for this article is “Savior, When in Dust to Thee” (LSB 419).
Next we will cover the Distinction of Meats (XXVI). We will discuss whether any human tradition can justify and the place of Church tradition and practice. The Confutation disagrees with this article as well but we have already covered the Apology on this article when we did Apology Article XV (VIII) on Church Ceremonies . The hymn for this article is “By Grace I’m Saved” (LSB 566).
As always new people are always welcome to this study at any point during the class. Please talk to the Pastor, Elders or Paul Edmon if you have any questions. Have a blessed 2nd week of Easter.
