Sunday Morning Immerse Group
2026-09-13 09:45 - 10:45 (America/New_York) | GA
The Immerse Bible Reading Experience invites you to read scripture in a book club format that makes it easier to engage the big story of the Bible. The Bible is divided into six volumes (Messiah, Beginnings, Kingdoms, Prophets, Poets, and Chronicles), and groups meet weekly for conversation, reflection, and connection.
You are welcome to join a new group even if you haven’t participated before. Most groups are currently reading Kingdoms, while a new group is beginning with Messiah. Books are available in the narthex (about $13), online, or in audio form through Immerse and Spotify. Groups meet both online and in person.

The Apocalypse: Controversies and Meaning in Western History
2026-09-13 09:45 - 10:45 | GA
What do dragons, trumpets, and visions of a new heaven and earth have to do with us today? More than you might think.
This Sunday school class at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection will dive into the Book of Revelation through the lens of Professor Craig R. Koester’s acclaimed Great Courses series. Together, we’ll explore how this mysterious text has shaped faith, culture, and history—from St. Augustine and Martin Luther, to the abolition movement and beyond.
We’ll trace Revelation’s journey from its origins in early Christianity, through centuries of interpretation, to its surprising influence on modern conversations about justice, hope, and new beginnings. Koester’s engaging approach helps us see not just the controversies of the Apocalypse, but also its enduring message of light breaking through darkness.

Biblical Wisdom Literature
For centuries, people have taken comfort and insight from the familiar yet eternally resonant writings of the Bible’s wisdom literature. Through their inspirational teachings, the sages of the biblical wisdom tradition offer time-honored advice about some of life’s most difficult questions.

And yet, few of us realize that these great teachings are part of a larger tradition – a rich and complex body of writings that have influenced theologians, philosophers, and everyday men and women for millennia.

In 36 thought-provoking lectures, award-winning professor Father Joseph Koterski takes you deep inside this tradition, exploring enlightening teachings that have inspired the world and that continue to speak to life’s most important questions. It’s a rare opportunity to study an important but often overlooked tradition of wisdom teaching. And there’s no better guide than Father Koterski. Intellectually incisive yet engaging and accessible, he offers both the expertise of a philosophy and theology scholar and the insights of an ordained priest who has experienced the power of these teachings in everyday life.
