What if I told you there was a war waging around you? That, “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms?” What if I told you that there is one out there prowling around like a lion, whose only aim is to kill and destroy you? And what if I told you that you are caught right in the middle of it? Just like when Katniss Everdeen discovered the devastating reality of her existence in District 12, the games stopped being games and protection and sustenance became all that mattered. Interested?  Come see what we can learn from the Hunger Games about you and Jesus! Pastor Mize serves Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church Hickory, NC.

The Hunger Games: Dystopia to Utopia - Rev. Gaven Mize

Not all Bible Studies are innocent and harmless just because they study the Bible. Non-Lutheran Bible Studies, in particular, pose a great danger to Christians because underneath the fellowship of hugs and coffee and friendly faces lies a foundational reality: not everyone reads Scripture with the same interpreting lens. This is why we, as Lutherans, boldly confess “Solus Christus,” Christ Alone, as the chief article of the faith, and that upon which all other teachings depend. We will discuss how Solus Christus must inform any study of Scripture.   Pastor Voltattorni serves Zion Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI.

The Danger of Non-Lutheran Bible Studies - Rev. Anthony Voltattorni

There are three aspects or uses of Holy Scripture: Its theological use, its ecclesiastical use, and its liturgical use. The Bible is more than data, more than an historical report of what happened. It is God’s Word, given to be used in the Church, by the Church and for the Church. Its natural home is within the context of Christian worship. All other uses are derivatives of that. Come and learn about this uniquely Lutheran approach to using Scripture. Pastor Kavouras serves Christ Lutheran Church Cleveland, OH.

This breakaway was taught at Crucified 2014 in Mequon, WI.
