NEW! Synodical Assembly Bible Study Booklet

We are blessed to have Pastor Michael Frese, Deputy Director of LCMS Church Relations, teaching us at the Synodical Assembly. The topic of his Bible Study sessions is ‘If Moses Had Glory, How Much More Christ? A Biblical and Confessional Case for Reverent, Liturgical Worship from 2 Corinthians 3:7–11’.

Pastor Frese graciously gave permission for the essay he is basing his teaching on to be published as a booklet, which you are welcome to download using the button below.
