Bible Studies

Podcasts

The Daily Bite, with Pastor Andrews, is a commentary and reflection on the daily Bible reading recommended in the Faith @ Home Corner. He will regularly point you to Jesus and try to share questions you can ask your children. The goal is for 15-20 minutes. Old episodes can be easily perused here.

The Layman’s Guide to the Lectionary, with Pastor Andrews, is a longer Bible study, aiming for 60 minutes, on the LCMS’ 3 year lectionary--the Old Testament, Epistle, and Gospel texts for the upcoming Sunday. Generally published Wednesday mornings. Old episodes can be easily searched here.

Resources and audio from various Bible studies held at St. Matthew are archived here. The left column below usually represents our Sunday morning Bible study, with the right column showing our Wednesday morning Bible study.
