Our Spring Bible Series begins Wednesday!
We will be using the Word on Fire study on “The Eucharist.” This 6 week study goes over the Catholic Church view on the Eucharist. To do this class you will need go on the Word on Fire website and buy the “Eucharist Study Guide.” The guide book is $14.95 plus shipping. On Wednesdays we watch the video of the week and go over the homework answers to the question in the guide book.
Word On Fire Description of the Study:
This fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light its reality as sacred meal, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God, and the Real Presence of Christ. Groups meet for sixty minute sessions to explore the Eucharist as sacred meal, which is foreshadowed in many parts of the Old Testament, the once-and-for-all sacrifice that reunited humanity with God, and the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ, present through transubstantiation.
Each session includes video viewing and small group discussion of the Study Guide questions. Participants read the commentary in the Study Guide and prepare the questions before the small group discussion. Each section provides “Questions for Understanding” based on the video presentation and references from Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, plus the “Questions for Application” that help you reflect on how the material is relevant to your own life and experience.
This preparation can be done either before or after they view the video, as the Commentary in each lesson is very detailed. The Study Guide Commentary was written by Bishop Barron and two Word on Fire staff members, who also hold Masters of Theology degrees, Rozann Lee and Robert Mixa.
