Tuesday Mornings
10 AM: “Matthew: The King and His Kingdom” - (24 sessions - Ongoing)
Matthew: The King and His Kingdom shows how Jesus fulfills God’s promises to Israel and establishes his kingdom on earth. Through references to the Old Testament promises of God to his people and the messages God sent them through the prophets, this Bible study provides the key to understanding the rest of the New Testament and Christ as the fulfillment of God’s plan.
Wednesday Mornings:
5:45 AM: (Men’s Bible Study) - “Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance"
Ephesians was one of the most widely circulated of St. Paul’s writings because of its powerful, practical instructions for disciples of Christ. In fact, its six short chapters contain some of the most discussed passages in the New Testament. Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance examines many important themes that are still relevant in today’s Christian culture and society—the nature of marriage, the purpose and role of the Church, the preeminence of grace in God’s plan, and the reality of spiritual warfare.
Presenter Jeff Cavins explores what Paul’s letter to the Ephesians tells us about the nature of the Church—as a body, a household, a mystery, a communion, a bride, and an army. Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance shows the treasures that await us as adopted sons and daughters in the family of God.
8:00 & 10:00 AM (Open to All): “No Greater Love: A Biblical Walk Through Christ's Passion" with noted lecturer, Edward Sri (5 sessions - Ongoing)
Filmed on location in the Holy Land, No Greater Love is a biblical pilgrimage that reveals Christ’s amazing love for us. Best-selling author Edward Sri guides you through the last hours of Christ’s life. You will walk step-by-step with Jesus from the garden of Gethsemane to Mount Calvary. Every step of the way, Old Testament prophecies, messianic expectations, biblical symbolism, and historical context shed light on the mystery of Christ’s suffering and death. Experience a deeper understanding and appreciation of God’s immeasurable and unconditional love for you—grow closer to Jesus than you ever have before.
Thursday Mornings:

Mass Communication - A Journey Through The Mass: The Mass is nothing short of amazing. Through this study St Anthony’s own, Dave Corder, will share about the words, gestures, and the rituals of the Mass. You will encounter God in the most intimate way possible as you hear him speak to us in the Liturgy of the Word and as you receive him Body and Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. Everything we say and do in the Liturgy is steeped in biblical language. This fascinating tour of the Mass will renew your faith and deepen your love for and devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

Personal Testimony
Bible study has been a faith saver for me. I have been a lackadaisical Catholic, going to Mass whenever, and being outside of a religious brotherhood. Bible study has brought my religiom to to the forefront and I have learned so much. Thank you for your wise guidance. Liz Siebert - St. Anthony Parishoner
