LWBS is an auxiliary of the Pacific Southwest District of the Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod.
Living Way Bible Study (LWBS) is a practical course of study with a special emphasis on the application of God's Word to the life of the individual.
While emphasizing practical application, LWBS presents each book of the Bible as the holy, inspired, Word of God, the confessional position of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod.
Our purpose is to help equip believers to live joyfully in God's redeeming love and to share with others God's plan of salvation.
LWBS is also a means to reach those interested in the Christian faith and who may not be members of a church. With its emphasis on the Bible itself, it has an appeal to Christians as well as to others who are searching for the truth.
Dismissed by some as "the most pessimistic book in the Bible," Ecclesiastes is actually a "book of comfort" (Luther) that yields rich rewards for those who will read it patiently with an open heart. It's honest talk about coping with life as it really is, not as we wish it to be. Apart from God, life IS meaningless! But with God, we can savor the simple gifts of work, mealtime, and family. Open this book and hear from this worldly-wise Preacher how "God's got this."

“We've just arrived at the end of our LWBS lessons on John. We are in awe that the lessons coincide with the Lenten season and prepare us for a joyful Easter! We did not plan it that way, but maybe God delights in these little surprises for us! My firm belief (that in-depth Bible study creates a hunger for more and more) keeps being confirmed. When we break for Christmas, Easter or summer, there are constant comments: I miss Bible study so much, the break was so long, I'm so glad we're back! It is wonderful to hear our women craving God's Word! Thank you for your integral part in this."

Once again thank you the ministry of LWBS. I wanted to preach on the OT story of Noah and honestly your ministry provides some of the best research in this Genesis account.

We are so very thankful that you offer such a wonderfully deep, yet understandable, Law and Gospel based series of Bible studies. Our congregation has been truly blessed with the opportunities to dig into the Old Testament scriptures as well as the New Testament scriptures. We have been challenged and blessed to struggle with Scriptures that we thought we knew very well, yet with each lesson we were left realizing that there was a depth to the portions of Scripture we had studied that we missed in studies from other resources. Thank you for making this so very affordable for congregations with smaller budgets.

I stumbled across this study (Letters of John) on Google and I'm glad I did. It's hard finding quality studies earthed in Lutheran theology. Thank you for this!
