“మీరు సత్యమును గ్రహించెదరు; అప్పుడు సత్యము మిమ్మును స్వతంత్రులనుగా చేయును” (యోహాను 8:32)

సెర్మన్ లాబ్ అనే ఈ స్థలం బైబిల్ వాఖ్యభాగాల్ని సరికొత్త విధానాల్లో తెలుసుకోటానికి చూడగలిగిన ఒక ప్రదేశం. దేవుని ప్రజల్ని నేటి ప్రపంచంలో వారి వారి విశ్వాసాల్లో సృజనాత్మకంగా మరియు నమ్మకంగా ఉండేటట్లు సిద్ధపర్చటమనేది దీని ముఖ్యోద్దేశ్యం.

ఇది, ఆంధ్ర సౌవార్తిక లూథరన్ సంఘలోవున్న వాఖ్యభోధకులకి ప్రతి ఆదివారం ఇవ్వబడిన మూడు వాక్యభాగాలకు సంబంధించిన వివరణలు, విశ్లేషణలు మరియు అంతరార్ధాల్ని వ్యాఖ్యానాల రూపంలో అందిస్తుంటుంది.

ఇవి, ప్రపంచ దేశాలు మరియు భారతదేశంలోని అనేక ప్రాంతాలనుంచి వారి వారి పాండిత్యానికి, వాఖ్యభాగల్ని సృజనాత్మకంగా అర్థంచేసుకునే విధానానికి, అన్నిటికన్నా మించి, బోధన పరిచర్యయెడల వారికున్న అభిరుచినిబట్టి గుర్తింపుపొందిన వారి ద్వారా అందించబడుతున్నాయి.
