Suitable for Small Groups JESUS, THE COMPASSIONATE SAVIOR – Luke, Parts 1 & 2 Steve Binz

PRAYER, FASTING, ALMSGIVING: Spiritual Practices That Draw Us Closer to God Keys to the Bible Series

Luke wrote his gospel for all Gentiles seeking to understand God’s universal plan of salvation in Jesus, the Saviour of all people. His narrative continues to show people how the stories of Jesus transcend their setting in the first century Palestine to speak powerfully in every age. The second half of Luke’s gospel narrates Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem and shows the inclusiveness of his love even for those who crucify him.

Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are often called the ‘spiritual disciplines’. This bible study selects six readings from scripture for each spiritual discipline. Each passage confronts us with some of the most important aspects of these practices, showing us why we undertake them. Excellent book for Lent but can also be used at any time of the year.
