(12 sessions) Luke's carefully written Gospel, compiled from both oral and written accounts, points to God's gracious salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ. The peace that Christ has brought to the world enables us to break out in a liturgy of praise. The salvation story did not end with Christ's ascension, however; Christ's Church is called to go to "all nations"-men, women, children, the poor, the sick, and the disenfranchised-proclaiming the victory found only in Jesus Christ. Luke speaks to us aboutGod's plan for bringing salvation to both Jew and Gentile;believers' unceasing joy upon hearing the Good News;the work of the Holy Spirit in Jesus' life and in our own;the enduring value and importance of prayer.ContentsTimelineAn Outline of Luke Introduction Lesson 1-The Most Wonderful Child Lesson 2-Galilean Ministry Lesson 3-Jesus, the MessiahLesson 4-The Compassionate SaviorLesson 5-Disciples Trained for ServiceLesson 6-Comfort and WarningLesson 7-God's Power to SaveLesson 8-"Jesus Sinners Doth Receive" Lesson 9-Disciples Pray for Increase of Faith Lesson 10-The King Seeks SubjectsLesson 11-Our Passover LambLesson 12-Our Triumphant Savior Leader NotesEach study in the God's Word for Today series provides an in-depth exploration of a book of the Bible.
