Spring theme:
The Gift of Faith
This spring, lessons in Adult Bible Studies follow the theme, “The Gift of Faith.” The student book writer is Jack Gilbert; Von Unruh is the writer for the teacher book.
Tests of Faith
The
quarter’s first four lessons deal with powerful faith, simple faith,
struggling faith, and resurrection faith by examining biblical texts
from Mark’s Gospel.
Restorative Faith
The
first lesson in the second unit examines Luke’s account of the healing
of the centurion’s servant, while the second lesson continues in Luke 7
with a focus on the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive
perfume. The third lesson features Luke’s account of Jesus healing the
demon-possessed man; and the next lesson, also from Luke, explores the
account of the prodigal son. The last lesson in this unit focuses on
Jesus’ teaching about forgiveness and giving and receiving correction.
Fullness of Faith
The
four lessons that conclude this quarter’s study again come from Luke’s
Gospel. The first looks at Jesus’ healing of the ten lepers; the second
examines Jesus’ contrast of the Pharisee and the tax collector. The
third lesson explores Jesus’ teaching about having childlike faith. The
final lesson of this quarter highlights joyous faith by reviewing Jesus’
encounter with the tax collector Zacchaeus.
Based on the Uniform
Series, this quarterly study presents stimulating lessons that explore
the biblical message and how to apply it to daily life. The curriculum
helps adults move from a focus on the Word to reflection on personal,
family, church, and community concerns. Ideal for a variety of settings,
lessons are Bible-based, Christ-focused, and United Methodist-approved curriculum for use in adult Sunday school classes, mid-week
Bible study, and small-group studies. Available in regular and large
print or as an eBook.
