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.
