Luke Alive Volume 2

Do you feel as though God favors you? That He is on your side? That He is always with you?These are the questions Robert Blair asks in the 13 sermons in Luke Alive, Volume 1e Alive, Volume 1. They cut straight to the Christian heart. They address our greatest fear: that we might not be good enough for God. That we might not enjoy his favor.Blair does not stop short at dismissing our fears with a casual overview of grace. He addresses where they come from, a natural drive to earn favor, to work toward something we can never fully attain ourselves. The Gospel of Luke shows us what we can earn with our actions and what we can't.In the sinful woman who cries at Jesus' feet and cleans them, we see the image of genuine gratitude for forgiveness. In the healing of the crippled woman, we discern that it's always time to do good for other people.Luke Alivee Alive guides ministers through our deepest of Christian fears and desires, and offers satisfying answers based firmly in scripture. It is a must-have volume for pastors seeking to answer direct questions with plain language, whether from the pulpit or the living room couch.Sermon titles include: A Sinful Woman's Noble Lesson (Luke 7:36-50) Is There a Bad Time to Do Good Things? (Luke 13: 10-17) Should the Lord Trust You With His Money? (Luke 16:1-15)Robert Blair pastored the Church of Christ in Hollywood, California for 28 years.
