Scriptures for the Church Seasons.
The Lord is Our Salvation invites us to explore God’s saving and redeeming love through a study of the scripture readings for Lent and Easter. Key Bible readings call us to praise God as we we contemplate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through the readings, we hear the call to celebrate God’s salvation and new life offered through Jesus Christ. The season of Lent offers opportunities to reflect on God’s redemptive action and to explore means of grace that help us experience transformation, a key focus of Lenten worship, study, and prayer. The Lord is Our Salvation is based upon the Revised Common Lectionary scriptures for year B of the church year, a three-year cycle of Bible readings. The study includes commentary and reflection on readings from the Old Testament, the Gospels, and the Epistles. It offers the opportunity to explore these Bible readings in a seven-session study. It will help participants understand, appreciate, and engage in meaningful and life-changing spiritual practices. The study book includes a leader guide with information about the season of Lent, suggestions for starting and leading small groups, Bible background, and discussion activities.
