Description: Listen for God's invitation to new life offered to us through Christ in this Lenten study based on the Revised Common Lectionary. You'll explore God's saving and redeeming love and will be prepared to contemplate God's restoration and new creation through the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Gift of New Creation is written by Thomas Ehrich, known for his winsome theology in 'On a Journey', a newspaper column loved by 3,300 readers daily. 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 and to offer gratitude for God's salvation through Jesus Christ. (Publisher).
