Christ Is for Us, originally released in 2016, invites readers
to explore God’s saving and redeeming love through a seven-week
study of the Scripture readings for Lent and Easter. Key Bible
passages call us to embrace God’s salvation and the new life
offered to us through Christ.
This study is based on the Revised Common Lectionary scriptures for
year A. 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 offer
gratitude for God’s salvation through Jesus Christ.
Explore God’s saving and redeeming love through a seven-week Lenten study.
