"Lord, teach us to pray..." (Luke 11:1)

Luke is the gospel of the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is the energy of God.

The third in a four-part study of the Gospel of Luke, focused on Luke 11:1-13. When Jesus teaches on prayer following Luke's version of the Lord's Prayer, we suddenly find even divine hierarchies dismantled. Two stories reveal just what prayer means to a God who seeks life with us.

Spirit over Empire

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me..." (Luke 4:18)

Luke is the gospel of the Holy Spirit.

The first in a four-part study of the Gospel of Luke. Three stories early in the Gospel show us the revolutionary, world-transforming power of the Spirit that overwhelms Luke's orderly account of the life of Jesus and the early church:

--Luke 1:1-4 & Acts 1:1-5, the Prologues
--Luke 1:26-56, the Song of Mary
--Luke 4:14-30, the Beginning of Jesus' Ministry

You Will Be Afraid

"This is but the beginning of the birth pangs." (Mark 13:8)

The fourth in a four-part study of the Gospel of Mark. Three stories move us toward the core meaning of the Gospel of Mark, through suffering and fear to disbelief, and the courage to act:

--Mark 13, the Apocalypse
--Mark 14:1-9, the Anointing at Bethany
--Mark 16:1-8, the Women at the Tomb

The Kingdom of Heaven

"Are you envious because I am generous?" (Matthew 20:15)

The fourth in a four-part study of the Gospel of Matthew. Throughout Matthew, Jesus's teaching in words and actions centers on the Kingdom of Heaven. His parables offer multiple perspectives on what this kingdom is, each new story expanding on what we thought we knew from the ones before it. In a sequence of three brief parables in Matthew 13:44-50, Jesus provokes us with the immeasurable and life-upsetting value of the Kingdom of Heaven, a realm beyond our imagination but right here now, interrupting our lives and dragging us into itself.

For the past two years, the congregations of Landrum Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church-Woodruff have studied the Old Testament, reading each book month by month. These dedicated participants come every week, week in and week out, to think, study, and pray together about who God is and who we are. No question is off-limits; sharp thinking and mutual respect abound.

These two study groups are now entering the New Testament. As a part of our evolving work together, we will offer a brief recorded synopsis of each week's readings online. We will conclude our study next Easter with the book of Revelation.
Read with us this year. Everyone is welcome at our weekly gatherings, and we will share each week these online synopses. All are welcome. All.
