Luke: Knowing for Sure, Volume 1 (Chapters 1-12) (Reformed Expository Bible Studies)

"There are times when our faith falters, when the whole story of salvation suddenly seems quite improbable, if not impossible," writes Philip Graham Ryken. "We still believe in Jesus, but sometimes it is hard to know for sure." Enter Luke's Gospel, with its explicit and vital purpose of helping readers to be certain of the good news of Jesus's death and resurrection.

Designed for groups and individuals, this Reformed Expository Bible Study gives users the resources they need to delve into God's Word and to understand and apply it for themselves, leading to biblical transformation. Background information and commentary lay the groundwork before readers observe and analyze the Scripture text. Each of the thirteen lessons makes connections to the rest of the Bible and to Reformed theology before concluding with personal application and a prayer prompt.
