DVD-Luke Video Study (Beautiful Word Bible Studies)
: Gut-Level Compassion

This in-depth Bible study featuring beloved Bible teacher Lisa Harper walks small groups and individuals through the structure, background, and insights of the gospel of Luke. Lisa says, "What I’m drawn to most in Luke's account of the gospel is its humanity, the consistent theme that the Living Hope of Jesus Christ is for everyone—Jews and Greeks, men and women, rich and poor. There's no one who exists beyond the compassionate reach of our Messiah." Luke's... Show More gospel account is a literary masterpiece, but it doesn't celebrate the elite. Instead, it's like the biblical version of Shakespeare whose main characters are paperback kind of people like lepers, prostitutes, and tax collectors who were absolutely stunned by the compassion Jesus extended toward them despite their cultural status as outcasts. This book proves that the pretense of perfection is overrated and certainly isn't a prerequisite for a relationship with God. All twenty-four chapters present real people in real need of a real Savior. And while not everyone will be saved, Luke reminds us that anyone can be saved! In this eight-session video Bible study, Bible teacher Lisa Harper exposes the utter humanity and compassion of Jesus shared by Luke, defined consistently and overtly in the original Greek, splagnitzomai, otherwise known as "gut-level compassion." Dive deep into the well of perhaps the most common-man exposition of what a gift Jesus is in this new Beautiful Word Series study.
