Publisher's Synopsis
Do you ever feel hopeless in a world filled with pain and injustice?
Join other believers in study of Christ's final teachings, and reclaim your hope and optimism for the future.
On the road to Jerusalem for the last time before his crucifixion, Jesus used every precious second he had left to prepare his disciples for his absence. Whether by miracle, object lesson, or parable, Jesus focused on one thing: faith. In contrast to the watered down version of faith we see in mass media throughout Western culture, Jesus taught that faith can move mountains.
In this eleven-week Bible study, Sweet and Gilmore offer a companion to their acclaimed book The Last Lessons of Christ: Living by Faith in an Age of Despair (ISBN 978-0-578-44494-9, sold separately).This discussion guide will take you deeper into the content and provide additional Scripture passages and thought-provoking questions to help you apply the lessons to your life.
