Synopsis:

The Gift of New Creation, originally released in 2015, invites us to explore God's saving and redeeming love through a study of the lectionary Bible readings for Lent and Easter. Key Scriptures call us to prepare and contemplate God's restoration and new creation through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Through the readings, we hear the invitation to embrace God's salvation and the new life offered to us through Christ. The season of Lent offers opportunities to reflect on God's redemptive action and to explore means of grace that help us move into new life in Christ. Transformation is a key focus of Lenten worship, study, and prayer. We will discover the salvation and renewal of creation revealed through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

The Gift of New Creation is based on the Revised Common Lectionary scripture for church year C, the third of a three-year cycle of Bible readings. 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.
