Parish Bible Study

Posted : Oct-10-2025

You are warmly invited to join a transformative 28-week Bible study from Ascension Press, exploring The Gospel according to Luke and The Acts of the Apostles, two inspired volumes of a single, unified narrative revealing God’s plan of salvation fulfilled in Christ and extended through His Church.

Guided by Jeff Cavins, Sarah Christmyer, and Dr. Jeffrey Morrow, this in-depth study unfolds in two parts:

🔹 Luke: The Story of Salvation Fulfilled (8 Sessions)

In Luke’s Gospel, we encounter the mystery of the Incarnation, the mercy and justice of Christ, and the uniquely Catholic dimensions of the Gospel narrative:

  • Parables found only in Luke, such as the Good Samaritan, Prodigal Son, and Rich Man and Lazarus revealing the heart of the Divine Mercy.
  • Gabriel’s Annunciation to Mary, Jesus’ boyhood experience in the Temple, and the details of his Ascension into glory.
  • Mary’s Magnificat, Zechariah’s Benedictus, Simeon’s Nunc Dimittis, and the Gloria sung by the angels on Christmas night.
  • The fulfillment of Old Testament hopes in Christ, the New David and New Adam.

🔹 The Acts of the Apostles: The Spread of the Kingdom (20 Sessions)

·       Continuing the story, the Acts of the Apostles reveals the birth of the Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

·       From Pentecost to the missionary journeys of Sts. Peter and Paul, the Acts of the Apostles traces the Gospel's advance to the ends of the earth, overcoming persecution, internal conflict, and cultural barriers through the risen Christ.

·       Far from being distant history, Luke–Acts offers a living Word for the Church today, revealing how salvation history continues in and through us.
