"Do you feel as though God favors you? That He is on your side? That He is always with you?"

These are the questions Robert Blair asks in the 13 sermons in Luke Alive Volume 2. They cut straight to the Christian heart. They address our greatest fear: that we might not be good enough for God. That we might not enjoy his favor.

Blair does not stop short at dismissing our fears with a casual overview of grace. He addresses where they come from, a natural drive to earn favor, to work toward something we can never fully attain ourselves. The Gospel of Luke shows us what we can "earn" with our actions and what we can't.

In the sinful woman who cries at Jesus' feet and cleans them, we see the image of genuine gratitude for forgiveness. In the healing of the crippled woman, we discern that it's always time to do good for other people.
