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.

"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 first of 13 sermons in Luke Alive, Volume 1. 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 Mary, the Mother of Jesus we have an image of what it means to be chosen, to be given the Lord's favor. In Jesus' proclamation of the year of the Lord's favor at Nazareth we see that, favored as we may be, there is a kind of favor we can earn when we seize the opportunity. In the story of Jesus and his disciples picking grain on the Sabbath we learn that we do not earn favor by following rules. That's when it gets really exciting. Luke Alive guides ministers through our deepest of Christian fears and desires, and offers satisfying answers based firmly in scripture. It is a must-have volume for pastors seeking to answer direct questions with plain language, whether from the pulpit or the living room couch. Sermon titles include: One: "The angel's Nazareth mission" (Luke 1:26-38) Two: "Will you enjoy the year of the Lord's favor?" (Luke 4:14-21) Three: "Does Sunday equal the Sabbath?" (Luke 6:1-11) Robert Blair pastored the Church of Christ in Hollywood, California for 28 years. A graduate of Pepperdine University (B.A., M.A.), Blair now resides in Cleghorn, Iowa. His writings have appeared in Leadership and Leadership Handbooks of Practical Theology.

Autorenporträt
Robert Blair grew up in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, but he now calls Dallas, Texas his home. The journey from Sweetwater to Dallas wasn't just about changing locations for Robert. It was a personal voyage from feeling misunderstood and rejected by his family to discovering his true self, embracing it, and turning it into powerful writing. When his family disowned him for coming out as gay, it was a difficult and challenging time in his life. However, instead of giving in to despair, he turned that experience into inner strength and found acceptance among his genuine friends, who continue to support him.Robert's life experiences have not only influenced his writing but also cultivated his wisdom. His best advice is to always stay true to yourself. For 18 long years, he struggled with his identity and harbored self-hatred due to societal pressures regarding his homosexuality. Yet, once he broke free from those constraints and embraced his truth, he discovered a renewed sense of joy in living and a peacefulness that now shines through his literary work. Today, Robert proudly stands as a testament to his belief that being authentic to oneself is the ultimate path to liberation.Even though there were disagreements about Robert being gay, he's grateful for everything his adopted mom, a pre-K teacher, did for him. She played a huge role in his life, guiding him and showing him love during his formative years. Despite their differences, he appreciates the impact she had on his upbringing. Their relationship proves that love and understanding can overcome challenges.
