“The Gospel of Grace” by Pastor Bill Foote is a twenty-part study through Scripture bringing us to rememberance of what has been accomplished for our salvation in Christ Jesus, our Redeemer.
The Women’s Resources page has added Margaret Ashmore’s audio study on “The Abundant Life,” which instills Biblical clarity to some popular misconceptions; and Cathy Dickinson’s audio message, “What Must Be Forgotten,” sharpens our focus on running the race with endurance.

The Blue Letter Bible website is testing a whole new look! We are undergoing some exciting renovations and are pleased to unveil the BETA release of BLB Version 3 (v3.blb.org). BLB Version 3 will include all of the same great resources, but with a much-improved look and design. Some of the new features you can look forward to are:

Personalized account set-up option for managing study preferences
Improved word and verse retrieval options
Quick and easy-to-find search results with expanded features
Improved main menu navigation
… And much, much more!

Please test this latest edition of the BLB and send us feedback through the BETA feedback button located at the top left of every page. Also note that when the official launch of Version 3 occurs, the current 2.5 version will remain available.

Thank you for your role in helping make this the best BLB edition yet!

Soteriology, our newest BLBi course, studies the doctrine of salvation. It examines the need for man’s deliverance from the power of sin and the victory of being restored into a right relationship with God. Dr. David Hocking points out how this is only possible through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Hocking’s comprehensive survey of the Scriptures brings understanding to terms like redemption, justification, and sanctification. Learn more about God’s amazing gift of salvation by enrolling in this free course of study today.

In conjunction with the JESUS Film Project, the Blue Letter Bible presents the filmed adaptation of the Gospel of Luke. It is from this full‐feature recording that the internationally acclaimed JESUS film (a two‐hour docudrama about the life of Christ) would be edited from.
