Part 27 : Bible Study 2 Kings 4, 1 - 7 "Allies".

Rev. Angela Trejo Haager of the Mexican Lutheran Church (ILM) offers the first Bible study of the Women and Gender Justice Network based on an analysis of an emergency situation of food and political crisis. It analyses the lending system in order to affirm solidarity solutions to the crisis. The key theme of being allies is based on God's loving and supportive action.

Part 26: Bible study 20, 1-16 "Friend, I am not doing you any injustice".

Rev. Ofelia Davila Llimpe of the Lutheran Church of Peru (IL-P) analyses the parable of the vineyard workers, which offers an illustration of a different principle about the kingdom of heaven where some of the vineyard workers disagree with the payment received and it is to them that the main character the owner of the vineyard responds by arguing that he has made a fair payment, because that was the initial deal between the two. Thus, it shows that the kingdom of heaven has been taking place for a long time and is still taking place now, where God shows his goodness.
