In part one, such topics as gleaning, the community tithe, and the year of release are covered, along with other key passages. We also cover what the Scriptures say regarding some of the causes of poverty, and what the Book of Proverbs says about the poor and the needy, and one’s response to them.
In part two, we consider key passages from the Gospels, the Book of Acts, and the Epistles. What did Jesus Christ teach about the needy in the land? How did he use illustrations of the poor in his teachings? What did Jesus Christ teach his disciples about the poor and needy in the land? From the Book of Acts, we learn about some practices in the first-century Church regarding material goods, and from the Epistles, we learn about God’s desire for the all in the Church to have their material needs met. Along the way, we learn about God’s mercy towards those of His who have genuine need.
