The Gospel of Luke: “We can all recall Linus getting up on stage and reciting the Christmas story in the peanuts. We might all have the parable of prodigal son memorized. Some of the most famous and most popular episodes from the gospel’s come from the Gospel of Luke. But Luke wasn’t inspired only to write a series of disconnected stories but a full and orderly account to instill certainty in the saving work of God through his son and messiah, Jesus. Luke, who has written one quarter of the New Testament has a grand vision for what God has done through Jesus and that vision is meant to help us see what God continues to do through Jesus our Lord. Come and and join Pastor Alex in a pastor led bible study as we see God’s big Good News picture in the gospel according to Luke on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month at 9am. This new pastor led study will begin on September 11. Make sure to sign up!”
