Can you picture Luke sitting at his table, strewn with notes and scrolls, interviewing those who had walked with Jesus?
\nThen he picks up his stylus and begins to write what we call \u201cLuke” and \u201cActs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Why is he writing? \u201cSo that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.\u201d (Luke 1:4)<\/p>\n

The Gospel of Luke is a fascinating account of Jesus and those who witnessed his life. We are going to shine a spotlight on the meaning of “witness.” We will be strengthened as followers and as witnesses as we learn from these fascinating stories.<\/p>\n

There are Study Notes which you can use (or use in your Connect group). There will be paper-copies in the church foyer or you can download a PDF copy from HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Videos will appear HERE<\/a> after each service.<\/p>\n
