Luke, a medical doctor is in a jail in Ephesus in about 56 A.D. caring for the needs of the prisoner, the Apostle Paul, whom Luke frequently accompanied on his preaching tours. In about 70 A.D., Luke, after the martyrdom of his mentor, the Apostle Paul, in Rome, writes Luke-Acts, a two volume work telling the story of Jesus in Luke and his Spirit filled church in Acts.
This is the only book in all of scripture written by a Gentile. His two volume work is longer than all of Paul's letters combined. He writes his Gospel to Theophilus, a Gentile believer, "… so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught." Luke's Gospel contains the apostolic witness to the life of Jesus as Luke had received it from Paul, John Mark, and others.
You might ask "Why read the Gospels?" The answer: Because we seem to know why Jesus died but we do not seem to know why Jesus lives. The Gospels are our primary apprenticing tools for Discipling the church into the living presence of Jesus.
Come join on us in our exploration of the "Greatest Story Ever Told."
