Luke was a Doctor who investigated Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. He tells us why he wrote the book that bears his name:
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses… with this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account… so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. (Luke 1:1-4)
As we work our way through chapters 9-19 of Luke’s book, come and check out the eyewitness evidence about Jesus and make up your mind for yourself – about who he is, what he claimed, and why he matters.
You can listen to the first talks in this series from chapters 1-9 here.
Does God value strength like our world values strength? God saves through weakness so the glory goes to Him, & so the world’s values are torn down.
God saved us to serve his church & gave us gifts to do it with, so gladly serve Jesus & others at Salt Church with your time, energy & money.
We’ve been saved to worship / serve God in all of life, so serve him in our many & different spheres of your life.
Our God serves us to save us from selfishness, so as we serve we’re being truly human & like God.
Thomas is a 'seeing is believing' guy, and when he sees Jesus he believes not only that Jesus is alive but that he is life - the Christ & Son…
Lots of things make Christians & non-Christians feel like it's reasonable to hold God/Jesus at arm’s length. In fact it’s only reasonable to embrace Jesus because He is your King…
In a merit-based-world, what do we have to do to do enough for God? Humbly ask God for mercy & then live an unmerited new life.
We may place our expectations on God but it's important to know he has expectations for us.
