The Gospel of Luke: Investigating the Man Who is God.
There isn’t a better place to start studying the
scriptures than the Gospels and the Gospel of Luke is a
gospel that is packed with good theology, intriguing
narrative, and practical sayings of Jesus that will help us in
our daily lives. The writer Luke took an investigative
approach, inspired by the Holy Spirit, to writing the gospel.
Luke wanted to build the case for his readers that Jesus
wasn’t just a man. Luke wanted his readers to know that
Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the Savior of the World, and
God. I also mixed in some Psalms known as the “Psalms of
Ascent” for some variation. I want to encourage you to ask
God to help you to understand what you are reading each
day and not to just read for knowledge or to accomplish
something each day; but read with the mindset that we are
to be “doers of the Word” (James 1:23). My prayer is that you
will grow in your understanding of who Jesus is and in how
to live holy lives devoted to Him as He is our Lord! If you

Praying that God changes US as we read, our church, and
our community for His glory,
Pastor Brian
