“Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.” J. Wesley
This week, we look at the writings of Dr. Luke. Who was this guy, and why did he write his gospel and the book of Acts? How does his Gospel differ from the other three? Enjoy our exploration of this vital contributor to the New Testament.
In November 2022, I delivered a sermon on Matthew 7, finishing a series on the Sermon on the Mount. Apologies for the sound issues; it was an old system that has since been upgraded.
We start our look at the Gospels with Mark and Matthew. Mark seems to have been a source document of Matthew and Luke. He has short, action-packed narratives that move Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem. Matthew is a very Jewish Gospel highlighting the themes with which first-century Jews would resonate.
Welcome to the New Testament! While we will start with the Gospels, it is essential to know how the New Testament is arranged and how we got the authorized books - the Canon. HINT - Dan Brown is full of beans and got it completely wrong!
