The Life of Jesus: Luke 9:10-20
During this semester, we are going to be walking through Luke's gospel to gain a better understanding of Jesus, who he is and what he has done. In the app, under House Church, there is a tab labeled Luke resources that has additional resources for Luke and we will continue to add as time goes on.
** This gospel is written by Luke. Luke was an associate of the Apostle Paul who was likely a medical doctor, possibly from Antioch of Syria, who is not Jewish. Luke is distinct in that it is the longest gospel and that it has a sequel, Acts. Luke introduces Jesus and his ministry as well as how his ministry relates to the early church. His gospel highlights the activity of a powerful and faithful God through Jesus, the promised savior.

Take a moment to get your bearings; look at the surrounding stories by reading the subtitles around this week’s passage. Don’t be afraid to ask for clarification or definitions for new words and ideas. Listening to other translations of the Bible can both clarify and enrich the meanings of these readings.
