(12 sessions) Luke's carefully written Gospel, compiled from both oral and written accounts, points to God's gracious salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ. The peace that Christ has brought to the world enables us to break out in a liturgy of praise. The salvation story did not end with Christ's ascension, however; Christ's Church is called to go to "all nations"-men, women, children, the poor, the sick, and the disenfranchised-proclaiming the victory found only in Jesus Christ. Luke speaks to us about

God's plan for bringing salvation to both Jew and Gentile;
believers' unceasing joy upon hearing the Good News;
the work of the Holy Spirit in Jesus' life and in our own;
the enduring value and importance of prayer.
