Today we conclude our series and also conclude the study of Luke which began on November 30, 2014. In this study, we see Jesus ascending into heaven and the disciples preparing for the Holy Spirit and the new “church.” We will also take some time to review the things that we’ve learned in the Gospel of Luke.

Today we watch the Emmaus friends rush back to Jerusalem to tell their story, but they are too late. In this passage, Jesus shows His scars to the Apostles and confirms His resurrection.  And we finally see the disciples “get it.”

Today we see the resurrected Jesus take a walk with some of His followers.  Even though they are kept from identifying Him immediately, they are taught by Him and it all begins to make sense.  This account is a rare glimpse into the way that Jesus revealed Himself following the resurrection, and it is the beginning of belief.

Today we continue our series on Beginnings, by looking at the Beginning of Life. The resurrection of Jesus was a victory for Him, but it was also a great victory for all of us who follow Him. Because He lives, we too shall live — even after death!

Today we begin the last series of our study of the Gospel of Luke.  In this six-weeks series, we see that the END is really the BEGINNING. We will learn that unlike other biographies where death is the end, in this story, it is just the beginning of many things that we still enjoy and celebrate today.  In this study, we see the beginning of HOPE.

Today we conclude our series on THE BEGINNING OF THE END by looking at the last moment of Jesus’ freedom.  We see that although no one can show Him to be guilty of any crime, He is condemned because of hatred. And we realize that the end of Jesus’ freedom is the beginning of ours!

Today we come near the end of the life of Jesus and of our series. In this study, we see the beginning of the false charges and the mock trials that Jesus endured. And we see that He didn’t budge as to Who He was and what He came to do!

We continue our series by watching the soldiers arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and walk Him to Caiaphas’ house. Throughout the chaos, Jesus was under control... and in control. Peter, on the other hand, was controlled by fear. From the interactions between Jesus and Peter, we learn the good news that faith brings an end to fear.
