This week we will be studying Luke 8:22-25 under the theme “Power Over Storms.” After a period of teaching his disciples, Jesus offers them a period of testing. Jesus’ disciples indeed have faith, but the question is whether or not they will use their faith in life’s most trying times. Similarly, for many Christians, it’s not a matter of not having faith, but a matter of not opportunistically expressing faith to help navigate life’s difficult storms.

The goal of Dr. Luke’s Gospel is to present the universal reach of Jesus’ gift of salvation. As a man of science, Luke was not particularly interested in mere spiritual opinions, feelings, rumors, or legends. Educated and orderly, Luke sifted through the garbage of misinformation and bad ideas to bring substantiated eyewitness verification of the truth—a gracious reality of mercy and justice for all.
