Perhaps the greatest storyteller the world has ever known -- Luke, the Gospel writer!  Pastor Rob reflects on what makes Luke so unique (his emphasis on women!) and also compelling.

We continue reading the bible, one book, each week.  This week we work through the Gospel of Luke.  Seven chapters to read:

Chapter 1 (Jesus birth); Chapter 4 (Temptation and first sermon); Chapter 5 (Call of Simon); Chapter 6 (start at vs 17, sermon on the plain); Chapter 10 (Good Samaritan and other good stuff!); Chapter 15 (the 'lost' parables); Chapter 24 (Resurrection)

Questions for discussion

1)  What is your favorite story in Luke's Gospel?

2)  Do you know a person named Mary, Lydia, Anna, Joanna or Elizabeth who are faithful?  

3)  Do you think that our church emphasizes women in Scripture enough?

4)  What stories (likely from childhood) informed your moral and spiritual imagination?

5)  Pastor Rob argues that for Luke, the Gospel of Jesus changes lives.  Have you seen people changed by Jesus?  Have you seen people NOT changed by Jesus?  How has the Gospel changed you?

6)  Pastor Rob argues that Luke is actually okay with the rich, he just wants them to be generous.  Is he letting them off the hook too easily?
