  Welcome friends! Church is starting! Today we will be
reading Luke Chapter 13:18 and Luke 14-15. Then we will be
discussing the beloved Serenity Prayer used world wide by those in
recovery. The Gospel According to Luke (Greek: Τ? κατ? Λουκ?ν
ε?αγγ?λιον, to kata Loukan euangelion), commonly shortened to the
Gospel of Luke or simply Luke, is the third and longest of the four
Gospels. This synoptic gospel is an account of the life and
ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. It details his story from the events
of his birth to his Ascension. According to the preface, the
purpose of Luke is to write a historical account, while bringing
out the theological significance of the history. The writer divides
history into three stages: The first ends with John the Baptist,
the second consists of Jesus' earthly ministry, and the third is
the life of the church after Jesus' resurrection. The author
attests that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. This is consistent
with all the authors of the New Testament writings. Here, Jesus'
compassion extends to all mankind. The Gospel of Luke is written as
a historical narrative. Certain popular stories, such as the
Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan, are found only in this gospel.
This account also has a special emphasis on prayer, the activity of
the Holy Spirit, women, and joyfulness. Jesus is presented as the
Son of God, but attention especially paid to the humanity of Jesus,
featuring his compassion for the weak, the suffering and the
outcast.
