Lamar Avenue Church of Christ Prayer Requests: Weekly Update

Randy started a new sermon series this morning on the book of Acts. "Acts: An Introduction"... You Will Be My Witnesses. The text of the lesson was taken from Acts 1:8.

Implications for Luke: (The prologue to Luke's gospel is found in Luke 1:1-4)

Luke wrote as a historian
Luke wrote as a theologian.
Luke wrote as an apologist. (Defending his case.)
Luke wrote as an evangelist.

Insinuations for Us:

Since Luke/Acts is history, we must share it.

Since Luke/Acts is theology, we must study it.

Since Luke/Acts is an apology, we must support it.

Since Luke/Acts is gospel, we must shout it.

❤❤❤❤
