Currently, during our Sunday services we are exploring the Gospel of Luke.
Written around AD 80-90 by Luke, a physician and companion of the Apostle Paul, this Gospel stands out as an "orderly account" so that we may know the certainty of the things we have been taught about Jesus.
As we delve into these chapters together, may we encounter afresh the Jesus who seeks the lost, heals the broken, and calls us to live out His radical love. Let this be a time of renewal, where the words of Luke inspire us to follow Christ more closely in our community and beyond.
Come and explore with us
