No one should want to live a life of uncertainty that is based on myth, falsehoods, half-
truths, or legend with no foundation in fact. Luke didn't, and neither did he want that
for his friends. Luke set out to collect evidence about the life, ministry and meaning of
Jesus Christ so sincere seekers of all ages could build their lives on unquestionable
truth. Come join us as we study the Gospel of Luke together.
