Sermon Notes

Luke 1:1-4

The Gospel of Luke tells the greatest story ever told: the true story of Jesus Christ, His life, death, resurrection, and mission to seek and save the lost. Luke’s careful research, faithfulness, humility, and emphasis on the Holy Spirit, prayer, and Jesus’ compassion show us how our own lives should be centered on Christ and His mission.

Practical Takeaways

  • Make much of Jesus, not yourself. Like Luke, live with humility and seek to bring attention and glory to Christ rather than building your own platform or reputation.
  • Be a faithful friend.
    Stay committed to the people God has placed around you – even through hardship, disappointment, and difficult seasons. Luke remained faithfully beside Paul through persecution and suffering.
  • Depend on the Holy Spirit and prayer.
    Luke emphasizes how central prayer and the Holy Spirit were to Jesus’ life; we should likewise make prayer and dependence on the Spirit a daily priority
