The end of Luke’s gospel isn’t the end of our Lords story – it continues to this day. At the finale of a long journey through Luke, we’re about to put all the pieces together. Redemptive history has a context, starting in Genesis and still going strong in 2026. But many Christians don’t grasp it…
Sermons on Discipleship
When the church misses the point, the power of God is absent.
