Luke’s narrative tells the story of Jesus, the man who is God and His mission in the world. We will
discover a new way to live offered by Jesus, a way that challenges other systems and powers, world-views and
paradigms, a way that totally reorients our existence around the unfolding story of God and His love for this world.
Luke is writing to give us an account about what actually happened he is careful, detailed and intentional as an
expert storyteller. He doesn’t just want you to know what happened in the story of Jesus, he wants you to know
what it means. Luke begins his Gospel not as the beginning to a new story, but as the continuation to a long story
of God and Jesus is revealed in the birth narrative as the fulfillment of Israel and all of the Old Testament promises.
What does it look like to live open to what God is doing at any moment? What is God inviting you into? How might
you say yes to him and what he has for your life? There’s a rule in improv that applies to general living, it’s the
number one rule to a successful improvisation scene- JUST SAY YES. Say yes, go with it, whatever
opportunities, whatever is introduced, just go with it. So much of life with God is about saying yes to what he
presents to you. Saying yes to Jesus will open up doors for new possibilities, even if those new possibilities are
not what was hoped for, or expected.
Jesus calls us to become disciples. We are to follow Jesus with our lives fully- to prefer him over anyone or thing
in our life.
