Luke 1: Our New Year’s Resolution

2:52 – Our New
Year’s Resolution
 

Luke writes the most material in the New Testament.

What are the
testaments?

Luke writes so that we can be sure of the truth of Jesus

Many people have set out to write accounts about the events
that have been fulfilled among us. They used the eyewitness
reports circulating among us from the early disciples. Having carefully investigated everything from
the beginning, I also have decided to write a careful account for you, most
honorable Theophilus, so you can be certain of the truth of
everything you were taught. LUKE 1:1-4
NLT

The goal of Sandals Church is that over the next year our entire
church will read the books of Luke-Acts

When people do not
accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful. PROVERBS 29:18 NLT

THE SANDALS CHURCH NEW YEARS RESOLUTION:

That every person would read and study one
chapter of Luke and then Acts a week

That we would faithfully meet as a church family on weekends for
worship and biblical teaching with hearts to serve God.

One day
Zechariah was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that
week. As was the custom of the
priests, he was chosen by lot to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn
incense. While the incense was
being burned, a great crowd stood outside, praying. While Zechariah was in the
sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the
incense altar. Zechariah was shaken and
overwhelmed with fear when he saw him. But the angel said,
“Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. LUKE 1:8-13 NLT

That we would gather in small groups to share what we are
learning welcoming people from all levels of Biblical understanding.  

Challenge

  1. Get a Bible (NLT or ESV recommended)
  2. Read chapter one of Luke this week
  3. Join a group or start one
  4. Attend church every weekend and find a place to serve
