It was so good to read the gospel of Mark together last month. Phil and Marsha and I kept saying to each other, “What did you think about that story?” or, “What do you think Jesus meant when he said…?” We got text messages and emails from some of you about your experience reading Mark, and we loved reading the same chapter as so many of you each morning!

This month, we’re turning to the book of Luke.

In the first chapter, this book is addressed to “the most honorable Theophilus.” I just learned that that is a Greek name meaning “lover of God.” Because the name is Greek, it implies this is addressed to a Gentile and a new believer - someone who was just learning about Jesus and the way of life he taught his disciples. I really like thinking about that.

Luke Gospel Reading Schedule for May 2020

We hope you’ll join us in reading through another gospel together. We are all longing for connection, and we are all longing for God. This practice of reading our Bibles together is helping us find both.
