2. What does Luke tell us his book will be?^[1]

3. In reference to Luke 1:1, Pastor Brett stated that "Luke's content is God's accomplishment." What did he mean by that? What are "...the things accomplished among us" (v.1)?

4. The Gospel According to Luke shows us what God in Christ has accomplished for you and me. What aspect of what God has done for you through his Son are you most grateful for? Why?
