Luke 1:1–4 (ESV) Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

It begins with Jesus

The Promise John 14:16–18 (ESV) And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Implications & Applications: Jerusalem – Who are the people near me every day? Judea – How do I reach the people around me? Samaria – How can I bring the gospel to those who are different than me? Ends of the Earth – What is my role in reaching people who’ve never heard the name of Jesus?

Implications & Applications: Personal – How can you share the gospel with people near you? Local – How can we take the gospel to our neighbors and neighborhoods? Urban – How can we see the gospel transform areas of our city with the greatest need? Global – How can unreached people be reached with the gospel?
