Hear the sermon now, "When I Saw This I Thought of You" - Fr. Christopher Caudle

Fr. Christopher welcomes attendees to the church and acknowledges Nancy's return after her accident, emphasizing the importance of community support. He introduces a summer sermon series focusing on unique elements of Luke's gospel. The intention behind Luke's writing is discussed, highlighting his efforts to convey the good news to Theophilus and others who may not have direct access to the apostles.

• Luke's Unique Perspective: Luke, a Gentile follower of Jesus, aims to share the gospel with those unable to hear the apostles directly.
  
  
• Theophilus's Identity: Theophilus, whose name means "lover of God," represents a broader audience, possibly indicating that Luke's message is for all who love God.

• Writing Process: Luke's meticulous writing involved gathering eyewitness accounts and creating an orderly narrative to strengthen his readers' faith.
  
  
• Key Stories Unique to Luke: The gospel includes parables and stories not found in other gospels, such as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, emphasizing Jesus' interactions with diverse individuals.
  
  
• Luke's Intentions: Luke's gospel aims not only to remind Theophilus of teachings but also to instill confidence in his faith and encourage him to share the good news with others.
  
  
• Community Impact: Fr. Christopher encourages the congregation to engage with Luke's gospel throughout the summer, exploring its teachings and their implications for their lives.
  
  
• God's Personal Connection: The sermon emphasizes that when God looks at the world, He sees each individual, reinforcing the personal nature of the gospel message.
  
  
• Invitation to Explore Faith: Attendees can read and reflect on Luke's gospel, discovering new insights and deepening their understanding of Jesus' message.
