Welcome!
Posted on Friday, October 9th, 2009 at 9:32 pmWelcome to the Joy Luke Club blog! This blog will become active on the week leading up to October 18, 2009, and the launch of Countryside Community Church‘s “Joy Luke Club” Bible Study and simultaneous “The Believer’s Road: A Journey Through Luke” worship series. Check here each week for resources to help YOUR study of Luke’s fascinating gospel and to enhance YOUR encounter with Jesus “as if for the first time”!
This blog is maintained and resourced by Countryside’s Senior Pastor, Rev. Eric Elnes, Ph.D. Guest bloggers also are likely to appear from time to time, along with responses to questions YOU post. So post away! We’ll also be posting a VIDEO COMMENTARY called “Roadside Conversations” by Dr. Elnes and Rev. Bruce Van Blair. Each video chapter is approx 8-12 minutes and is meant to supplement Van Blair’s written commentary on Luke, The Believer’s Road: A Journey Through Luke commentary. For those of you in the Omaha area, copies of Van Blair’s The Believer’s Road commentary are available at Countryside Community Church for a suggested donation of $10. Complete list of Van Blair’s books can be found at his BVBMinistries website.
We’ll be moving through Luke at the rate of 1 chapter per week (In other words, with lightening speed. If you don’t think this sounds fast, just wait until you start reading Luke!), starting with Chapter 3. Don’t worry: we’re not skipping the Christmas (i.e., birth narrative) stuff. We’re just going to take it up closer to Christmas time.
