Is There Life After Acts? For Luke
December 4, 2021 • Gary Olsen, Chris Reighley • Acts 16:10; Acts 21:17–36; Acts 27
An Online Study for the Sunday Night Bible Study at Rolling Hills Community Church in Lago Vista, Texas
Teachers: Gary Olsen & Chris Reighley
What happened after Acts; at the end of the book, we leave Luke in Rome with Paul, but what happens next?! What about the author Luke? And how about Peter … he dropped out of the picture at the halfway mark, not to be heard from again … What gives?!
Luke’s presence in Acts becomes unmistakable as the “we” sections begin in Troas. This session covers Luke’s initiation into Paul’s mission team and details the harrowing and holy adventures they share: missionary stops, vows at Jerusalem, arrests, and a shipwreck on the way to Rome. Luke emerges as a trusted companion, eyewitness historian, and quiet encourager.
- The “we” sections and Luke’s firsthand authorship
