Is There Life After Acts? For Luke
December 6, 2021 • Gary Olsen, Chris Reighley • 2 Timothy 4:6–13; Titus 1:4–5
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?!
Acts may end in Rome, but Luke’s partnership with Paul continues. This session tracks their post-Acts ministry: revisiting churches, dropping Titus in Crete, and facing arrest in Nero’s Grand Tour. Luke serves again as Paul’s medical assistant, scribe, and loyal companion—possibly even co-authoring Hebrews. The years between Acts and martyrdom are full of faithful, unsung gospel work.
- The post-Acts missionary journey with Paul
- Luke’s scribal role for 1 Timothy, Titus, and possibly Hebrews
- Revisiting the Aegean churches
- Final days before Paul’s imprisonment and execution
