Luke wrote “so that you may know the exact truth” (1:4). He follows Jesus from Bethlehem through Galilee, sets His face toward Jerusalem (9:51), and walks the long road there — to the cross, the empty tomb and the ascension. Pick any chapter to go deeper.
An orderly account: John and Jesus announced, born and made ready.
Nazareth, the fishermen, the sermon on the plain, and the face set toward Jerusalem.
The Samaritan, the lost sheep, the prodigal, Zacchaeus — the Son of Man seeks the lost.

The Supper, the garden, the trials and the cross.
The empty tomb, the road to Emmaus, and the promise of power.
Narrated walks through each chapter with the verses on screen and the diagrams from the study. The films are coming; each chapter page has a place for its film.

The Bereans “received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). The Berean Dashboard is a free study app built for that kind of reading: let the text speak before you do.
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Each chapter has a Four Voices deep dive, an O·I·A study, slides for leading a group, a five-day journal to write in and a Berean import. Each page has a place for the chapter’s film, coming soon.
God breaks four hundred years of silence by keeping promises nobody could keep for themselves — a son for a barren couple, a Son for a virgin, a Savior for Israel. The only right answer to His word is mine: “may it be done to me according to your word.”
“For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37
The Son of David is born in David’s town because a pagan emperor wanted taxes, laid in a feeding trough, and announced first to shepherds. He keeps the Law from His first week, is welcomed by two old saints who were waiting, and grows up in quiet obedience — the Savior who came low enough for me to reach.
“for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11
God’s word comes to a wilderness prophet who calls ordinary men to a repentance that shows up in their wallets and their tempers, and who points away from himself to the mightier One. At the Jordan the Father names Jesus His beloved Son, and Luke traces Him back through David and Abraham to Adam — a Savior for every son of Adam.
“and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.” Luke 3:22
Full of the Spirit, Jesus beats the devil where Adam and Israel fell, using nothing but the written Word. Then He announces that Isaiah’s year of release has come in Him, is rejected by His own town, and proves His authority over demons and disease — and still moves on, because He must preach the kingdom.
“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,” Luke 4:18
Jesus goes looking for exactly the people who think they are too far gone — a sinful fisherman, a leper, a paralyzed man, a tax collector — and calls, cleanses and forgives them by His word. He did not come to patch up religious people; He came to make sinners new.
“I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and Lord of my life, and He calls His disciples to a kingdom that turns the world’s values upside down. The heart of it is mercy — love for enemies like the Father’s kindness to me — and the test of it is whether I actually do what He says.
“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:36
Jesus speaks, and sickness leaves at a distance, death gives back a son, a doubting prophet gets his answer, and a sinful woman goes home forgiven. The only people who miss Him are the ones who think they owe Him little.
“For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.” Luke 7:47
The seed is the word of God, and everything depends on how I hear it. The same word that grows in good soil stills storms, frees the tormented, heals the outcast and raises the dead — so I can take Jesus at His word even when every other voice says it is too late.
“So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.” Luke 8:18
Everyone in Luke 9 is asking who Jesus is, and Peter gets the answer right: the Christ of God. Then Jesus shows what that means — a Messiah who must suffer, a glory that shines before the cross, and followers who carry their own cross every day without looking back.
“If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” Luke 9:23
Jesus sends ordinary followers into a big harvest and tells them to rejoice most that their names are written in heaven. Then He shows what a neighbor does on a dangerous road and what matters most in a busy house: love that stops for the wounded, and a heart that sits at His feet first.
“but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42
Jesus teaches me to pray to a Father who gives — bread, forgiveness, protection and above all His Spirit — and to keep asking. Then He shows that He is stronger than the devil, greater than every sign, and unwilling to let religion stay on the outside of a man.
“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Luke 11:9
Jesus tells His friends whom to fear, what to own, what not to worry about, and how to wait. The Father who numbers my hairs gladly gives me the kingdom, so I can let go of barns, keep my lamp lit, and settle with God now while I am still on the way.
“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32
Jesus takes the news of the day and turns it into a call to me: repent, bear fruit, and enter while the door is open. And the One who warns is the same One who straightens the bent, pleads for one more year, and longs to gather sinners under His wings.
“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.” Luke 13:24
At a Pharisee’s table Jesus shows that God’s kingdom turns our seating charts upside down: the proud go down, the humble go up, and the poor fill the banquet the respectable refused. Then He tells me plainly that following Him costs everything — and that refusing Him costs more.
“Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:27
God goes looking for lost people and throws a party when He finds them. The only person in this chapter who misses the feast is the one who thought he never needed to be found.
“So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” Luke 15:20
Everything I have belongs to God, and I am only managing it for a while. How I handle money shows which master I serve — and the rich man’s story tells me how long the consequences last.
“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” Luke 16:13
On the road to Jerusalem Jesus teaches His men to live as forgiven people — forgiving without limit, serving without boasting, and coming back to thank Him. Then He tells them the kingdom is already standing in front of them, and that the Day He is revealed will come as suddenly as the flood, so they must not look back.
“And He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:19
The kingdom of God is not earned by the respectable; it is received by the needy — the widow who keeps asking, the sinner who begs for mercy, the child who is carried, the beggar who will not be quiet. What is impossible with people is possible with God, because the Son of Man is going up to Jerusalem to be handed over, killed and raised.
“But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’” Luke 18:13
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, and on His last road He proves it — in a sycamore tree, in a parable about a King who will return, on a colt, and in tears over a city that missed its day. He is the King who comes humbly now and will come again to reign, and He wants me found faithful when He does.
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10
In the temple, Jesus’ enemies try every trap they have, and He answers them all from Scripture and turns each question back on the questioner. The rejected Son is the cornerstone, the living God raises the dead, and David’s son is David’s Lord — so I must give God what bears His image: me.
“But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written: ‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone’?” Luke 20:17
Jesus sees a widow give everything, then tells His disciples the truth about what is coming — a temple torn down, a city trampled, an age of the Gentiles, and His own return in power. None of it is meant to make me afraid; it is meant to make me faithful, awake and looking up.
“But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21:28
On the night He was betrayed, Jesus gave His body and blood for men who would sell Him, argue over rank, fall asleep and deny Him. He prayed for the one who would fail, submitted to the Father’s cup, and confessed before His judges that He would sit at God’s right hand — and He prays for me the same way.
“And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” Luke 22:19
Every judge in the chapter finds Jesus innocent, and He is crucified anyway — in the place of a murderer, between two criminals, praying for the men who nailed Him there. The Innocent One died for the guilty, and the first man to go with Him into Paradise was a thief who simply asked to be remembered.
“But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.” Luke 23:34
Jesus is not among the dead — He is risen in a real body, and He spends the first Easter walking with discouraged men, opening the Scriptures until their hearts burn, and showing them that the cross was always the plan. Then He sends them, clothed with power, to tell the nations, and the last thing they see is His hands raised in blessing.
“Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” Luke 24:26
