What book makes us more certain of the truths and facts of the Gospel but also challenges us to pursue our own sanctification? The Gospel of Luke! While the narrative material is easy to preach and holds people’s interest, the kingdom of God and repentance are two theological challenges of the book. In this episode of RE:CHURCH, Marshall Fant discusses the book of Luke with Mike Harding, senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Troy in Troy, MI, for almost 40 years. Reflecting on how he nearly died of COVID in 2021, Pastor Harding says, “Preaching in my older years through books like this gives me great confidence that I know the Lord and, more importantly, the Lord knows me because I don’t want to hear, ‘Depart from Me, I never knew you.’”
