Luke's faith in Jesus happened through people

Luke authored the Gospel of Luke and the Acts. He was Paul's friend, well-educated, yet was not an apostle. His writings were well researched and we see a few themes and people he writes about. Themes of prayer and praise, when the Holy Spirit comes God's people immediately praise Him and His great works. Generosity and greed; selfishness brings spiritual downfall, but joyful sacrifice grows the church. About women, God's sovereignty and the church growth by His Word and Spirit.
