How a story begins shapes everything that follows. In this message, we begin our journey through the *Gospel according to Luke* by looking closely at Luke’s opening words. Why does Luke write the way he does? What kind of story is he telling? And what does his careful, researched introduction reveal about who Jesus is and why His story matters? Luke tells us plainly: he writes so that we might have *certainty* about the things we’ve been taught. This is not myth or hearsay, but an investigated, intentional account of the good news that **Jesus is God’s Saving King**. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have read Luke many times before, this message invites you to investigate, listen, and encounter Jesus afresh as the story unfolds.
