Jesus is moving in the world in fresh new ways all around the world and I'll tell you

I don't want to miss any of it.

I want to be on the cutting edge of everything Jesus is doing in bringing to a consummation

this age in finishing the great commission and reaching all the unreached peoples in awakening

and quickening his church and the word and in prayer.

And if that's what Jesus is doing then I want to know what kind of people we should be.

So what kind of people are we to be as Christ builds his church?

John Piper provides an answer to that question from Acts 1-1-3 in this episode of Light and

Truth.

This sermon was originally preached at Bethlehem Baptist Church on September 16, 1990.

I am so glad that God puts it into the heart of many doctors to do more than men bodies

and make bucks.

I think I know all the doctors at Bethlehem and I think I can say that all of our doctors

believe that their life is met for more than mending bodies and making bucks.

But I have one favorite doctor that I thank God for more than any other doctor and for

whom I am so thankful that he gave his life to more than mending bodies and making bucks.

And that is Dr. Luke who wrote the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel according to

Luke Paul in Colossians 4 calls him my loved physician.

He was a precious member of the team.

We meet him first in Troas in Acts.

We don't know for sure but in all likelihood he was a Gentile physician and was converted

as Paul passed through Troas on his second missionary journey.
