Mother's Day
Jeff Geyer
Luke 7:11-17

Scripture:
We'll jump into Luke's written biography of Jesus' ministry. Remember Luke wrote most of our New Testament and wasn't even a follower of Jesus until after the Resurrection. Luke is writing based on the information from interviewing eyewitnesses.
There are three takeaways that we can pull from this story.
