Leading New Testament scholar Darrell Bock gives a rapid fire exploration of Luke and Acts. 
Bock, who is Senior Research Professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, outlines what first drew him to Luke and answers questions including:
Is Luke writing before or after Matthew and Mark?
What kind of historian is Luke?
How do you explain the difference between Luke’s genealogy and Matthew’s genealogy?
How do we reconcile the birth narratives in Luke and Matthew? 
What is Luke’s theology of atonement? 
What is the kingdom of God in Luke?
How does Luke use the Old Testament in ways that are different to the other Gospel writers?”
Why is the Sermon on the Plain from Luke 6 different to the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 to 7?”
Plus Luke’s distinctive emphasis on the world wide expansion of the gospel, the kingdom of God, the Holy Spirit, care for the poor and the creation of one new family from Jews and Gentiles.

Do our sermons actually land in the lives of the people in front of us?
Do they help anxious believers, tired parents, proud leaders, compromised Christians or sceptical guests to hear, trust and obey the living Word of God?
Richard Coekin says application is part of faithful preaching itself. 
But application has dangers, it might come not really from the text, or could be overly directive. Or we could give accurate lectures that fail to shepherd the church.
Richard Coekin leads Reach UK.  Richard has just written ‘Apply the Word: A Practical Guide to Preaching with Application.’
