In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 22:39-71. This chapter covers the events following the Passover meal, leading to the midnight arrest and trial of Jesus. The tribulations of the evening begin in the garden where Jesus tells His disciples to pray against temptation. The Lord’s instructions invite the disciples to consider the spiritual war in their midst and how to endure through prayer. The trials of that evening mirror many trials for disciples today, but the exhortation from Luke is the same — pray!

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 22:1-38. This chapter covers the final Passover meal Jesus celebrates with His disciples. The meal is filled with symbolic imagery of the exodus and Jesus reinterprets that imagery for a new covenant. The new covenant is marked with the bread and wine of communion. The moment takes place over a meal and helps the disciples focus on the work of God, the strengthening of God’s people, and preparation for the upcoming tribulations.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 21. This chapter begins with a picture of religious excess and ends with a warning against worldly excess. The middle section is a lengthy teaching on the destruction of the temple and the return of Jesus. The sermon on Christ’s second advent is bracketed with a warning against religious hypocrisy and a warning against worldly indulgence. The focus of this chapter is to prepare God’s people for the arrival of Jesus with a deep examination of our hearts.

In this message, Pastor Lyell teaches from Luke chapter 20. This chapter covers the final time Jesus confronted the religious leaders of his day before his arrest and crucifixion. Each section of Luke 20 allows us to see how Jesus dealt with religious hypocrisy in his day and how our lives line up to Jesus. We also see Jesus’ warning about becoming like these religious leaders.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 19. This chapter includes the salvation of Zacchaeus and the events of Palm Sunday. Each story and parable reveals a king that approaches His people to inspect their faithfulness. The king rewards the faithful and brings consequences to the unfaithful. This entire chapter speaks to the responsibility Christians have to serve as faithful stewards and use the gifts God has given us to build His kingdom.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 18. This chapter continues our study in what a disciple looks like. Jesus builds on the themes of faith and gratitude, with persistence, humility, and surrender. These themes are difficult for the apostles to grasp, in a way they are blind to them. Luke answers this inability to see with a final story of the blind beggar. The beggar cries out to God, modeling the very themes the apostles struggle to see.
