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.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 17. This chapter draws our attention to two core themes — faith and gratitude. Jesus teaches a parable on the duty of a disciple and those same duties show up in the healing of the 10 lepers. These themes are corner stones of God’s kingdom, but many of the leading Jews in Jesus’ day are missing it. In fact, more foreigners than members of God’s chosen people are in touch with what God is up to. If we aren’t careful, this same predicament can be present in our lives on the eve of the second coming of Jesus. Therefore, pay attention to yourselves!

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 16. This chapter includes two parables and a rebuke of the Pharisees. Jesus uses negative examples in his parables to contrast how disciples should invest in God’s Kingdom and the dangers of living as a Pharisee. The negative examples in His parables remind us that we can learn many things from trials and tribulations. We don’t need perfect circumstances to grow, we need proper focus on God’s Kingdom.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 15. This chapter covers the Pharisee critique that Jesus is receiving sinner and eating with them. The theme of meals has surfaced multiple times in Luke. It speaks to the primary vehicle Jesus used for spreading the Kingdom, and informs how we should view evangelism today. To answer the Pharisee’s criticism Jesus teaches three parables to expose the hearts of the Jewish leaders and address issues we continue to struggle with today.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Luke 14. This message continues the theme of examining our focus. The setting for this chapter is a sabbath dinner. The guests should be focused on God and His faithfulness over the years, but they are more concerned with positions, titles, and receiving honor. This maneuvering for status means the ones who are hurting and broken get overlooked. Christ performs one miracle and teaches three parables that address the “me” centered culture of the 1st century and the world we live in today.
