Matthew 26:36-46, Hebrews 5:7

What can we learn from Jesus’s prayer in Gethsemane? How does this passage teach us through the purpose and posture of Jesus during this prayer? What does it really mean to be delivered from evil? How did God answer this prayer?

A Case Against Israel (Micah 6)

The Evidence, Witnesses, and Settlement.

Micah 6:1-16

What were the offenses Micah recorded against the people of Israel? Do we still see these same evils in the world today? Micah calls on Israel as a witness of God’s faithfulness. In verse 8 Micah calls on the people of Israel to turn from their own ways and to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. What does biblical justice look like in the world today? How can we share the loyal, steadfast love of God through mercy? Why did God want to have a relationship with Israel even after all they did against Him?

Join Pastor Luke Hollis and the Baptist Church of Hadley as we investigate the case against sin and the faithfulness of a loving and merciful God that endures even through today.

Christ, The Compassionate Shepherd

Selfless. Compassionate. Obedient.

Mark 6:30-44, Romans 12:1-2, Proverbs 23:7

What can we learn from Jesus’s example of rest in the Bible? How did Jesus respond when that time of rest was interrupted? What does compassion really mean? How can I grow in compassion for others and their needs? What can we learn from Christ’s submission to God’s will?

Join Pastor Luke Hollis and the Baptist Church of Hadley as we look at Christ’s example of compassion and how we can grow in that compassion in our own lives.

The Nature of the Deliverer (Micah 5)

8 Characteristics of Christ

Micah 5:1-15

How does Micah 5 show us the need for a deliverer? Why does it matter that Jesus was born in Bethlehem? Why has there been such a long delay between Creation, Christ, and the coming Rapture? How does this passage show us the care, peace, victory, supremacy, safety, and holiness of the deliverer?

Join Pastor Luke Hollis and the Baptist Church of Hadley as we learn about Jesus through the fifth chapter of Micah.

The Cost of Going

A Drama in 5 Acts

Mark 6:14-29

Scripture proclaims that there is a cost to following Jesus. How did a guilty conscience influence the events in Mark 6? How was John the Baptist unjustly persecuted? Why was he persecuted? How did proclaiming the truth of God’s Word create enemies in this passage? At the end of this passage it doesn’t seem like God has the victory, but what does the bigger picture of the Bible allow us to see about this event?

Join Pastor Luke Hollis and the Baptist Church of Hadley as we recommit to the call to go, proclaim, fight, and minister while we reflect on the costs of spreading the gospel.

The Lord’s Prayer (Part 4)

Deliverance & Glorification

Matthew 6:9-13

What does it mean to ask for deliverance from evil? How does the term temptation in the original texts stretch beyond our English definition of temptation? How does this apply to our lives and prayers today? Why do different translations of the English Bible show this part of the passage (verse 13) differently? What is our ultimate motivation as Christians in prayer and in life?

Join Pastor Luke Hollie and the Baptist Church of Hadley while we continue to meditate on this passage from Matthew and how Christ set a timeless example for how we should pray.

On Mission

Go. Proclaim. Fight. Minister.

You have a mission from God.

Mark 6:7-13

Why did Jesus tell His disciples not to pack a bag, bread, money, or even an extra cloak for shelter when they were sent out? What does this teach us about how we should go out to the nations today? What are we fighting against as we work to bring the gospel to the world? Is the call to minister to people the same as “lifestyle evangelism”? What role does ministering to people play in the spread of the gospel today?

Join Pastor Luke and the Baptist Church of Hadley as we explore the urgent call to believers in the past and present to go into the world and spread the gospel.

The Men for the Mission

A story of delegation, power, and a global gospel.

Mark 3:7-19

How did Jesus utilize the body of believers He called disciples? What does it mean that Jesus brings a global gospel? How can there be unity in the body of Christ when the members are so diverse? Is it okay to disagree on different issues? Why did God appoint fallible humans to carry out the gospel on Earth? What are the roles of pastor and church member in the ministry and the Great Commision?

Join Pastor Luke and the Baptist Church of Hadley while we look at the example Jesus gave for the spread of the gospel and the delegation of His ministry.
