Luke 18:1-8 | Austin Briggs by The Hallows Church

Luke 17:11-19 | Wes Walls, Guest Preacher by The Hallows Church

Luke 17:1-10 covers some of the most challenging and yet grace-filled passages of Luke as it addresses the supernatural work of forgiveness.

Join Hallows member, Scott, in studying Luke 16:19-31–a passage dealing with topics of riches, poverty, hell and how Jesus approaches each of us as seen in this passage.

Join us for a study of Luke 16:16-18, particularly focusing on the last verse. As we explore Luke 16:18, we will consider what does Jesus and the Bible say about divorce. Let's consider the context of the question, the context of redemptive history and ultimately the heart and possible application for this passage on divorce.

Study Luke 15 with us to grow in appreciation for God's pursuit of His people, love for the lost, and our need whether we identify more with the rebellious lawless son or the hard-hearted legalistic son of the parable's generous father.

Luke 14:25-35- explore this seemingly hard-to-swallow passage, and consider why would Jesus say such harsh things just as crowds were beginning to flock to him.

"Now great crowds were traveling with him. So he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, and even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28 “For which of you, wanting to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, after he has laid the foundation and cannot finish it, all the onlookers will begin to ridicule him, 30 saying, ‘This man started to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or what king, going to war against another king, will not first sit down and decide if he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 If not, while the other is still far off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce[a] all his possessions cannot be my disciple.

34 “Now, salt is good, but if salt should lose its taste, how will it be made salty? 35 It isn’t fit for the soil or for the manure pile; they throw it out. Let anyone who has ears to hear listen.”

Philippians 4:4-9 addresses the wisdom of rejoicing while taking into account the hardships, mental illnesses and brokenness we face in this life.

Study Philippians 3:15-4:3 with us to consider what it means to be a citizen of Heaven in there here now.

Study Philippians 3:1-14 in which we are reminded to be wary of a common trap and to press on towards Christ. All too often, in the pursuit to follow Jesus we can lose sight of why we needed Him in the first place. When we first become Christians we accept Jesus’ amazing Grace, but as we go through the hardships of life, our spiritual journey becomes encapsulated with self-righteousness and pride. In Philippians 3:1-14, Paul warns the church against falling into this trap. We need to forget the old ways in which we used to define our self worth and press forward in glorifying Jesus by accepting His grace.
