Our study in Luke 19 reads like a single call: Receive the King, reorder your life under His rule, and steward His trust until He comes again. How you respond to Him determines everything! In this teaching Pastor Bill unpacks Zacchaeus showing the right response; the Parable of the Ten Minas teaching faithful stewardship amid mixed allegiance and outright rejection; and the Jesus’ tears over Jerusalem.

In this teaching Pastor Bill explains how Luke 18 strings together scenes that redefine faith. A widow’s persistence says, “Pray and don’t lose heart.” A tax collector’s simple, honest prayer beats religious performance. Children remind us the kingdom is received, not earned. A wealthy ruler shows how good things can become ultimate things—and how surrender invites the “impossible” of God. On the way to the cross, Jesus opens a blind man’s eyes. Today: pray persistently, walk humbly, hold loosely, follow Jesus.

Continuing our study in Luke, chapter 14 presents Jesus modeling mercy, teaching humility and inclusive hospitality, and demanding that disciples count the cost and carry the cross. Then we move into Luke 15, we see how Jesus answers religious grumbling with the lost sheep, coin, and son—showing God’s eager pursuit and heaven’s joy over repentance, where grace restores the humble.

In this teaching Pastor Bill explains how this chapter emphasizes repentance,spiritual fruitfulness, compassion over legalism, and readiness for God’skingdom. It reminds us that God is patient but just, and that we must respondto His call before it’s too late. Turn to God while there’s still time—bearfruit, show mercy, and walk the narrow path.

Pastor Bill guide us through Luke 12 as we see we Jesus' teaching focusing on hypocrisy, materialism, divine care and readiness for His return. Always remember the importance of living in readiness and making peace with God and others beforefacing judgement.

As we continue our study in Luke 11, we learn those who hear the word of God and keep it are blessed. In this study Pastor Bill expands on several things we need to do to receive and keep those blessings.

As we begin our study in chapter 11, we begin learning how Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray, giving them asimple model that honors God, asks for daily needs, forgiveness, and protectionfrom temptation. He then encourages persistence in prayer, assuring that God isa generous Father who gives good gifts—especially His Spirit—to those who ask.

After saying how much discipleship can cost, in this study we see Jesus sending the 70 out to do the very thing that can be so costly. In our study Pastor Bill expands on Jesus'  teachings on discipleship, mission, love and the kingdom of God.

Continuing our study in the Book of Luke, in chapter seven we learn how we are called to mirror the faith of the centurion, the gratitude of the sinful woman, and tostand in awe of the compassion of Christ, as exhibited in the raising of thewidow's son. The chapter reaffirms that faith, humility, and love are valued inthe kingdom of God, more than self-righteousness or ritualistic adherence toreligious norms.

After an introduction about newness, Luke continues with the Sermon on the Plain-which we know as the Sermon on the Mount. While there is controversy if thisis even the same sermon we hear in Matthew, Pastor Bill explains why it's citedthis way and dives into the similarities of this beautiful sermon.
