Hallel Fellowship

Servanthood, the surprising path to spiritual power. This study of Genesis 24:1–41; Judges 19:16–21; and Ephesians 5:15–33 plunges into the lives of biblical icons Rivkah (Rebekah), David's wife Abigail, and the Prophets. It uncovers a paradox: true authority emerges from humble service. Explore the delicate dance between respect and truth, as honesty proves the wellspring of genuine esteem. Discover how timeless principles of the soul can revitalize modern economics. At the heart of it all, the "bride of Messiah" beckons, a call to sacrificial love that transforms both individual and community. Prepare to have your assumptions upended, as this journey upends what we think are the biblical rules of "headship."

This study examines Genesis 23; 1Kings 1 and Acts 7, emphasizing God's eternal promises over human pursuits of longevity and control. Abraham's purchase of Machpelah, David’s succession planning, and Stephen’s sermon highlight faith in God's unfolding plan. While biohacking seeks to extend life, Scripture reminds us that true immortality is only found in Messiah (Christ). Rather than fearing death, believers are called to trust in God's sovereignty and focus on eternal purpose in Him.

Sacrifice, provision, and redemption intertwine in Genesis 22 and parallel passages in Isaiah 33 and Matthew 27. From the עקדה Akeidah (the Binding of Isaac) to the ultimate sacrifice of the Messiah, we see a tapestry of faith-trust and the transformative power of trials. Discerning the unseen, responding to the call and embracing shalom amidst chaos — this study invites us to cultivate vision, endurance, and a deeper understanding of the God who sees, provides, and redeems. May we answer the summons of Heaven the way Abraham and Isaac did — הִנֵּנִי hineini ("here I am").

The promised Seed of Eve was destined from the beginning of the world to crush the head of the one who brought misery to Earth. That Seed is traced through the miraculous births of Isaac, Samuel and ultimately Immanuel — the Messiah, God with us. Amidst human failings and spiritual decline, God's sovereign plan unfolds, revealing a trajectory from Eden to eternity, where the glory of His presence is restored. This study of Genesis 21, 1Samuel 1–2 and Matthew 1 invites us to trust the Creator's promises, discern His ways, and anticipate the coming of the King who will establish His eternal kingdom.
