We close today by looking at how God uses His disciples in all their unbelief to change the world. We are left with the same commission… As we go about our lives we are to tell about the wonderful good news that there is a King and His Kingdom is like no other.

In this episode we discuss all the events that took place on the day of Jesus’ death and burial.

Join with us as we continue through Chapter 14.

Today’s episode takes place on the Thursday of Passion week. This even Jesus be anointed by a close friend, will have the Last Supper, Pray in the Garden, and be betrayed. Tune in as we talk about each of these events and so much more.

We continue our discussion of end times and what exactly our job is in the waiting.

Jesus warns his disciples to Stay Alert in the days to come. He wants all disciples able to recognize the signs of the time and to be spiritually prepared to endure. We are called to anticipate His return. So instead of being fearful we are to be excited that His return is near.

In this episode we will unpack 3 different traps that the entire establishment tried to set for Jesus. His wisdom and discernment seems to effortlessly stop them in their tracks and makes the crowd even more enamored with Him. We end this episode with what He truly is looking for… the person who gives it all to Him and leaves none for themselves. That person ends up gaining it all.

In this episode Jesus rides in on a colt revealing publicly who He is! He also curses a fig tree out of love and grace exposing Israel’s roots and giving her time to repent. He teaches His disciples not to put faith in their own might, like Herod and the entire religious system does, but they too can move mountains by placing their faith in HIM as provider!

In this episode we will discuss the third time Jesus tells His disciples about what He will suffer and their insane response! Are we just like these disciples when it comes to ego, power, and position! We have to root that out! We will end the discussion by discussing a bling man they encounter on the way up to Jerusalem and see what we can learn from him. He may be physically blind but He sees...

In this episode we begin to discover that the Lord is compassionate towards the marginalized and how those who have to be dependent on Him enter the kingdom easier than those who are self sufficient.
