1. Jesus compares the kingdom of God to seemingly common and insignificant things. Someone wants to know how many people will be saved and Jesus responds in an interesting way. What does it mean to enter through the narrow door? Jesus laments over Jerusalem and another person is healed on the Sabbath.
  2. Scott and Caleb are joined by pastor Bob Hiller to talk about his book Christ in the Straw. The book serves as a devotional commentary through James. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
  3. Jesus says He is distressed over a certain baptism and division will follow Him. People want to know about degrees of sinners, but Jesus blows apart all ideas of Karma. And a woman is healed on the Sabbath, but the rulers of the synagogue find it impossible to rejoice.
  4. Anxiety, big barns, and the folly of assuring your own soul.
  5. Jesus goes to a Pharisee’s house for dinner where He serves up a heavy portion of law.
  6. Luke 18:1-14: The Parable of the Persistent Widow Get what you want from God by pestering Him until He gives in! Actually . . . NO. Knowing the nature and character of God gives us boldness to approach Him.
  7. Jesus tells a parable about a “Good Samaritan” in response to a lawyer trying to trap Him.
  8. Matthew 13: The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares Craig and Troy discuss multiple parables at once, and so they come to the conclusion that sometimes an evil weed looks like a righteous one but sometimes a good fish looks bad. But when it comes to the Kingdom, only Christ and His angels will know how to separate one from the other. How are we to know which ones Christ has died for?
  9. Jesus sets His face toward Jerusalem as the disciples struggle with greatness.
  10. The children of Israel are on the fast-track to bondage. What is so tempting about foreign gods and why do the people turn to them so quickly?
