1. Jesus sets His face toward Jerusalem as the disciples struggle with greatness.
  2. Believing stuff is about the stuff, not the believing. Gillespie and Riley read and discuss the book, Mission to Nuremberg. What happens when a pastor is called to minister to Nazi war criminals? This is the first of three episodes, where we talk about the power of the Gospel, state-sponsored religion, and pastoral care when it's attacked from outside and within the church.
  3. 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?
  4. Jesus foretells His death more than once and the disciples don’t understand it. Jesus says all who follow Him must take up their cross.
  5. Healings, mission trips and how to feed thousands with five loaves of bread and two fish.
  6. Lamps under beds, a raging storm and a demon-possessed man living in a graveyard.
  7. A Pharisee invites Jesus over for dinner and a prostitute shows up. How far does the forgiveness of Jesus go?
  8. Jesus is enemies with death and John the Baptist is the greatest man who ever lived... except for the least in God's kingdom.
  9. Judge not, build your house on the rock and bear some good fruit.
  10. “What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answers that question with a parable. We have our own question: “Who am I in this parable?” But a better question is “Who is Jesus for me in the parable?”
  11. Jesus gives a long list of ethical demands for His disciples that seem contrary to everything that comes naturally.
  12. Sabbath breaking, hand healing, legalism, and the Beatitudes.
