1. Judge not, build your house on the rock and bear some good fruit.
  2. “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?”
  3. Jesus gives a long list of ethical demands for His disciples that seem contrary to everything that comes naturally.
  4. Sabbath breaking, hand healing, legalism, and the Beatitudes.
  5. A paralytic is lowered through a roof, sins are absolved, an unlikely person is called to follow Jesus and Jesus gets in trouble for partying with sinners.
  6. Leprosy, demons, sinful fishermen and a mother-in-law. All that in more in this episode.
  7. Temptation in the wilderness. A riot in His hometown. Silencing a demon. Jesus is busy in this episode.
  8. John is preaching in the wilderness and baptizing people in the Jordan River.
  9. If you admit that you’re the weaker brother, does that make you the stronger brother because the stronger brother refused to admit he’s the weaker brother? . . . or something like that.
  10. Jesus is born, and His birth is proclaimed to shepherds which includes good news for all of us.
  11. Orgies and drunkenness and licentiousness, oh my! Sometimes Christians get hung up on the really “big” sins, but Paul lists quarreling and jealousy right there with them. What’s the connection? Craig and Troy discuss how love does no wrong to a neighbor, for love is the fulfillment of the law.
  12. Daniel and Erick continue in Luke with the birth of John. Zachariah finally speaks and there is much to discuss in what he says.
