John the Baptist was locked up in prison, and in prison, he was most likely beaten but also given autonomy where he sent his disciples away to ask if Jesus was the "coming one." Jesus answers him with action, miracles, signs, and wonders, and a praise report of the work of John the Baptist and speaks to his identity and purpose.  In this episode, we cover this scene, baptism,  our calling, the questioning of our calling, and our redemptive purpose.  Mark 6:17-20Luke 7:20-31Psalm 7:14-16Matthew 11:11-14John 14:1-2www.messagetokings.com

In Luke 11-13, Jesus demonstates the range of his ministry, by prophesying 5 woes to the Pharisees, scribes, and lawyers which parallel Isaiah 5. Then, he teaches the parable of the faithful servant, the parable of barren fig tree, and the parable of the rich fool.  Next, he evangelizes to the crowd when he delivers a woman from a spirit of infirmity.  Luke 11:37-54Luke 12:13-21Luke 12:54-59Luke 13:1-5Luke 13:10-17www.messagetokings.com

While the disciples went to and from Jerusalem, Jesus taught lessons on the road driving home the importance of his nature, the character of Christ.  "Lest we offend them," Peter caught a coin for the temple tax out of the mouth of a fish. Then, Jesus taught on humility, power by the wrong spirit, and three reasons people refused to be his disciple: comfort, money/tradition, and sin.  Matthew 17:24-18:9Matthew 8:18-22Mark 9:33-50Luke 9:46-50Luke 9:51-62www.messagetokings.com

We conclude this episode with Jesus' famous shepherd and door teaching, and how his sheep hear his voice.  John 8:12-10:21Revelation 19:10www.messagetokings.com
