Jesus leaves Tyre and Sidon, and goes to the Decapolis, a gentile region across the Sea of Galilee with ten cities. Immediately, he heals a deaf man, by touching his ears and tongue, and speaking 'be opened.' The people say 'he does everything well.' Crowds follow him into the wilderness, where he performs miracles and multiplies fish and bread. The numbers and symbolism of the multiplication paint a picture that the gospel, the break of life, and the body of Jesus, is for the whole world.  Mark 7:31-37Matthew 15:32-39 Mark 8:1-10www.messagetokings.com

History

Society & Culture

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

Episode 226: 29AD: Evangelism 201 & Heaven's Ambassadors

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

The Feast of Tabernacles continues. Jesus confronts the religious leaders referencing the future cross, how the truth will set you free, and evades stoning multiple times only to heal a blind man from birth.  The healing causes a stir and the blind man becomes an instant evangelist. 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
