- Jesus gives the third of three parables about the chief priests and elders of the people, giving his perspective of the situation. It’s revealing in what it says about them, but also about us and about the character of God.

- In our text, Jesus’s authority is challenged by the chief priests and the elders of the people. His response is revealing, in that no one is able to “outsmart” the Lord. In addition, we see a marvellous example of our servant-leader, and the truth shared in love. What’s incredible to consider is how the Holy Spirit is shaping and forming and making us more like Jesus.

- Pastor Dan Schilke from Northgate Fellowship joined us this weekend to teach us about maintaining extraordinary faith on our walk with the Lord. A message the Lord put on Dan's heart for us, he taught about how growing our faith isn't simply the grand things done in the sight of many, but the faith we have in ordinary spaces of life. We studied Luke 17:5-19 and Mark 9:14-29 to find that having extraordinary faith looks like a daily abiding walk with God with prayer and fasting and obedience to His commands.

- In Matthew 21, Jesus makes what has been termed the "Triumphal Entry" into Jerusalem. All of it is fascinating, as Jesus is fulfilling prophecy, involving two of the disciples in obtaining the donkey's colt, cleaning out the money-changers from the temple, healing people, and having his first interchange with the chief priests and the scribes. It's his first day in Jerusalem and it's helpful to see how Jesus' actions here are consistent with his declaration about coming to serve instead of being served, being a servant-leader.
