Day 303 | John 13:31-38; Mark 14:27-31; Matthew 26:31-35; Luke 22:31-38; John 14:1–15:17

In John 15, Jesus calls Himself the True Vine and reminds us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. Like branches connected to the vine, our only source of life and fruitfulness is found in abiding in Christ. The Father lovingly prunes every believer—cutting away what hinders growth—so that we might bear more fruit. Though pruning is painful, it leads to freedom, peace, and lasting joy. When we rest in Jesus instead of striving on our own, His life flows through us and transforms everything we touch.

Day 302 | Mark 14:1-2; Matthew 26:1-5; Luke 22:1-2; Mark 14:10-11; Matthew 26:14-16; Luke 22:3-6; Mark 14:12-16; Matthew 26:17-19; Luke 22:7-13; John 13:1-17; Mark 14:17-26; Matthew 26:20-30; Luke 22:14-30; John 13:18-30

At the Last Supper, Jesus gave His disciples one final, unforgettable lesson—not through words, but through action. As they argued over who was greatest, the Son of God knelt before them and washed their feet, taking the position of a servant. In this powerful moment, Jesus revealed that true greatness in God’s Kingdom comes through humility, service, and self-sacrifice. His example challenges us to lay aside pride and follow His way—serving others with love, no matter their status or our own.

Day 301 | Mark 13:32-37; Matthew 24:36-51; Luke 21:34-38; Matthew 25:1-46

In this episode, Jesus teaches about the end times and reminds His followers that no one knows the day or the hour of His return. Using examples from Mark 13 and Matthew 24, the hosts explore what it means to “stay alert” and live each day as if Jesus could return at any moment. They discuss the hope of the rapture, the importance of readiness, and the call to share the gospel with urgency. Whether He comes today or years from now, the message is clear—be found faithful when the Master returns.

Day 300 | Mark 13:1-23; Matthew 24:1-25; Luke 21:5-24; Mark 13:24-31; Matthew 24:26-35; Luke 21:25-33

As Jesus’ disciples marvel at the temple’s beauty, He shocks them with a prophecy: “Not one stone will be left on another.” Decades later, His words were fulfilled exactly when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in A.D. 70. In this episode, the hosts explore how this event proves the accuracy of Jesus’ prophecies and sets the tone for His warnings about future persecution. Though believers would face suffering, Jesus promised to give them words and wisdom that no one could refute. Even through persecution, the gospel would continue to spread, reminding us that God’s Word always comes true and His presence never leaves us.

Day 299 | Mark 12:28-34; Matthew 22:34-40; Mark 12:35-37; Matthew 22:41-46; Luke 20:41-44; Mark 12:38-40; Matthew 23:1-12; Luke 20:45-47; Matthew 23:13-39; Mark 12:41-44; Luke 21:1-4

As Jesus watches people give in the temple, He notices a poor widow dropping in two small coins—everything she has. While the wealthy give large sums out of their surplus, Jesus praises the widow for her sacrificial heart. God isn’t impressed by public displays of generosity but by hearts that trust Him fully. This episode explores what it means to give with faith, how true generosity reflects God’s own giving, and why the Lord values the sacrifice behind the gift more than the size of it.

Day 298 | Matthew 21:28-32; Mark 12:1-12; Matthew 21:33-46; Luke 20:9-19; Matthew 22:1-14; Mark 12:13-17; Matthew 22:15-22; Luke 20:20-26; Mark 12:18-27; Matthew 22:23-33; Luke 20:27-40

In today’s episode, Jesus tells the parable of the evil farmers—a story of a vineyard owner who sends servants, and finally his own son, only for them to be beaten and killed. This parable reflects Israel’s history of rejecting God’s prophets and ultimately His Son. Yet through rejection, God reveals His greater plan: the stone the builders rejected becomes the cornerstone of His new people, the Church. The hosts unpack how this parable ties together the Old and New Testaments, showing God’s patient love, humanity’s rebellion, and Christ’s role as the foundation of salvation.

Day 297 | ; John 12:37-50; Mark 11:12-14; Matthew 21:18-22 ;Mark 11:15-19; Matthew 21:12-17; Luke 19:45-48; Mark 11:20-33; Matthew 21:23-27; Luke 20:1-8

In this episode, Jesus enters the temple and finds it filled with corruption—people buying, selling, and profiting from worship. With righteous anger, He drives them out, declaring, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Though many had seen His miracles, most still refused to believe, loving human praise more than the praise of God. This moment reminds us that we are now God’s temple, and He desires holiness within us. Just as Jesus cleansed the temple in Jerusalem, He calls us to purify our hearts and return to true worship.

Day 296 | Mark 14:3-9; Matthew 26:6-13; John 12:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Matthew 21:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19; Luke 19:41-44; John 12:20-36

As Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of praise, He begins to weep. The people hail Him as king, yet they expect a conqueror with a sword, not a Savior bringing peace. Fulfilling Zechariah’s prophecy, the humble King rides on a donkey, but His heart breaks because the city does not recognize God in its midst. Jesus weeps for their blindness to true peace, the destruction that awaits them, and their failure to see His presence. This moment reveals the depth of God’s love and the tragedy of a people who missed His visitation.

Day 295 | Matthew 20:1-16; Mark 10:32-34; Matthew 20:17-19; Luke 18:31-34; Mark 10:35-45; Matthew 20:20-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35–19:27

In this episode, Jesus reveals what the kingdom of heaven is really like—a place ruled by God’s grace, not human fairness. Through the parable of the vineyard workers, we see a landowner who rewards each laborer equally, reminding us that God’s kindness cannot be earned. Jesus then teaches that greatness comes through humility and service, and He demonstrates this truth by seeking out Zacchaeus, the despised tax collector, to bring salvation to his house. God’s grace reaches all who turn to Him, no matter when or how they come.

Day 294 | Luke 18:9-14; Mark 10:1-12; Matthew 19:1-12; Mark 10:13-16; Matthew 19:13-15; Luke 18:15-17; Mark 10:17-31; Matthew 19:16-30; Luke 18:18-30

In Luke 18, Jesus tells the story of two men who went to the temple to pray—a proud Pharisee and a broken tax collector. The Pharisee boasted of his good deeds, but the tax collector simply cried out, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” Jesus declared that only the humble man went home justified. God resists the proud but draws near to the repentant heart. True righteousness begins when we stop comparing ourselves to others and admit our need for His mercy.
