With the "Passion Week" in full swing, the parables that Jesus is speaking out are becoming less subtle each time! This is the first of a handful of strongly spoken ones, with an unambiguous point to the audience at hand. But they also call us to reflect on our modern faith expression too - it's safe to say that all of us are one parabolic son or the other!

A short interaction between Jesus and the priests following the cleansing of the Temple - this is the opening discussion before a handful of parables are presented to them

This episode explores some of the symbolism behind the so called 'Cursing of the Fig Tree.' Was it a case of Jesus being 'hangry?' Or, was there something deeper going on?

This episode explores the famous story of Jesus cleansing the Jerusalem Temple

The second piece centered on Jesus' Triumphant Entry. A great passage for reflection around the Holy week, but also a natural forward movement in the narrative any time you are listening to this series.

This is the first of three shorter reflections on the event known to us as the "Triumphant Entry." This particular episode involves a short look at some key Old Testament prophecies and how these are being fulfilled through Jesus, with Matthew's attention to Zechariah 9 being the centrepiece of this section of the journey.

The final episode before the "Passion Week" narrative begins - an important parable that helps us understand the Kingdom of God a little more.

This is an exploration of the ministry of Jesus to Bartimaeus and Zacchaeus, and the common ground they both shared.

As the disciples start approaching Jerusalem, Jesus has both an ominous statement to make about his own cross, but also some strong words for his disciples as they respond to that news in a strange way!
