Jesus teaches and warns about the attitude of the scribes and their desire for prominence and attention then highlights a humble widow who gives all that she has to the house of the Lord

Jesus is tested by a scribe who asks what is the greatest commandment. If we would be willing to actually hear the depth of Jesus response to him it would not only drastically change our lives but the lives of those around us.

John 14:15 – “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

1 John 4:20 – “If someone says “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?”

Jesus is challenged by a couple groups of leaders after He angered the religious leaders even more with one of His parables. We look at the importance of motives, a helpful way to come to God when we realize our motives may be just a little off and we talk about how to handle some potentially hostile conversations about Jesus.

Jesus speaks this parable against the religious rulers but what can we learn from it? Don’t be quick to say “That’s not me” but instead let Holy Spirit search your heart and bring conviction if needed. What God builds is great if we let Him do the work He desires to do in us.

Jesus teaches a lesson on prayer and faith from the cursed fig tree. Can we really receive whatever we ask in prayer? Do I really have to forgive others???? Then some of the religious leaders come with a question and get the questions turned on them.

Let His Word challenge you, search you, refine you and make you more like Jesus!!!!

Jesus talks about persistent prayer in the parable found in Luke 11:5-13

Jesus Curses A Fig Tree And Clears The Temple

Jesus sends His disciples ahead and instructs them to untie and bring Him a donkey. He gives them specific instructions not only what to do but also what to say when they are questioned. We will see that the same is true for us, when Jesus instructs us what to do He will also let us know how to do it….. Just not maybe the way we would want Him to sometimes.

***The statement – “I’m just a donkey carrying the King” was made by Todd White (I remembered and must give credit where credit is due)***

Jesus again tells of His upcoming death and resurrection and then discusses greatness with His disciples. To be great you must become a servant of ALL….. Let that sink in for a moment.

Trust in riches and the stuff that we have makes it impossible to enter into the kingdom (Jesus words, Not mine). But still we see that there is hope in God because ALL things are possible with God. If we are willing to let go to Him nothing can stand is His way.
