How should Christians respond when crisis comes our way?  To understand an answer to this question, we study the disciples' reaction to Jesus' arrest and compare that to Jesus' own posture during the same event.

How can we understand the Olivet Discourse - the passage in which Jesus appears to be talking about the 'end of the world' just before His return?  Are those passages only apocalyptic or did they have some practical application for the disciples living in Judea?  We dig into this difficult passage and deal with the debated verse 30.  Finally, we turn towards the practical implications of Jesus' message for us in the 21st century.

What kinds of idolatry can even religious people struggle with?  We look into this question by studying Jesus' conversations with the Sadducees and the scribes in Jerusalem.  In the end, Jesus directed his disciple's attention to the most unlikely person and in so doing showed us how to deal with religious idolatry.

When Jesus said, "Render unto Caesar, what belongs to Caesar" what did He mean?  More importantly, what does that command mean for Christians living in the United States in the 21st century?  This text leads us directly into the difficult subjects of taxes, government, voting and the Lordship of Jesus.

Where does authority come from?  What authority does Jesus had?  If Jesus really had divine authority, then what caused the Jewish leaders to reject him?  We dig into this important questions as we focus on Jesus' last days before His crucifixion.

Speaker: Aaron Yoder

Did Jesus really present Himself as a king?  If so, what did he want from God's people in Jerusalem or his group of disciples?  We dig into those questions and study Jesus intentional actions as he entered Jerusalem for the last time before his death.  Then we consider how his actions & teachings apply to Christians who serve him as King.
