He was too short to see over the crowd, so he climbed a tree. Jesus looked up, called him by name, and invited Himself to dinner. Today we talk about what happens when we go out of our way just to get close to Jesus — and He meets us there. (S7E12)

 The crowd tells him to be quiet. He shouts louder. Today we read about a blind beggar who refused to let social pressure keep him from his one chance — and the specific, honest request that changed everything. (S7E11)

 For the third time in Luke, Jesus tells the disciples plainly what's coming. They still don't understand. Today we slow down and sit with what it means that Jesus walked toward the cross with full knowledge of what it would cost — and kept walking. (S7E10)

Today we sit with one of the most heartbreaking moments in Luke and ask: what is the one thing Jesus might name in my life? (S7E9)

 This week moved through gratitude, the Kingdom already present, a persistent widow, a proud Pharisee, a humble tax collector, and children held up as the model of faith. Today, a Saturday pause to ask honestly: where is my persistence actually pointed right now? (S7E8)

 The disciples try to send the children away. Jesus calls them back — and says this is what the Kingdom requires: come like a child. Today we close Week 1 asking what it would look like to come to God without pretense, without credentials, just coming. (S7E7)

 Two men walk into the temple. One brings a résumé. One brings empty hands. Today we sit with one of the most pointed parables Jesus tells — about the posture that actually leaves us right with God. (S7E6)

 An unjust judge finally gives a widow justice — not out of righteousness, but because she won't stop coming. Today we talk about what persistent prayer actually looks like, and why not giving up keeps us close to God while we wait. (S7E5)

 Jesus describes His return like lightning across the sky — unmistakable, impossible to miss. Today we talk about the difference between anxious sign-watching and faithful, present-tense living while we wait. (S7E4)

 The Pharisees want to know when the Kingdom of God will arrive. Jesus says it's already here. Today we talk about what it looks like to stop waiting for the Kingdom to show up and start noticing that it already has. (S7E3)
