A rich young ruler asked Jesus, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" A great opportunity awaits for Jesus to give this man the step-by-step instructions on how to become a Christian. But Jesus doesn't seize the moment... or does he? Listen to Part 1 of a two Part talk, and discover how Jesus challenges this man reconsider everything he's ever known.

A few brave souls in the crowd thought, "hey, I wonder if Jesus would let me bring my baby to him?" The disciples rebuked such an effort. And Jesus rebuked their rebuke.

In this Reminder of Grace, Jesus tells a parable about a widow who relentlessly pursued justice from a judge. What does this parable teach us about how Jesus understood God as a Judge? You might be surprised.
