As we journey back through the genealogy of Jesus, Duane Major looks at Zerubbabel, tasked with leading the exiles back to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple, the problems he faced, how we manage our hopes and expectations, and how we respond to God's initiatives and how we plan in expectation of God's response.

Duane Major introduces our journey through the parables of Jesus with a look at the images Jesus used to describe the Kingdom of heaven, and what it means for us to have a role in the coming of the Kingdom.

With the help of a couple of friends, Claire Russell takes us through Matthew 11, showing us what the crowd missed about John the Baptist, how Jesus upbraided the people for not believing in him, and the right way to live that his yoke frees us for.
