God has an eternal, unchanging, unstoppable plan. 

Jesus is worthy of our faith when we are helpless and hopeless. 

In a series of three parables, we learn about the power of God's word and the importance of listening to the word. 

The parable of the four soils.

Jesus teaches that all sins will be forgiven except blaspheming the Holy Spirit and that all who do the will of God are his family.  

When Mary said, "I am the Lord's Servant, be it unto me," she wasn't saying yes to an influencer platform, a book deal, a speaking tour, or an easier life.  She said yes to rejection, childbirth, lack of sleep, nighttime feedings, and changing diapers.  Serving Jesus was not the gateway to a great life; it was a gateway to service. 

Jesus is not a patch to make one part of life better. He wants to transform your life

If you feel like you are not good enough for God, you are exactly the type of person Jesus came for. 

Jesus wants us to know that He has authority to forgive our sins.  No matter what we have done in our past, we can be forgiven.

The cleansing of the Leper shows us that Jesus has power to cleanse us when we come to him in faith.
