At long last, the long journey to Jerusalem concludes with the raising of Lazarus, the anointing of Jesus's feet, and the triumphal entry into the city. But is this meant as a crescendo or a letdown? Join the Third Hour Podcast as we discuss the particulars of the beginning of Holy Week.

As the narrative of Luke's Gospel merges with those of Matthew and Mark, the Third Hour Podcast discusses some hard parables about wealth, the rich young man's question, and the architecture of gates in Jerusalem.

Today on the Third Hour Podcast, Jesus pauses his journey to Jerusalem to teach a number of parables, including the Prodigal Son, Dishonest Manager, and Lazarus and the Rich Man.

Continuing from last week's introduction to the Gospel of Luke's journey toward Jerusalem, the Third Hour Podcast talks about slavery, redefining the sermons of Matthew, a radical interpretation of the parable of the barren fig tree, and the merciful frankness of Jesus.

This week on the Third Hour Podcast, we begin the second act of the Gospel of Luke, a ten-chapter journey in which Jesus sets his face to go to Jerusalem, shares the parable of the Good Samaritan, and teaches about priorities.
