Welcome to Wayside Bible Chapel. We preach Christ throughout the Word of God, and we let him do the talking. If you are tired of topical sermons and bite-sized platitudes, you have come to the right place. Join us as we dig deeper into the living Word!

In our journey through the Gospel of Luke we've come to the betrayal and last supper. Luke's account has a few unique additions that are not in the other Gospels. Jesus explained the meaning of the supper and adds a promise that should thrill our souls.

We continue this week with Jesus' prediction of what was soon to happen and what would happen before His return. He not only gave us things to watch for, but He also told us what our attitude should be.

There are those who teach that if we are obedient to the Lord and give generously to Him, He will bless us with an abundance of wealth, health, and peace. But what did Jesus teach His disciples about their future and that of future disciples. In our passage for today He lays out a number of predictions that have proven true ever since His ascension. He also tells us how we are to face those conditions.

We are finally opening up from our long period of lock down when the murder of George Floyd took place. The marches and riots that followed with demands of de-funding police departments set the country on edge. What can bring us together? Are there any examples of overcoming differences in the past that would help us today? There is a solution!

As Jesus wound down His teaching in the temple, He observed a widow giving two tiny coins. Why was Jesus so impressed and what does it tell us about how God sees things? Then before leaving the temple He as much as sealed His fate by rebuking the hypocrisy of the religious leaders within the sound of His voice. While the people honored them to the extreme, Jesus exposed their worst hypocritical actions. Two examples are set before us to consider how we appear to God.

The religious leaders had some gotcha questions to try to incriminate Jesus. Jesus doesn't just answer off the top of His head. He gets to the real issue underlying their question. It's an issue we must all consider. In the process, the leaders found they were the ones who were trapped.

Once Jesus had taken over the temple, the Jewish leaders demanded to know where He got His authority. First He stumped them with a question that revealed to the people where those leader's hearts were. Then, He told a prophetic parable that upset not only the leaders, but the rest of the people in the audience as well.

Why would Jesus break down sobbing when people were proclaiming Him king and asking for Him to save them? Why would He get violent in the temple flipping the money changer tables and chasing out the animals? What do the answers have to do with us?

When Jesus entered Jerusalem on that foal of a donkey there was a confluence of prophecy and cultural timing rich with meaning. Do we recognize the time of God visiting us?
