Why is it that the Priest and the Levite saw the exact same thing that the Samaritan saw but did nothing? We need to shift our focus so that we can begin to see the people and circumstances in our lives the way Jesus sees them.

Final study in Luke 20 . Jesus has been teaching in the Temple but is on his way to the Cross. This study continues through the first 4 verses of Luke 21 and draws a fascinating contrast between these very self-absorbed religious leaders and a poor widow.

Like a heavyweight boxer watching his opponent’s legs turn to jelly just before he hits the canvas, Jesus delivers one final punch … and it’s a knockout! To this point the punches exchanged have had to do with questions of authority, position, purpose and a literal resurrection. Now, Jesus himself is going to ask the questions.

Two issues of relevance for us: 1) is there a literal resurrection of the body; and 2) the correct use of scripture. Here’s what I want you to learn today: there’s a huge difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. This is both for your personal growth and also to protect you from organized religion gone rogue.

In Mark 10:13-16 we find 4 simple things we can do to be better fathers (disciples).

Even if you don’t believe in God or buy into what the Bible says, you can learn something from this story.

This is a battle that you and I face every single day - Who is in CONTROL?

Whatever trial, humiliation, pain, etc. that you are facing, look for how God would position you to accomplish his purpose – it always will have to do with making disciples of Jesus Christ for the kingdom, living stones in an invisible temple that God is building.

Jesus’ example: Only when you are rightly related to God can you have confidence in all your other relationships, both good and bad.
