Episode 56 [Mark 12:13-17]
The Pharisees and Herodians join forces to try to trap Jesus. Their idea is to discredit Jesus though the form of a question about taxes. How should people handle the idea of tax? Jesus' response to their question completely amazes the audience!
Is it difficult to wrestle with the authority of this world which God has placed over you?

Previous Episode (55):THEY KILLED HIS SON?! | The Vineyard
Episode 55 [Mark 12:1-12]
Today we get to take a deep dive into Jesus' parable, "The Tenants." As we've discussed in previous episodes, parables are simultaneously meant to reveal and conceal something. This time, the parable that Jesus tells is clearly understood by the listeners and it makes them angry!

Previous Episode (54):GOD'S IN CHARGE | Jesus Has Authority
Episode 54 w/ Parker Smith [Mark 11:12-26]
While Jesus is in the Jerusalem temple, the religious leaders try to confront Him so that He will stop teaching. They ask Jesus a question that they believe will trap Jesus and discredit Him.
Rather than answer, Jesus responds with a question to them. If they are able to answer Jesus' question, Jesus says He will answer their question. Because of the lack of response by the religious leaders to Jesus question, He refuses to answer theirs.
Jesus had and has all authority. No manner of human pressure or questioning will taint the fact that Jesus is the Son of God.

Previous Episode (53):JESUS FLIPS TABLES | Figs and Faith
Episode 53 w/ Howard [Mark 11:12-26]
Today's episode covers several different scenes in the life and ministry of Jesus. First, He curses a fig tree for not bearing any fruit. Second, He drives people out of the temple for treating the temple like a place of business. Finally, after the disciples see the dead fig tree that Jesus cursed, Jesus begins to teach them about the power of faith.
Even the smallest amount of faith can move mountains.
How can we increase our reliance on Jesus? How should we live in light of His absolutely and perfect authority over everything?

Previous Episode (52):AMAZING ARRIVAL | JESUS ON A DONKEY
Episode 52 w/ Kert Prater [Mark 11:1-11]
Finally, Jesus enters Jerusalem! While this event is commonly called the Triumphal Entry, it has a rather humble appearance. Jesus enters the city riding a donkey. However, the people witnessing this scene begin laying palm branches and clothes on the path that Jesus is on.
What does this event mean for us today? What does the event signify in the life and ministry of Jesus?

Previous Episode (51):BLIND BEGGAR CAN SEE | A Joyful Miracle
Episode 51 w/ Kasie Noble [Mark 10:46-52]
While Jesus and His disciples are on the fringe of Jerusalem and they happen upon a blind beggar named Bartimaeus. Amazingly, when Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was approaching, he shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy upon me!"
Jesus did not overlook this man's plea for mercy or his recognition of who He truly is. Jesus takes action in miraculous way!

Episode 50 w/ Granger Smith [Mark 10:35-45]
Two brothers approach Jesus with a very strange request. They ask Him to be seated for eternity at Jesus' right and left hand. Jesus response humbles the brothers and reminds them of a proper outlook of the Kingdom of God.
Do we die to self daily? Do we seek positions of glory for our own glory? Is seeking God our first priority?
