This week we look continue our look at the last week of Jesus life in the Gospel of Mark. In our passage (Mark 12:38-44) Jesus observes the worship and giving of the religious leaders in the temple in juxtaposition with the presence and generosity of the widows among them.

How do we best partner with God in the work He entrusts to us? This week Jesus has another powerful interaction with the religious leaders as Jesus confronts how the leaders started to believe that influence God gave them was for their own good rather than God's glory. Mark 12:1-12 has a lot to teach us as Jesus pulls references from Isaiah 5, Psalm 118, and taps into themes from Genesis 1. We tal...

In this episode, they examine Mark 11:12–26—two strange and often misunderstood moments: Jesus cursing a fig tree and...
