Pastor Sam and Mark are together again and go verse by verse through Mark chapter 7. Jesus begins serving notice that the old ways were done, and he was bringing a new order. It feels like big things are just around the corner!

Pastor Sam and his wife Laura are on the podcast this week, as Mark is out recuperating. They discuss the 6th chapter of Mark and explain what the stories contained there can tell us about the identity of Jesus. What kind of person is he?

Pastor Sam and Mark discuss the story of Zacchaeus. Coming after an account of the Rich Ruler in Luke 18, this encounter between Zacchaeus and Jesus is definitely intended for us to see the contrast as we watch a rich man pass through the eye of a needle.

Pastor Sam and Mark discuss the case of someone who had it all—money, youth, power—and still found their life to be empty. He comes to Jesus, who tells him that he lacks just one thing. It's the same thing we have all lacked at one point in our life.

Pastor Sam and Mark discuss the Parable of the Wedding Feast from Matthew chapter 22. Here Jesus again warns the self-righteous and declares that God will pursue the wedding guests, welcoming the humble and removing the prideful.

Pastor Sam and Mark have another doubleheader with two parables unique in that Jesus tells you what they are about before he tells the story: the Persistent Widow and the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. All right after the longest introduction in history.

Pastor Sam and Mark discuss the Parable of the Rich Fool, one of many parables about money Jesus told. Jesus discussed money more than he spoke about faith and prayer combined, because he knew how dangerously seductive it could be to our hearts.

Pastor Sam and Mark on the Parable of the Good Samaritan. They work through the context and setting for this story, then make some modern day application from it. Ultimately, Jesus is the greater Good Samaritan and sets the example for us.
