  <description>When jesus comes to Jerusalem he gets into a series of conflicts with all the different members of the religious council known as the Sanhedrin. This council was the highest religious and political authority in all of Israel and also the group directly responsible for Jesus' crucifixion. In this podcast we go deep into the background of the Sanhedrin to try to understand their depth of influence and why they saw Jesus as such a threat.

  <description>A trip to gentile land highlights a huge difference between the Pharisees and Jesus. With their teachings and traditions the Pharisees make their faith exclusive and isolated from Gentiles. Jesus on the other hand goes among them and performs the same miracles he does in Israel. Join us as we discuss the accessibility of the Gospel, why it was a big deal in Jesus' time and why it is a big deal now.

  <description>Starting in chapter 4, Jesus would begin teaching in parables, often starting with the word "Listen". Some of these short simple stories held rich insight as to the nature and breath of the Kingdom of God. Others were meant for self reflection that would lead to repentance. 
Yet, Jesus purposely taught in ambiguous short stories to keep some people from understanding and repenting. If you think this seems counter intuitive, you should listen to this Podcast. We will wrestle with Jesus' motivation for teaching in Parables and we will draw deep insights from the lessons they hide.

  <description>John the Baptist was a significant figure in the Bible and of his time. He serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testament. Like Elijah he is the messenger who prepares the way for the arrival of the Lord. He is even spoken about by ancient historians like Josephus. Yet this revolutionary gives us a valuable lesson in humility as the basis of Christian living and ministry. Much like the people of his time, however, we can look past him and not give him the importance he deserves. In this podcast we try to give him his proper significance, listen and we hope you enjoy.
