In Matthew 21 and Mark 11, Jesus encounters a fruitless fig tree and pronounces a curse on it. From this seemingly strange event, we see Jesus teaching several lessons to the Disciples with Him and us as well.

Sermon: “Mary Anoints Jesus” (The Gospels, Part 100)
As Jesus is in Bethany on the day before the Triumphal Entry, Mary anoints Him with an expensive oil, creating a situation where we can learn several important lessons about humility and devotion to Christ.
Sermon: “Zacchaeus and the Parable of the Minas” (The Gospels, Part 99)
In Luke 19:1-27, as Jesus passes through Jericho, He gives us a lesson in humility by choosing to stay at the house of Zacchaeus. While there He takes the opportunity to share a teaching on the importance of being a faithful servant to The Lord.
Sermon: “Jesus Heals the Blind” (THE GOSPEL, Part 98)
Jesus has an encounter with a blind man on the road near Jericho. However, there is much more than we can learn from this event than simply Jesus’ power to heal.
Sermon: “Not to be Served, but to Serve” (THE GOSPELS, Part 97)
Mark 10:35-45 & Matthew 20:20-28
Disciples James and John make an audacious request of Jesus, and He seizes on the moment to teach His disciples about the importance of humility and having an attitude of servanthood.
Sermon: “Jesus Death and Resurrection Foretold” (THE GOSPELS, Part 96)
In Luke 18:31-34, as Jesus heads towards Jerusalem -and ultimately the cross- He takes the time to explain to His disciples hat is about to take place.
Sermon: “The Parable of the Laborers” (THE GOSPELS, Part 95)
In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus tells His disciples a parable that exposes our focus on worldly ideas of fairness rather than the grace and glory of God.
Sermon: “The Rich Young Ruler” (THE GOSPELS, Part 94)
In Matthew 19, Jesus’ encounter with a wealthy would-be disciple leaves us with a lesson on pride and idolatry.
Sermon: “Marriage & Divorce” (THE GOSPELS, Part 93)
In Matthew 19:1-12 & Mark 10:1-12, Jesus addresses a question about divorce and in doing so gives us not only a teaching on that topic but also a look at how we should seek to understand and follow the teachings of the Bible.
