We look at what happens when the King of the Universe rides into His last week on a donkey. Not a mighty steed, a sign of wealth, power, and security, but a humble, stubborn, plain ole donkey.

We are challenged by a passage where Jesus does some surgery on the human heart. Gossip is confronted and confrontation redeemed as we learn the upside-down road of loving people enough to have the courage to help them address the sin in their lives even as we embrace them helping us with our own.

Jesus answers a question with a question and some stories, revealing Himself to be The Answer.

John sends word to Jesus from prison and asks the question we are all asking: Is Jesus the one? Is this the story trumping all others, the one we’ve been waiting for?

Jesus ends His epic sermon on the mount with a warning, with a call to the narrow, difficult way to life with Him. We build our lives not on sinking sand but on the wisdom and power of God found in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.

If we’re honest, we often want to control God and Others, and get what we want out of them. Jesus teaches us another way, the way of asking, seeking, knocking from a heart that trusts God.

Through a vivid portrait of people with planks in their eyes Jesus shocks us awake to the destructive ways we judge and manipulate others, and how through trusting God we are free to be healthy so we can help others be healthy.

We hear a story from Jesus about Steve and Frank, asking ourselves why and how we should forgive the people in our lives. We learn the cost of keeping score and the freedom that comes with forgiveness.

Revenge seems to make the world go around. We are constantly, in every relationship and interaction, tempted to make things right by taking an eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. A mean word for a mean word. Jesus offers another path.

Jesus tells us God’s plan A for the world: us living as salt and light. The people of grace, captured by the great love of God, making the lives of others taste better as they live out the mission of Jesus and share His message right where hurting people live.
