Dwell with the words of the risen Christ to know and proclaim the reality of the risen Christ.

What happens when someone is given everything they need to succeed and still refuses to deliver? What if the person who gave it to them keeps asking, keeps waiting, and keeps being ignored? At what point does patience run out, and what does the response look like when it does? These are the tensions Jesus brings to the surface in a story that made the most powerful men in Israel condemn themselves without realizing it.

This week, we will discover how God responds to those who take His gifts but withhold His fruit.

Have you ever told someone you would do something and then never followed through? What if God measured your devotion not by what you say but by what you actually do? And what would it mean if the people least expected to honor God ended up ahead of the people everyone assumed were closest to Him?

This week, we will discover what Jesus teaches about the difference between professing loyalty to God and genuinely living it out.

Have you ever poured out your heart to God about a decision, only to feel like you were talking to the ceiling? Most of us assume the problem is timing or mystery. But what if God's silence is actually a response? In this passage, the most powerful religious leaders in Israel ask Jesus a direct question, and He refuses to answer. His silence wasn't inability or evasion.

This week, we will discover why God sometimes withholds guidance and what we can do about it.

A temple packed with worshipers. A tree covered with leaves. Both looked alive, but one got cleansed, and the other got cursed. What did Jesus see that everyone else missed? And why did blind beggars and shouting children receive His approval while religious experts received His rebuke?

This week, we will discover what kind of worship God actually recognizes as genuine and how the answer might not be what we expect.

Have you ever watched Jesus do something that didn't make sense? A prayer goes unanswered. A situation gets worse instead of better. His timing feels off. His methods feel strange. The crowd on Palm Sunday had the same experience. They watched Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey (not a war horse) and thought they understood what He was doing. They were wrong. Within five days, confusion turned to outrage, and "Hosanna!" became "Crucify!" What went wrong? How could people so close to Jesus, people serving Him, praising Him, and listening to Him, miss what He was actually doing?

This week, we will discover what prevents us from understanding Jesus' methods and how receiving His mission changes everything.

As Jesus and his disciples left Jericho on their way to Jerusalem, two blind men sitting by the road called out to him for mercy. The crowd around them told them to be quiet, but they refused. What Jesus did next, and why he did it, reveals something important about the kind of king he is and the kind of people he stops for.

This week, we will discover what the Lord's compassion produces in those desperate enough to cry out for it.

What would you do if you had direct access to the most powerful person around and could ask for anything? What would your request reveal about what you really value? In this passage, a bold request triggers an eruption of anger among Jesus' closest followers, and what comes to the surface is something none of them expected. Jesus responds with a statement so counterintuitive that it would have stunned every person in the room.

This week, we will discover what Jesus taught his disciples about the path to honor in God's kingdom.
