Message to Kings - A Biblical History of Man

Jesus spends time with Mary and Martha. Mary sits as Jesus' feet as if she is one of the disciples breaking religious and social norm. But, Martha was distracted with a bad attitude and serving. In this episode, Jannel discussed the difference here between relationship vs religious serving, and to take this as an invitation. Guest Speaker: Jannel Heaston Luke 10:38-42 www.messagetokings.com

In Luke 11-13, Jesus demonstates the range of his ministry, by prophesying 5 woes to the Pharisees, scribes, and lawyers which parallel Isaiah 5.

Next, he evangelizes to the crowd when he delivers a woman from a spirit of infirmity. Luke 11:37-54 Luke 12:13-21 Luke 12:54-59 Luke 13:1-5 Luke 13:10-17 www.messagetokings.com

While the disciples went to and from Jerusalem, Jesus taught lessons on the road driving home the importance of his nature, the character of Christ. "Lest we offend them," Peter caught a coin for the temple tax out of the mouth of a fish. Then, Jesus taught on humility, power by the wrong spirit, and three reasons people refused to be his disciple: comfort, money/tradition, and sin.

The Feast of Tabernacles continues. Jesus confronts the religious leaders referencing the future cross, how the truth will set you free, and evades stoning multiple times only to heal a blind man from birth.

Jesus leaves Tyre and Sidon, and goes to the Decapolis, a gentile region across the Sea of Galilee with ten cities. Immediately, he heals a deaf man, by touching his ears and tongue, and speaking 'be opened.' The people say 'he does everything well.' Crowds follow him into the wilderness, where he performs miracles and multiplies fish and bread. The numbers and symbolism of the multiplication paint a picture that the gospel, the break of life, and the body of Jesus, is for the whole world. Mark 7:31-37 Matthew 15:32-39 Mark 8:1-10 www.messagetokings.com

Jesus learns of the death of John the Baptist, as his disciples meet him in Capernaum carrying testimonies of God's power. They withdraw to Bethsaida to mourn for John the Baptist, but instead are followed by thousands into the wilderness. For days, Jesus ministers in power and teaches of the kingdom of heaven. After endless days of teaching and displays of power, he multiples bread and fish to feed five thousand. In this episode, we cover this wonder, its symbolism, and the astounding glory on full display and conclude with its horrid misinterpretation.

In this episode, we cover Jesus instructions, the actions of the disciples, and the so-called "Pre-Commission." Matthew 10 Mark 6:12 Luke 9:1-9 www.messagetokings.com
