A Word in the Wilderness
Leave Her Alone
It is the night before Jesus’ final week. He is dining with his disciples in the home of Simon the leper. All goes well until a woman takes a jar of costly perfume worth the wages of a whole year and pours it all on Jesus. The disciples are enraged at this waste, but what does Jesus say about what she did?

The Generous Landowner
Jesus tells an unforgettable story of grace about a kind and gracious employer who surprises everyone with the wage he gives his workers, but when the disciples start arguing about who is the greatest it shows that the lessons have yet to sink in to their hearts.

The Rich Young Ruler
On a busy day, Jesus heals and teaches multitudes, answers a question from Pharisees, and blesses little children. Then, a rich, young ruler approaches and asks, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus’ answer surprised the ruler, the disciples, and people throughout the ages.
