People have a very hard time admitting when they have done wrong. Instead, we ignore it, deny it, or justify our sin. Jesus, however, reminds us that we must repent of our sins before it is too late—and time is running out. When we do, we experience joy, peace, and freedom found only in Christ.

One of the ways we worship God's way is by evangelizing: sharing the gospel with those around us. Immediately before his ascension, Jesus instructed his followers that we are not to be distrated away from evangelism, but we are instead to be engaged in evangelism.

Jesus told his skeptics that the sign of Jonah would be the ultimate evidence that he is Messiah who should be believed. That sign is the resurrection. Because Jesus physically rose from the dead, it proves that he is Messiah and that we should obey his teachings. Do you submit to Jesus or, like the crowds, do you continue to deny him?

Christians who live out their faith will encounter rejection from those in the world. While we cannot control the actions of others, we are responsible for how we react to rejection. Jesus' disciples responded by wanting to punish those who reject God. Jesus, however, demonstrated the proper way his followers should react when rejected.

Elitism, self-righteousness, or a "holier-than-thou" attitude is something that we all have encountered, and it's something that—if we're honest—we all have struggled with in ourselves. We've all looked down upon or thought less of someone because they were different or weren't part of the right group. Jesus confronts this sinful narcissism and elitism in his disciples, and we must confront it in ourselves and in our churches.

After hearing about Jesus' ministry, King Herod asked a question that people have been asking for centuries: "who is this Jesus?" There are many opinions about the identity of Jesus. Christians must refute the false identities of Jesus and proclaim the true identity of Jesus. This requires that Christians take seriously the study of sound, biblical theology so as to avoid heresy and false teaching.

During a conversation with a Pharisee, Jesus teaches what it takes to truly appreciate the greatness of God's forgiveness and how to tell if we do have such appreciation.

Jesus came to usher in a new covenant, which meant a new way of doing things. The Pharisees, like many today, did not like the idea of new ways and new things; they wanted to cling to the old. Jesus taught the Pharisees and us that the old ways and old covenant cannot coexist nor be blended with the new ways and new covenant.

Love is not what the world and Hallmark make it out to be, and that goes for God's love as well. Divine love is both who God is and what he shows through his actions toward mankind.

Jesus taught Scripture throughout Galilee in his early ministry, and people responded quite differently. The people in the region liked Jesus' teaching while those in his hometown had a different response.
