In this passage, the religious party question Jesus and His disciples’ lack of ceremonial fasting. Jesus takes the opportunity to teach about the new covenant.
"Local Tax Collector Quits Job" is the eighth sermon in this series. The calling of the disciple Matthew was viewed as highly scandalous, given Matthew’s vocation as a tax collector. Matthew had a sinful job and many sinful acquaintances but when the Messiah chooses him, he leaves behind his sin and introduces his friends to Jesus.
"Formerly Paralyzed Man Walks After Help From Friends" is the seventh sermon in this series. Jesus begins to travel with his disciples, preaching in various towns.

"Decline in Fishermen on Sea of Galilee" is the third sermon in this series. Jesus calls His people to a radical new identity and here, Mark records the beginnings of that. Jesus calls people away from former lives and into new ones with a greater purpose.
"Judean Wilderness Setting for Baptisms, Fasting" is the second sermon in this series. Jesus is baptized by John in the Jordan River and then immediately is driven further into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. There, Jesus fasts for 40 days and is tempted by Satan.
"A Strange Man Draws Crowds in Countryside" is the first sermon in this series. Mark begins his gospel with the forerunner of Jesus: John the Baptist. John’s message is one of repentance and Mark makes it clear that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied of in the Old Testament.
"The Lions" is the sixth sermon in this series. Daniel was famously cast into a den of lions because of his refusal to pray only to the king. Daniel’s faithfulness landed him in a precarious position of needing to rely on God’s faithfulness.
"The Wall" is the fifth sermon in this series. King Belshazzar was a co-regent at the fall of the Babylonian empire. He was hosting a drunken party on the night of the fall of Babylon and God eerily informed him of the doom that was coming for him and his kingdom.
"The Tree" is the fourth sermon in this series. God can humble the most highly exalted and powerful people. This is seen clearly in the narrative of Nebuchadnezzar. God reveals Himself to the king through a tree and through Daniel and then carries out the humbling of the king.
"The Image" is the third sermon in this series. As time passes in exile, dangerous false religion runs rampant. All are forced to worship an idol (statue) built by the king and refusal to do so will result in execution by being thrown into a furnace. Three Hebrew men refuse to bow their knees to a false god.
"The Dream of a King" is the second sermon in this series. God supernaturally reveals some things to the king of Babylon through a dream. God then shows favor and faithfulness to His people through Daniel’s ability to explain the dream to the king.

"God's Covenant" is the twenty-fourth sermon in this series. Our God is a God of promises: a covenant God. After delivering the Levitical law, God gave clear foresight on what to expect and it was based upon obedience.
"Caring For Land & People" is the twenty-third sermon in this series. The people of Israel were to care for the land that God was giving them and they were also to care for humanity. The principle being taught is that we honor the good things that God has given us but we reserve worship for God alone.
"God’s Presence and Reverence" is the twenty-second sermon in this series. God takes His name seriously. Leviticus 24 tells us of a man who didn’t take God’s name seriously and paid a high price for it. The same chapter also gives us details of similar reverence that was required to be in God’s presence in the tabernacle. With such a high importance placed on reverence in God’s presence, it’s even more remarkable that God has chosen to dwell within His church in the new covenant.
"Offerings and Acceptable Worship" is the twenty-first sermon in this series. The Old Testament saints were given meticulous laws of sacrifice to follow. Most notably, their sacrifices always had to be their best. Under God’s new covenant, the principle of giving our best as an act of worship remains.
"Annual Feasts" is the twentieth sermon in this series. Israel had a rigorous calendar consisting of several annual feasts. These feasts and holidays carried heavy spiritual significance and found their fulfillment in Jesus. Because Jesus fulfilled them, we don’t continue to observe them. But we can rejoice in the symbolism of a meal each time we eat.
"Planning Parenthood" is the nineteenth sermon in this series. Child sacrifice is one of the most detestable things touched on in the book of Leviticus. The nations around Israel offered their children as sacrifices to the false God Molech. In God’s laws concerning the family, we see God’s values of parenthood, childhood, sanctity of life, and honor for all.
"Holy Leadership" is the eighteenth sermon in this series. The priests were called to the utmost holiness and this call to holiness even overflowed into their personal lives. Under the new covenant, God has made all believers priests, which means that we’re all called to live in the utmost holiness.
"Miscellaneous Commandments" is the seventeenth sermon in this series. At times in God’s law, we come across lists of commandments. Some of them can be quite strange! In this sermon, we examine one such list and give the principles that God is teaching Israel in them as well as how they relate to us today.
"Love Neighbors as Ourselves" is the sixteenth sermon in this series. The command to love our neighbors as ourselves is foundational in our faith. Our expression of love to neighbors models Jesus’ love for us on a cross.
"Love God in Holiness" is the fifteenth sermon in this series. God’s people are called to holiness because God exists in perfect holiness. In the beginning, God created mankind in His image and in the redemptive narrative of scripture, God is restoring His people to that. The process of sanctification has to do with us becoming holy as God is holy.
