What if true power isn't about force, but about gentleness? Jesus revolutionized kingship by choosing restoration over punishment, healing over crushing. He doesn't snuff out flickering flames - He fans them back to life. Are you ready to discover the gentle king who brings hope to all nations?

Surrounded by a huge crowd, Jesus did not seek to impress them with His knowledge. He did not seek to gain more fame by explaining the mysteries of the Kingdom. Instead, he spoke to those who were walking in rebellion in a way that veiled the truth. Yet, He calls these same people to repent and believe in Him. After this they may come to Him and learn. This is the meaning behind parables and we will discuss this today.

God's shocking declaration in Hosea 6:6 changes everything: He delights in mercy rather than sacrifice. What does this mean for how we live today? Jesus quoted this verse when defending His ministry to outcasts and sinners. Are we more concerned with religious performance or showing God's heart to others?

Haven done great and mighty miracles, having cast out many demons, Jesus must now face His most painful attacks, those from His own family! Jesus is accused of being crazy by His own family! During this time some Scribes also come to Him and accuse Him of using the power of the Devil to perform these works.
