Learning From Jesus #13 – Shaming “The Wise”

1 Corinthians 1:26-29
“26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise
according to worldly standards,[c] not many were powerful, not many were
of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the
wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God
chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to
bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being[d] might boast
in the presence of God.”

Learning From Jesus #8 – A House of Prayer for All

Mark 11:15-19
“19 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out
those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables
of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would
not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching
them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of
prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief
priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they
feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when
evening came they went out of the city.”

Learning from Jesus #7 – Let the Little ChildrenCome to Me

Matt 19:13-15
“Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them
and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little
children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the
kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away.”

Learning From Jesus #6 -“Real Friendship”

Scripture: Matthew 16:21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord![e] This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance[f] to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
