"Jesus Summarizes Law In Just Two Commandments" is the forty-fifth sermon in this series. In a final questioning (from the scribes this time) Jesus is asked which commandment is the greatest. Jesus says that loving the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength is the greatest commandment. He also adds a second great commandment: to love others as ourselves. If we keep these two commandments, we keep all commandments.
"Jesus Answers Questions About Heaven" is the forty-fourth sermon in this series. Jesus is confronted by the Sadducees with a question about heaven. They denied the reality of an afterlife so their question was intended to trap Jesus. Instead, Jesus corrects their thinking and teaches us something about the eternal God.
"Truth About Taxes" is the forty-third sermon in this series. Jesus discusses taxes and the right of ownership.
"Jesus Tells Story of Vineyard Tenants" is the forty-second sermon in this series. Jesus tells an interesting story of a man who places tenants on a vineyard. The lessons within the parable demonstrate Israel’s rejection of God’s prophets and the messiah and show that God has been gracious and longsuffering.
"Elders Question Jesus’ Authority" is the forty-first sermon in this series. Jesus’ activity during the week leading up to His crucifixion leads the Sanhedrin to question Jesus’ authority. Jesus answers by asking a question of His own and leaves the ruling elders of Israel speechless.
"Jesus Angry With Tree & Temple Crowds" is the fortieth sermon in this series. Jesus shows indignation in an object lesson by cursing a fig tree and in his disdain for the greed that existed in the temple. Places meant for truth and worship had become places for pride and greed and Jesus would set it straight in a powerful way.
"Crowds Praise as Jesus Enters Jerusalem" is the thirty-nineth sermon in this series. Jesus enters Jerusalem in a very public and decorated fashion. Great crowds praise him as the savior as Jesus rides into the city on a donkey, fulfilling the scriptures.
"Bartimaeus of Jericho Now Able To See" is the thirty-eighth sermon in this series. In this last miracle before he enters Jerusalem, Jesus heals a blind man named Bartimaeus. As the crowds rebuke Bartimaeus for asking for mercy, Jesus shows him mercy by granting him sight.
