Every parent wants good things for their children—health, happiness, success. But in a crowded, busy world, how do we make sure our children get what matters most? In Matthew 19, a group of parents fought through a crowd and faced unexpected resistance just to get their kids near Jesus. Why would they go to such trouble? And why did Jesus' own disciples try to stop them?

This week, we will discover whose responsibility it is to bring children to Jesus and why it can't wait.

The Pharisees approached Jesus with a question designed to trap Him—but it's a question people still ask today: "What justifies ending a marriage?" Jesus' answer silenced them. But then His own disciples responded in a way that revealed a different kind of resistance —one that many in our culture have embraced wholeheartedly. Why did the disciples react so strongly? And what option did Jesus notably refuse to offer them?

This week, we will discover what Jesus says to those who seek an escape from God's design for marriage or an alternative to it.

Have you ever found yourself keeping track of how many times someone has wronged you? Perhaps you've thought, "This is the third time they've done this to me"—as if reaching some magic number would finally justify cutting them off. Peter had the same instinct when he approached Jesus with what he thought was a remarkably generous offer regarding forgiveness. But Jesus' response shattered Peter's entire framework and revealed something shocking about the nature of grace.

This week, we will discover what our forgiveness from God demands of us when others sin against us.
