The crowds follow Jesus and the disciples to the side of the lake. As we examine Jesus' ministry here, we learn the patterns and mindset of operation the Savior used. (There were some technical difficulties with the audio for this recording. We apologize.)
Jesus heals on the Sabbath and we see the hardness of the religious people as they begin to plot against Jesus.
Jesus and his disciples pick grain on the Sabbath and the Pharisees accuse Jesus of breaking The Law. Jesus challenges the thinking of their hearts. Duty in serving God can replace our knowing and having life in God. How do we keep our duty from stifling spiritual life?
Jesus is questioned about his disciples not fasting. Jesus is bringing the new principles of The Kingdom and turning the Jewish religious system on its head.
