About this episode

This episode discusses Jesus' teachings on prayer, self-righteousness, and the importance of investing in the kingdom of heaven as He journeys towards Jerusalem.

We are almost halfway through the book of Luke, and Jesus and His disciples are on their way to Jerusalem and to the crucifixion of Jesus. On the way he teaches His disciples how to pray to God the Father, rebukes those who claim He uses demonic powers, chastises the generation who will put him to death, and denounces the self-righteous Pharisees as hypocrites. Finally, Jesus encourages his disciples to store up treasures in heaven, and to stop worrying about the future. Worrying doesn’t add years to your life, so why not choose a better way: spend your life investing the kingdom, rather than yourself.
