6-9) story of the disappointing fig tree 3=nothing, gardener, 1 more year of special attention, if nothing then - cut it down
- Tree identified by its fruit - Luke 6:44
- Seeing leaves on a tree shows summer is near, in the same way, we see the kingdom of God is near - Luke 21:29-32 (turmoil, fear, and persecution are opportunities to tell about Jesus - Luke 21:13,14 - Standing firm wins your souls Luke 21:19)
10-17) Jesus heals woman crippled for 18 years by an evil spirit on Sabbath, synagogue leaders object, Jesus rebukes and shames them
18-21) Kingdom of God is like tiny mustard seed planted in a garden, grows into tree birds nest, yeast permeated through dough
22-30) "few be saved?", "Work hard to enter God's kingdom, don't do evil"
- True repentance is not knocking and pleading, saying "Lord, open the door for us!", it's not about eating with Jesus and seeing him teaching in the streets. It's knowing God intimately and him knowing you intimately.
31-35) Pharisees warn "go, Herod Antipas wants to kill you", "Tell him I'll stay casting out demons, healing until third day I will accomplish my purpose"
