Abraham, Sarah…and Abimelech: The Promise is in Jeopardy
Lesson 30 in the Genesis: Foundations Sunday School class.
Surely Not!
Luke 20:9-18 ~ Following the challenge to his authority by the religious leaders in the crowd, Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard owner who attempts to require settlement from his tenants. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches the meaning of the parable and how it directly applied to the nation of Israel, which shocked those listening when they realized what that meant to them.
Shall Not the Judge of All the Earth Do What is Just?
Lesson 29 in the Genesis: Foundations Sunday School class.
Challenging the Authority of Jesus
Luke 20:1-8 ~ Following the cleansing of the temple, the chief priests, scribes, and elders started scheming to find a way to discredit Jesus and they confronted him with a question that was certain to accomplish that. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches how Jesus’ response to this challenge—the first of four that will he will see on this day—actually confirms the validity of his power and authority.
The Sign of the Covenant
Lesson 28 in the Genesis: Foundations Sunday School class.
Compassion for Jerusalem
Luke 19:41-48 ~ After his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus weeps because he knows the condition of the hearts of people and their future judgment. Pastor Rod Bunton explains why this action and the cleansing of the temple reflect the compassion Jesus felt for those who would eventually condemn him.

The Time Has Come
Luke 19:28-40 ~ Jesus has finally arrived at Jerusalem and he orchestrates the events which lead to him to entering on the back of a colt of a donkey to much praise and adoration. Pastor Rod Bunton shows us how this long-planned event for a humble king marks the beginning of the most important week of the Messiah’s first coming.
The Abrahamic Covenant
Lesson 26 in the Genesis: Foundations Sunday School class.
Judgment According to Our Works
Luke 19:11-27 ~ Sensing that his followers were anticipating the appearance of the promised kingdom when he arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus taught about the timing of the kingdom and the judgment that it would bring through a parable. Pastor Rod Bunton helps us see, through the meaning of this parable, that we will all be judged by our deeds and how these “good works” fit into the doctrine of justification.
The Spoils of Sodom vs. the Blessing of God
Lesson 25 in the Genesis: Foundations Sunday School class.
A Wee Little Man
Luke 19:1-10 ~ In Jericho, Jesus encountered another unlikely person that was seeking him while on his way to Jerusalem. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches how Zacchaeus, a social outcast like the blind beggar in the previous passage, was called to salvation and responded immediately and joyfully.
