Join Izzy, Zoe, and Zach as they conclude their powerful parable series with the Parable of the Wicked Tenants in Luke 20, unpacking what it means to steward what God has entrusted to you, why the gospel message is both offensive and gracious, and how Jesus directly confronted the religious leaders who rejected God's messengers and ultimately His own Son. This episode dives deep into Jesus' challenging story about a vineyard owner who planted a vineyard, leased it to tenants, and sent servants to collect the harvest, only to watch them be beaten, shamed, wounded, and cast out. Discover what happens when the owner finally sends his beloved son, how the tenants respond by killing him to claim the inheritance for themselves, and what Jesus reveals about the danger of pride, duplicity, and hardened hearts in leadership.
