- 0:07Today, April 12th. The right path, not every.
- 0:12Path that feels right is actually right.
- 0:16That can be hard to accept. Especially when our feelings
- 0:19feel strong and our choices seem reasonable in the moment.
- 0:23Proverbs. Chapter 14 Verse. 12 says there
- 0:26is a way that seems. Right to a man, but it's end is
- 0:29the way to. Death that is a.
- 0:30Serious warning, it reminds us that instinct alone is not
- 0:34enough. Sincerity.
- 0:36Is not the same as wisdom. You can feel sure and still be
- 0:39heading in the wrong direction. That is why Psalm 100. 18 verse
- 0:448 says it is better to take refuge in the Lord.
- 0:47Than to trust in man when life gets confusing, we often lean on
- 0:52our own understanding or the opinions of other.
- 0:54People we trust. What is trending, what is
- 0:57convenient, or what makes us feel safe in the moment?
- 1:01But God. Offers something better than
- 1:02human. Guesswork, he offers Truth.
- 1:05He offers direction. He offers a refuge.
- 1:08That does not shift when our emotions do.
- 1:11Jesus also teaches. In Mark chapter. 12 that God.
- 1:14'S Kingdom does not work like the.
- 1:16World expects. His way often looks different
- 1:19from the path people naturally choose.
- 1:22The world says push ahead, protect yourself.
- 1:24Prove yourself and get to the top.
- 1:27Jesus teaches humility, love, surrender, and obedience.
- 1:31His path may not. Always look easiest, but it
- 1:33always leads to life. Maybe there is an area in your
- 1:37life right now where something. Seems right.
- 1:40But you have not really. Brought it before God, maybe?
- 1:43It is a. Relationship A.
- 1:45Habit. A decision or a direction you
- 1:47are considering? Slow down.
- 1:49Ask. The Lord to search it, let his
- 1:52word. Shape your steps more than your
- 1:53feelings do. The right path is not always the
- 1:56most popular 1 and it is not always the one that makes
- 2:00immediate sense. But when God.
- 2:02Leads you can trust where he. Is taking you.
- 2:05His wisdom sees. Farther than you can.
- 2:08Let's pray. Heavenly Father, help me not to
- 2:10trust only what seems right to me.
- 2:13Teach me to bring my. Choices before you.
- 2:15And to seek your wisdom above my own understanding when I feel
- 2:19unsure. Be my refuge.
- 2:21Lead me on the path that honors you and protects my heart.
- 2:25Give me humility to follow your way even when it looks different
- 2:28from what the. World expects.

- 6:13Mark Chapter 12 World English Bible.
- 6:16He began to speak to them in parables.
- 6:19A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for
- 6:23the wine press. Built a tower, rented it out to.
- 6:26A farmer and went into another country.
- 6:29When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get
- 6:32from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
- 6:34They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
- 6:39Again he sent another servant to them, and they threw stones at
- 6:42him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully.
- 6:45Treated again, he. Sent another and they killed him
- 6:49and many others, beating some and killing some.
- 6:52Therefore, still having one his beloved son, he sent him last to
- 6:56them, saying they will respect my son.
- 6:59But those farmers said among themselves.
- 7:01This is the. Air come, let's kill him and the
- 7:04inheritance will be ours. They took him, killed him and
- 7:08cast him out of the vineyard. What therefore, will the Lord of
- 7:11the Vineyard do? He will.
- 7:13Come and destroy the farmers and will give the vineyard to
- 7:16others. Haven't you even?
- 7:18Read this scripture the stone which the builders.
- 7:20Rejected was made the head of the corner.
- 7:23This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes.
- 7:26They. Tried to seize him, but they
- 7:28feared the multitude. For they perceived that he
- 7:30spoke. The parable against them.
- 7:32They left him and went away. They sent some of the Pharisees
- 7:36and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
- 7:41When they had come, they asked him.
- 7:43Teacher, we know that you are honest and don't defer to
- 7:45anyone. For you aren't.
- 7:47Partial to anyone but truly. Teach the way of God.
- 7:51Is it lawful to pay taxes? To Caesar or not?
- 7:53Shall we give? Or shall we not give?
- 7:56But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do you test
- 7:59me? Bring me a denarius that I may
- 8:01see it. They brought it.
- 8:04He said to them, Whose is this image and inscription?
- 8:07They said to him, Caesar. S Jesus.
- 8:10Answered. Them render to Caesar the things
- 8:12that are Caesar. S.
- 8:14And to God, the things that are gods.
- 8:16They marveled greatly at him some.
- 8:19Sadducees who say. That there is no resurrection
- 8:22came to him, they asked him saying teacher.
- 8:25Moses wrote to us. If a man's brother dies and
- 8:28leaves a wife behind him and leaves no children.
- 8:32That his brother should take his.
- 8:33Wife and raise up offspring for his brother there were 7.
- 8:36Brothers the 1st. Took a wife and dying left no
- 8:40offspring. The second took her and died,
- 8:43leaving no children behind him. The third likewise.
- 8:46And the seven took her and left no children.
- 8:50Last of all, the woman also died in the resurrection when they.
- 8:53Rise, whose wife? Will she be of them for the
- 8:57seven had? Her as a wife, Jesus.
- 8:59Answered them. Isn't this because?
- 9:01You are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power.
- 9:04Of God for. When they will rise?
- 9:06From the dead. They neither marry nor are given
- 9:09in marriage. But are like.
- 9:10Angels in heaven. But about the dead that they are
- 9:14raised. Haven't you read In the Book of
- 9:15Moses? About the Bush, how God spoke.
- 9:18To him saying, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and
- 9:21the God. Of Jacob.
- 9:23He is not the God. Of the dead.
- 9:25But of the living. You are therefore.
- 9:28Badly mistaken, one of the scribes came and heard them
- 9:31questioning together, and knowing that he had answered
- 9:34them well, asked him Which commandment is the greatest of
- 9:38all? Jesus answered.
- 9:39The greatest is here Israel, the Lord our God, the.
- 9:42Lord is 1. You shall love the Lord your God
- 9:46with all your heart, with all your soul.
- 9:48With all your mind and with all your strength.
- 9:50This. Is the first commandment the?
- 9:532nd is like this, you shall. Love your neighbor as yourself.
- 9:57There is no. Other commandment greater than.
- 9:58These the scribe. Said to him.
- 10:01Truly, teacher, you have said. Well that he is 1 and there is
- 10:05none other but he and to love him with.
- 10:07All the heart. With all the understanding, all
- 10:10the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his
- 10:12neighbor as himself is more important than all whole burnt
- 10:17offerings and sacrifices. When Jesus?
- 10:19Saw that he answered wisely. He said to him, You are not far
- 10:24from God's Kingdom. No one dared ask him any
- 10:26question after that. Jesus responded as he taught in
- 10:31the temple. How is?
- 10:32It that the scribes say that the Christ?
- 10:34Is the Son of David, for David himself said in the Holy.
- 10:38Spirit. The Lord said to my Lord, sit at
- 10:40my right hand until I make your enemies the footstool.
- 10:43Of your feet. Therefore David himself calls
- 10:46him. Lord, so how?
- 10:48Can he be his son? The common people heard him
- 10:51gladly in his teaching, he said to them.
- 10:54Beware of the scribes who like to.
- 10:56Walk in long robes and to get greetings in the marketplaces
- 11:01and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best.
- 11:03Places at feasts those who devour widows houses.
- 11:07And for a pretense, make long prayers.
- 11:10These will receive. Greater condemnation.
- 11:13Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the
- 11:16multitude cast money into the treasury.
- 11:18Many who were rich cast in much. A poor widow came, and she cast
- 11:23in two small brass coins. Which equal.
- 11:25A quadrants coin. He called.
- 11:28His disciples to himself, and said to them, most certainly I
- 11:31tell. You this poor.
- 11:33Widow gave more than all those who are giving in to the
- 11:35Treasury. For they all.
- 11:36Gave out of their abundance. But she, out of her poverty,
- 11:40gave all that. She had to live on.
