May 600:28:38Tap to summarizeAfter setting the historical scene (Ninevah, Tarshish, etc.) Zack explains how Jonah 1 teaches us that God loves the ninety-nine as well as the one -- and, through Jonah, shows us the lengths to which He will go to reach the one.
Transcribe →A God Who Entrusts, Humans Who Follow: Mark 16:1-20
Apr 2600:27:00Tap to summarizeHow, exactly, does the Gospel of Mark end (at verse 8 or at verse 20)? What is the significance of the fact that we can ask this question?

Transcribe →Palm Sunday: Luke 19:28-40
Apr 2600:32:18Tap to summarizeThe stones would cry out: Zack meditates on this detail from Luke's telling of Palm Sunday to reflect on the cosmic scope of that day.
