Episode notes

In this episode we continue on with Luke 11:37-54 where Jesus goes to a Pharisees house for dinner and subsequently speaks woes to both the Pharisees and the scribes. From this passage we discuss how each of the woes sheds light on the misconceptions and misrepresentations of the Pharisees and scribes while also simultaneously extending an invitation for each of them to abide with God. In the same way, these woes can expose our own misconceptions and misrepresentations and invite us to abide with Him as we seek to live in His kingdom.
