Psalm 127 points to how a house and a household can be built in God’s favor, but in the process exposes our own vanity. Jesus fulfills Psalm 127 in surprising ways that remind us that while we may be forgotten by man we will never be forgotten by God.

A simple question about taxes becomes one of the deepest conversations Jesus ever has about human identity. When He asks whose image is on the coin, He is leading us to a bigger question: whose image is on us? This week we'll explore what it means to belong to God, why we've forgotten our true source, and how Christ restores what sin has distorted.

"Who made you the boss of me?" is not just a modern question, but also the very question Jesus faces in the temple courts. As religious leaders challenge His authority, Jesus reveals that everyone serves something and that the real issue is not whether we have authority in our lives, but where we've placed it. Through a surprising parable, He shows us an authority unlike any the world has ever known.
