Lesson Scripture: Mark 11:1-11
By the end of this lesson, we
should:
? Better understand the connec

Testaments
? Appreciate Jesus' teachings
? Shout hallelujah for the Messiah

Judea. Everywhere He went, a crowd
formed to see miracles and hear His
teachings.
Luke 13:22-19:27 recorded the
Perean Ministry. Pharisees were
always on His heels trying to find
errors in His teachings. Jesus clarified
their misunderstanding of divorce and
foiled them again. He also corrected
