BIG IDEA: Jesus reveals His authority and calls for wholehearted surrender.
THE QUESTION OF AUTHORITY (Mark 11:27–33)
Resistance to God's authority often hides behind skepticism.
The fear of people hinders obedience to God.
THE REJECTION OF THE SON (Mark 12:1–12)
God's patience is meant to lead us to repentance.
Rejecting Jesus does not change who He is—it determines where we stand.
THE QUESTION OF ALLEGIANCE (Mark 12:13–17)
Our citizenship in heaven shapes every earthly allegiance.
Because we bear God's image, our whole lives belong to Him.
QUESTION TO PONDER
Is Jesus your cornerstone or your stumbling block?
