- In the World, Not of ItThis page opens the prayer behind the popular phrase 'in the world, not of it,' John 17:14 to 18, and shows the one request Jesus refused to make: that His people be taken out of the world rather than kept in it.
- The Good SamaritanThis page follows the lawyer's two questions and the road itself, then shows how Jesus reverses the question from who qualifies for love to who acted like a neighbor.
- The Prodigal SonThe page walks the parable in five beats, from the complaint that provoked it through the far country, the rehearsed speech, and the father's run, to the second son left standing outside the music.
- The World's HatredThis page traces the world's hatred to its source in John 15 and Matthew 10, then shows how the hostility, the command it carries, and the injustice of it were all foretold in advance.
