Episode Synopsis

In Luke 20:41–21:4, Jesus engages in a power struggle with the religious elite—unveiling their attempts to control, manipulate, and diminish His authority. But He doesn’t respond with more control—He responds by revealing a deeper truth: real power is found in surrender. Through one question, one warning, and one widow’s quiet faith, Jesus challenges us to drop the rope we’re tugging on in our striving, comparison, and exhaustion. This sermon from our Power series invites us into a different kind of strength—a Jesus-centered life shaped by humility, rest, and trust. When we let go of the need to control everything, we finally experience the peace that only comes through surrender to Him.
