<p>In Luke 20:1–26, Jesus exposes what lies beneath resistance to His authority. As Israel’s leaders confront Him in the temple, their questions reveal not honest curiosity but hardened unbelief, stubborn desires, and a refusal to submit to the true King. Pastor Casey McCall shows how Jesus’ counters—His question about John’s baptism, His parable of the vineyard, and His brilliant response about paying tribute to Caesar—reveal the real issue: the human heart does not naturally want Christ to rule.This passage forces each of us to consider whether we, too, resist Jesus’ authority in subtle ways—by justifying our desires, ignoring God’s Word, or giving Him our lip service instead of our lives. The heart of opposition is not merely an ancient problem; it is the battle every disciple must confront. And the good news is that the rejected Son has become the Cornerstone—the One who rescues, restores, and reigns.🖥️ Learn more at ashlandcc.net📱 Stay connected with us on Facebook &amp; InstagramSubscribe for more sermons and share to encourage others!#TheHeartOfOpposition #Luke20 #ToSeekAndToSave #AshlandCommunityChurch #JesusIsLord #GospelOfLuke</p>
