In this episode of Midweek Move, Dallas and Carlos take a look at Mark 12:1–12 and discuss Jesus’ parable of the Tenants. What does it reveal about God’s patience, justice, and the rejection of His messengers? And what does it mean that Jesus is the “Cornerstone”? Together, they break this down verse by verse and explore how this parable calls us to build our lives on Christ rather than rejecting Him.
