WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

From the beginning of time, Jehovah God has set an ideal for families. In this Jesus Stories episode, we begin by talking about this ideal. Then our guest speaker, Al Robinson, will take us into the current time and using the example of King David (or the non-example, if you will) share with us some principles we can put into practice to improve our family relationships. This is a vitally important discussion for Jesus Stories.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

It’s a story that starts at the beginning of time. In this episode of Jesus Stories, we tell the entire story of Christmas. What happened in the beginning which created the need for Jesus to come to earth? How did that happen? (Yes, the familiar story you’ve heard all your life, maybe!) What does it mean for you and me today? How does Jesus brings us new life, reconciliation, and salvation? Without this coming we would still be looking for those life-giving attributes.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

In this Jesus Stories we continue pausing to review and explain some important teaching which Jesus offers to his followers. We look again at faith. But this is faith that might falter. We talk about leadership – specifically “servant leadership.” Then we look at conflict. How does he ask us to handle some tough situations? Jesus offers some very practical advise.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE:

Jesus made seven “I AM” statements. Today we look at “I AM the Bread of Life.” As Jesus makes this statement, we find that it is difficult to understand what he is trying to tell us. We break this down in this episode. What is Jesus trying to tell us? What does it mean for us today? Are there actions we need to take to make this understanding a part of us?

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

How do you handle crowds? Jesus knew how. For a crowd of probably over 10,000 people, he provides teaching and healing and food. With just five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish, the crowd sits down to a picnic.

When his friends get into serious trouble at sea, Jesus comes to them in a surprising way. He even invites an apostle to join him!

The crowd is still with them – they’ve followed him across the sea. There is more teaching; this time it’s tougher. How can Jesus be the Bread of Life?
