WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

In this Jesus Stories episode, Jesus tells his listeners of his identity.  However, the Pharisees and other Jews spend more time arguing than listening. Jesus challenges them with his words and reveals who he is, where he has come from, and from where he has received his authority. That doesn’t set well with the teachers and Pharisees. Although, some others believe.  I break down this teaching to help you understand this interchange.

What happens in this episode?

Jesus has made a startling statement in the middle of a joyous Jewish festival. “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” But what does this mean? We dig into this declaration and break it down for you.

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?

In this Jesus Stories episode, we take a deep dive into two questions. First, Jesus asks all of us, “Who Do You Say I Am?” The answer to this question had profound effects on the life of Peter who responded, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Our answer also has profound effects on our lives. We discuss the implications of that answer. Second, Jehovah God asks, “To whom do you listen?” Our response determines how we live. Through the Sermon on the Mount, we ask the questions Jesus might have for us to determine to whom we are listening.

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?
