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:

In this Jesus Stories episode, we examine the question of costs. Have you ever considered the value of the Kingdom of God? Jesus explains this to us. Given its value, then, what is the cost to follow Jesus into the Kingdom of God? Jesus explains that to us, too. We take a deep dive into these questions as we consider “The Cost For Following Jesus.” This is a tough teaching to hear. But, it is crucial to understand what Jesus asks of us as followers.

4-36 Warnings & Waiting

What Happens in this Episode?

We resume the narrative from episode #4-34. Jesus is in the midst of a crowd of thousands of people. People are stepping all over each other – in spite of Jesus rough teaching to the Pharisees. Now Jesus turns to these people with his own warnings about the Pharisees. He continues with a challenge to speak up for him even when it is difficult. He teaches about greed and repeats a lesson we heard in the Sermon on the Mount – don’t worry. He reminds his listeners to be ready; ready to serve, ready for Jesus to return.

#4-34 Spiritual War & Woes

Posted on by admin

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

What Happens in This Episode?

In this episode of Jesus Stories, we find out who supports Jesus and his disciples financially. We see the opposition to Jesus’ ministry increase. But we also see Jesus fighting back with some very “to the point” teaching. In this episode, Jesus is accused of working in league with the devil after he throws a demon out of a man. Jesus corrects that misconception with some simple logic. Then he refuses the Pharisees demand for a miraculous sign; he changes the definition for family; and roundly condemns the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and teachers of the law.

What Happens in This Episode?

In this Jesus Stories episode, we’ll spend some time talking about faith. In our last episode, Jesus had three encounters with people that demonstrated some kind of faith. One example was faith that was unusual for the person holding it. Another was a questioning faith. Finally, there was the faith of a very sinful woman. What do these encounters teach us? How did Jesus respond to them? We answer these questions in this episode.

What Happens in This Episode?

This Jesus Stories episode dives into Jesus teaching from the Sermon on the Mount on judging? Yes, he says, “do not judge.” But, that is not the whole teaching. We take a look at the meaning behind this teaching to understand what he is really saying. And why does he end with the “Golden Rule”?
