WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE:

Jesus tells stories in this episode of Jesus Stories! Jesus was the consummate storyteller. But his stories all had a purpose. They were used to teach secrets about the Kingdom. These are secrets that some can hear and understand; others cannot. We go through some of Jesus’ stories in this episode including the explanations which Jesus offers to his disciples. Then, we begin telling the stories of Jesus’ miracles. We watch as Jesus stills a storm at sea. And we meet a man who is possessed by a Legion of demons – until Jesus meets him.

#4-34 Spiritual War & Woes

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?

In this episode of Jesus Stories, Jesus begins showing his disciples how his new Kingdom should look. We meet two remarkable people who have faith that is commended by Jesus. A Roman Centurion is sure that Jesus can hear a deathly ill slave just by speaking. And a prostitute honors Jesus at the home of a Pharisee exercising a faith that Jesus says saves her. In between, Jesus raises the son of a widow and shows John’s disciples that he is the one for whom they have been waiting.

#4_21 – Healing & Teaching

Posted on by admin

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

This episode of Jesus Stories will complete the confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders of the day; including the proof that Jesus presents for his identity. He makes these leaders even madder when his disciples “harvest” grain and eat it on the Sabbath and he heals a man in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Finally, he leaves the city and goes out to the Sea Galilee only to be met with a crowd of people needing healing and exorcisms.  All of this fulfills prophecy told 600 years before by Isaiah.

I promised a map for you to reference! Here it is!

#4-19 Jehovah, Jesus, and the Sabbath

Posted on by admin

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

This episode of Jesus Stories takes us into some deep theological territory. Jesus will heal a man on the Sabbath and then be taken to task for such an action by the religious leaders of the day. So, Jesus takes the time to explain exactly who he is and by what authority he is able to do such a thing. Such authority, he says, comes from His Father – a blasphemous statement to these religious leaders. But Jesus doesn’t back down. We learn much about Jesus in this episode.

4-15 Whom Do You Believe?

What Happens In This Episode:

In this Jesus Stories, we meet several people who have different reactions to Jesus and his teaching. The residents of Sychar believe Jesus. So does a government official from Capernaum. But, the Jews in Jesus home synagogue and some other Jews decided that they didn’t believe. Some fishermen believed after seeing an awesome catch. And evil spirits knew who Jesus was but not his purpose. The question I ask at the beginning is this: Whom do you believe? (We’ll talk more about that question in the next episode.)
