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.

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.

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 episodes begin to go deeply into Jesus’ teaching regarding the honoring of the Law and the Prophets. Jesus compares the sayings of the Law – “You have heard it said” – with the intention his Father had for the saying – “But I tell you”. We talk about the commands “do not murder” and “do not commit adultery.” What is Jehovah God really saying in these commands? How does it mean we are to act now?

What happens in this episode?

In this Jesus Stories episode, we delve deeper into the Beatitudes Jesus proclaimed as he started the Sermon on the Mount. Far from being a prescription for you and me to live, the Beatitudes are an invitation for everyone to be a part of the Kingdom of Heaven. I explain this interpretation from the book, The Divine Conspiracy, Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God by Dallas Willard.
