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.

What Is In This Episode?

This episode of Jesus Stories delves into the early opposition to Jesus’ teaching. Who objected to his words? Why did they object? How did Jesus answer them? What does that mean for you and me? When we hear Jesus’ words, do we really hear him? Or do we object to his words due to our own preconceived notions?

#4-17 Resistance Begins

What Happens in this Episode?

In this week’s Jesus Stories episode, we continue telling the narrative of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee. We start in Capernaum – Jesus’ home base – where he teaches and, again, confronts an evil spirit. This is followed by more teaching and lots of healings. We’ll see two well-known healings: Peter’s mother-in-law and the man let down through the roof of an over-crowded house. Jesus calls Levi (Matthew) and then attends a party which Levi throws for him. In these last instances, Jesus confronts the attitudes of the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law.

Here is a reference map of the region covered in today’s show.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE:

This episode of Jesus Stories concludes the interview we started with Dennis about a month ago (Episode #3-16 Encounter with Evil). Dennis shares how with the help of his newfound Savior, Jesus, he begins to overcome the evil which has been tormenting him. Because of the length of the interview, this episode is a bit longer than what I usually post. But, it is important to hear the whole story and understand the victory he is enjoying.

Two notes about Dennis:

Can a man change? He may not be able to; but Jesus can change him. Today’s Jesus Stories episode features a man known for successful dirty political tricks; tricks which will elect a politician to office.

He creates a ministry that still operates today after his death. Come meet this extraordinary man.
