WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

In this Jesus Stories episode, we delve deep into the three parables of Luke 15. In “Jesus’ Lost and Found” we look at how those parables reveal something of the character of Jehovah God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We also look at you and me and our needed response to those characteristics. What should we do with this information? What does it mean for each of us?

#4-55 I AM!

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 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?
