Jesus Stories

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE? In this Jesus Stories we continue pausing to review and explain some important teaching which Jesus offers to his followers. We look again at faith. But this is faith that might falter. We talk about leadership – specifically “servant leadership.” Then we look at conflict. How does he ask us to handle some tough situations? Jesus offers some very practical advise.

What Happens in This Episode? In this Jesus Stories episode, we take a deep dive into two questions. First, Jesus asks all of us, “Who Do You Say I Am?” The answer to this question had profound effects on the life of Peter who responded, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Our answer also has profound effects on our lives. We discuss the implications of that answer. Second, Jehovah God asks, “To whom do you listen?” Our response determines how we live. Through the Sermon on the Mount, we ask the questions Jesus might have for us to determine to whom we are listening. Scriptures Referenced in this Episode?

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE: Jesus: “What does everyone say about me?” Jesus: “Who do you think that I am?” Peter jumps in with a confession and Jesus responds with an important and controversial reply. The apostles are given access and authority. Jesus shares his future sufferings with his followers. But Peter reprimands him. Jesus responds by telling everyone that following Jesus is costly; it may even cost your life. Jesus is transfigured in front of Peter, James, and John. Jehovah God affirms his identity. Jesus casts out a demon which his apostles cannot cast out. The disciples argue among themselves about who is the greatest. Jesus teaches about humility. The disciples ask about someone throwing out demons in Jesus’ name who is not a part of the group. Jesus teaches on conflict resolution.

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?
