    We open this “new” podcast telling the why and how behind “Jesus Stories”. We will cover the life of Jesus in a chronological manner using the work of F. LaGard Smith.

Scriptures covered in this week’s lesson are: Matthew 1:1-17 Luke 3:23-38 Mark 1:1-3 John 1:1-18 Luke 1:5-38 Isaiah 40:3 Malachi 4:5-6 Genesis 15-16 Numbers 6:1-21 READ A TRANSCRIPT OF THIS POST Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

    1-02 – Births and Dedications
    Dec 27 2020
    This episode of Jesus Stories takes us into the birth stories of both John and Jesus. Remember, both mothers – Elizabeth and Mary – had been told that their babies were to be dedicated to the service of God. Elizabeth’s child was to prepare the way for the Lord – as prophesied long ago. Mary’s child was to be called the “son of God.” These births bring us praises; special songs dedicated to the glory of God. These are the first Christmas carols! Take a listen! Scriptures used in this story are: Luke 1:39-80 Matthew 1:18-25 Luke 2:1-21 Be sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram (Jesus_Stories_The_Podcast); or on Twitter (JesusStoriesPod).

    3-Worship and Fear
    Jan 12 2021
    This week’s Jesus Stories introduces us to the first people who met or wanted to meet Jesus. Two of them met Jesus in the Temple and praised and prophesied about him. A third person – an evil ruler – sought to kill him; while the magi came from afar to worship him and bring him gifts. Then we meet Jesus as a twelve year old giving his parents a scare of their life-time.

    1-04 – Cries from the Wilderness
    Jan 23 2021
    This week’s Jesus Stories, “Cries from the Wilderness”, cements the author’s validation of the identity of Jesus. John the Baptist points at Jesus calling him the Messiah. While Matthew and Luke show Jesus confrontation with Satan in which Satan loses and Jesus wins. To them, anyone who can stand against Satan, could only be the Messiah. Scriptures covered in this episode are: Luke 3:1-18 Matthew 3:4-6 Matthew 3:13-17 Luke 3:21-23 Matthew 4:1-11 John 1:19-34 Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

  • 1-06 – Nicodemus

    1-06 – Nicodemus
    Feb 22 2021
    In this week’s Jesus Stories, we listen in to a conversation between Nicodemus and Jesus – a conversation which occurred in the night, under the cover of darkness. Nicodemus, as one of the religious leaders of the Jewish people, had some deep questions for Jesus; and Jesus has some deeper answers for Nicodemus. We’ll delve into the conversation, explaining what is going on as it occurs. This conversation will take us further into understanding the Holy Spirit and the idea of being “born again.” We’ll look at what is probably the most quoted verse from the scriptures and think about the meaning of that verse. And we’ll wrap up with some of the images from the Old Testament which Jesus used to communicate his message to Nicodemus. (You may need to look these scriptures up from the links below.) The scriptures used in this week’s story include: John 2:23-25 John 3:1-21 Genesis 7:19-23 Exodus 14:19-30 Numbers 21:4-9 Follow Jesus Stories on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter.

    #1-07 – Argument & Conversation
    Mar 8 2021
    As we open this week’s Jesus Story, the disciples of Jesus think that they are in competition with John the Baptist. However, Jesus sets them straight on this point. Even John informs us of his non-competitive position; he will become less while Jesus becomes greater. Jesus and his disciples leave Judea and head to Galilee. They use the short route which takes them through the region of Samaria. Jesus stops to rest and we drop in on another interesting conversation between Jesus and a woman from Samaria – a person whom Jesus shouldn’t have been talking with – if he listened to the culture. Jesus spoke with her, identified himself to her, and gave her water that would be life for her and her village. Scriptures used in this story are: John 3:22-36 John 4:1-42 Don’t forget!

  • #1-08 – Jesus in Galilee, part 1

    #1-08 – Jesus in Galilee, part 1
    Mar 22 2021
    This episode picks up with the conclusion to Jesus visit to the Samaritan village of Sychar and how one conversation changed that village. He then travels north and revisits Cana, the village where we saw his first miracle. He heals a government official’s son from 25 miles away! From there, he proceeds to Capernaum – the town where he would base his ministry for the next couple of years. But, his ministry requires travelling. So, he will press on from there to visit his home town, Nazareth. After teaching in the synagogue there, he is almost killed, because, as he says, “No prophet is accepted in his own home town.” When his hometown folks try to kill him, he escapes and goes down to the Sea of Galilee where he teaches and calls more to be his disciples. Then we follow him back to his base, Capernaum, where we meet an evil spirit! This week’s scriptures are: John 4:39-54 Luke 3:19-20 Matthew 4:12-17 Luke 4:14-30 Luke 5:1-11 Matthew4:18-22 Mark 1:21-28 The demonstration of Jesus teaching from the boat can be found on this YouTube link.
