WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE? In this episode of Jesus Stories, Jesus' teachings become more pointed - more direct. Through parables, Jesus confronts the Pharisees and their attitudes about money and teaching on honesty and faithfulness. He uses a parable to point to their attitude toward the poor. And he will discuss the nature of the coming Kingdom of God and the need to be watchful and ready for its arrival.

What Happens in this Episode? This Jesus Stories episode allows the scriptures to tell the story of the birth of Jesus. While I connect each reading with a short commentary, the scriptures speak the story for themselves. At the end we draw some conclusions about how Jesus has affected the entire world and ask, Has he affected yours?

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE? It’s a story that starts at the beginning of time. In this episode of Jesus Stories, we tell the entire story of Christmas. What happened in the beginning which created the need for Jesus to come to earth? How did that happen? (Yes, the familiar story you’ve heard all your life, maybe!) What does it mean for you and me today? How does Jesus brings us new life, reconciliation, and salvation? Without this coming we would still be looking for those life-giving attributes.
