4-36 Warnings & Waiting
What Happens in this Episode? We resume the narrative from episode #4-34. Jesus is in the midst of a crowd of thousands of people. People are stepping all over each other – in spite of Jesus rough teaching to the Pharisees. Now Jesus turns to these people with his own warnings about the Pharisees. He continues with a challenge to speak up for him even when it is difficult. He teaches about greed and repeats a lesson we heard in the Sermon on the Mount – don’t worry. He reminds his listeners to be ready; ready to serve, ready for Jesus to return.

#4-34 Spiritual War & Woes
What Happens in This Episode? In this episode of Jesus Stories, we find out who supports Jesus and his disciples financially. We see the opposition to Jesus’ ministry increase. But we also see Jesus fighting back with some very “to the point” teaching. In this episode, Jesus is accused of working in league with the devil after he throws a demon out of a man. Jesus corrects that misconception with some simple logic. Then he refuses the Pharisees demand for a miraculous sign; he changes the definition for family; and roundly condemns the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and teachers of the law.

#4-33 Finding Faith in Unlikely Places
What Happens in This Episode? In this Jesus Stories episode, we’ll spend some time talking about faith. In our last episode, Jesus had three encounters with people that demonstrated some kind of faith. One example was faith that was unusual for the person holding it. Another was a questioning faith. Finally, there was the faith of a very sinful woman. What do these encounters teach us? How did Jesus respond to them? We answer these questions in this episode. Scriptures Referenced in This Episode Luke 7:18-28 Luke 7:1-10 Luke 7:36-50 Isaiah 61:1 Hebrews 11:1, 6 Romans 4:5 Romans 10:17 How can you help us?

#4-32 The Kingdom in Action
What Happens in This Episode? In this episode of Jesus Stories, Jesus begins showing his disciples how his new Kingdom should look. We meet two remarkable people who have faith that is commended by Jesus. A Roman Centurion is sure that Jesus can hear a deathly ill slave just by speaking. And a prostitute honors Jesus at the home of a Pharisee exercising a faith that Jesus says saves her. In between, Jesus raises the son of a widow and shows John’s disciples that he is the one for whom they have been waiting.
