The Jesus Story
From manger to empty tomb. Follow the life of the most influential person who ever lived.
Boy Jesus at the Temple
Twelve-year-old Jesus stays behind in the temple, debating scholars. His parents panic. He says 'I'm in my Father's house.'
Jesus Gets Baptized
Jesus walks into the Jordan River and the sky opens. A dove descends. God says 'that's my son' out loud.
40 Days in the Desert
Starving and alone, Jesus faces the devil's three best tricks. He shuts them all down with Scripture.
Water to Wine
Jesus' first miracle happens at a wedding party because his mom basically peer-pressured him into it. Iconic.
Picking the Twelve
After a night of prayer, Jesus picks his squad — fishermen, a tax collector, a zealot, and a traitor. Interesting choices.
Jesus Feeds 5,000
5 loaves, 2 fish, 5,000 hungry people. He made it work. And there were leftovers.
Jesus Walks on Water
Middle of a storm. Disciples panicking. Then they see someone walking on the waves toward them.
The Transfiguration
Jesus takes three disciples up a mountain. His face blazes like the sun. Moses and Elijah appear. Peter wants to build tents.
Lazarus Lives Again
Dead four days, sealed in a tomb. Jesus weeps, then shouts 'Lazarus, come out!' And he does. The ultimate mic drop.
Palm Sunday
Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey. Crowds wave palms and shout 'Hosanna!' The king arrives — but not how anyone expected.
The Last Supper
His final meal with his 12 closest friends. Bread and wine become his body and blood. One of them is about to betray him.
Gethsemane
'Take this cup from me. But not my will — yours.' In crushing sorrow, Jesus chooses obedience over escape.
The Ascension
Jesus leads his disciples to a hillside, blesses them, and rises into the sky. Two angels say 'he'll be back.'
Jesus Feeds 4,000
Different crowd, same compassion. A few loaves, a few fish, thousands fed. Bread becomes a recurring theme.
Bread of Life
After the miracle meal, Jesus says 'I AM the bread of life.' The crowd wanted food. He offered himself. Many walk away.
Peter's Big Confession
'Who do you say I am?' Peter nails it — 'You're the Christ.' Then Jesus drops the first prediction of his death.
Jesus Predicts His Death
Jesus tells the disciples exactly what's coming — betrayal, death, resurrection. They don't understand. He says it three times.
The Festival Showdown
Jesus shows up at the Feast of Tabernacles and the crowds are split — prophet, deceiver, or Messiah? Tension is thick.
Teaching Them to Pray
'Lord, teach us to pray.' Jesus gives them the simplest, most powerful prayer in history. Then tells a story about persistence.
Caesar's Coin
They try to trap Jesus with a political question. He asks for a coin. 'Give to Caesar what's Caesar's, and to God what's God's.' Mic drop.
Faith, Figs & Loaded Questions
Religious leaders fire trap after trap at Jesus. He answers every one and fires back harder.
Marriage & the Afterlife
The Sadducees think they've got Jesus with a brain teaser about marriage after death. He shuts it down in one sentence.
The Greatest Commandment
'Love God with everything. Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and prophets hang on these two lines.
Whose Son Is the Messiah?
Jesus asks the Pharisees a riddle about David's son. Nobody can answer. He reveals the Messiah is bigger than they imagined.
