2 | The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah

Walking through the opening movements of Jesus’ story — the formation of the Gospels, the significance of His genealogies, the miracle of His birth, and the deep messianic hunger that shaped Israel in the first century. From the announcement to Mary, to Simeon and Anna’s prophetic recognition, to the visit of the magi and Herod’s violent response, these readings reveal a world longing for deliverance and a Messiah arriving in ways no one expected. The session also traces the early ministry of John the Baptist, the baptism and temptation of Jesus, the calling of His first disciples, the wedding at Cana, the cleansing of the temple, and Jesus’ profound encounters with Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman. Across every scene, the authority of Jesus rises, the activity of the Spirit is unmistakable, and the expectation of the Kingdom grows clearer.
