Not Just Sunday: Christian Life, Following Jesus, & Daily Discipleship How History Brings the Gospels to Life
Next up in our new series, Not Just Stories: A Guide to the Gospels, we're unpacking the history and context that make Jesus’s story come alive.
What was Jesus really like, and what was happening when He came on the scene? And why does this matter to us today? In this episode, Keith and Patrick uncover the historical and cultural context behind the Gospels: Jesus's social status, education, and work, the tension between Roman rulers and Jewish people, and the various religious sects shaping daily life. Learn why understanding Jesus’s world makes the stories of the Gospels come alive in a way you may have yet to experience.
