The Words of Jesus in the Gospels

The Words of Jesus—Personal, Powerful, Practical

We are surrounded by a variety of voices and endless opinions. Whose words do we trust?

In a world of half-truths and competing messages, we must learn to discern the voice of God and look to the words of Jesus in the Gospels. Jesus spoke life and lived the truth.

In this series, we will slow down to listen carefully to the words of Jesus: learning what He said, why He said it, and how He invites us to respond. When we hear and live His words, we experience true life—a life that can impact others. This is an invitation to move beyond hearing about Jesus and continue learning how to truly H.E.A.R. Jesus:

Hear • Examine • Apply • Respond
