In Jesus’ Words

If Jesus is who he said he was, then the only thing that truly matters are His words. What did Jesus really say? Take a few minutes and tune out all the noise and demands of our society, disregard the politics and the debates, and just read Jesus’ words. You will be amazed at what he said.

Four men – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – wrote the only recorded words we have from Jesus. Join me as we look only at Jesus’ words in the Bible to discover what Jesus said to us, and what he most wants us to know… about life, about eternity, and about truth.

MATTHEW – friend and follower of Jesus

MARK – disciple of Peter

LUKE – physician and historian (coming soon)

JOHN – close friend and follower of Jesus (coming soon)
