Jesus' actions proved He was more than just an ordinary man. Could He really be the Messiah? In The Messiah, you'll see miracles and hear the teachings that dramatically demonstrate Jesus' true identity. You'll listen to the parables He teaches and observe as He casts out demons and does other works of wonder. And you'll hear Jesus explain that the work of the Messiah is radically different than what most people expect. Important events covered in this study include: Jesus teaching in parables, the sending out of the twelve disciples, the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus walking on water, the transfiguration of Christ, and Jesus foretelling His death.
