Not all of the moments and sayings in the life of Jesus can we read as a sequence of events. We have stories and sayings that we can’t always connect. But in today’s study we can see things in sequence, which adds meaning to the story. This includes the feeding of the 5,000, the rescue of the apostles while they are struggling against great winds on the Sea of Galilee, and the Bread of Life speech which motivated many of Jesus’s followers to desert Him.

Come Follow Me Podcast #12: “Who Hath Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear” Matthew 13; Luke 8; 13
Jesus taught in parables both to reveal and conceal truths. There is more in even apparently simple statements than immediately meets the eye in what Jesus taught. What for instance does it mean, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father”?
“These Twelve Jesus Sent Forth” Matthew 9–10; Mark 5; Luke 9 – Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 11
This episode of the Come Follow Me podcast relates many stories that you probably haven’t heard into the calling of an apostle and what today’s apostles say about their own special witness of Jesus Christ. You will also come to know, by tradition, how each of the Twelve that Christ called eventually died.
“Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole”, Mark 2-5, Matthew 8,9 – Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 10
As mortals we are on a journey to move from being broken to healed, and it is the Lord who is our attending physician. The stories in the New Testament are not only about the halt, the blind, and the person afflicted with leprosy. They are about us, and our universal need for his healing touch.
“He Taught Them as One Having Authority” Matthew 6-7 – Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 9
How can we become better at praying? It is a question that most of us ask ourselves as serious disciples of Jesus Christ. In these chapters from the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Himself teaches us how to pray. If the Lord says this is how we should pray, then, there is something deep to learn.
“Blessed Are Ye” Matthew 5; Luke 6 – Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 8
The Sermon on the Mount was called by President Joseph Fielding Smith, “the greatest sermon that was ever preached so far as we know.” And it was so important that it was given, with some changes, again to the people in the Book of Mormon when the Savior arrived. President Harold B. Lee called it, quote, “the constitution for a perfect life”.
“Ye Must Be Born Again” John 2-4 – Come Follow Me 2023 Podcast 7
John’s gospel is so beautifully structured to reveal eternal truths to his audience who are Church members. One story reinforces and points back or forward to the next. For instance, both the wedding at Cana and the visit to Nicodemus at night are teaching the same thing—an idea the casual reader might miss.
