Jesus reveals his divine mission to bring hope to the broken, freedom to the captive, sight to the blind, and restoration to the oppressed—a Spirit-empowered ministry addressing both physical and spiritual needs. We'll explore how Christ's model becomes our calling, transforming us from mere observers into active participants in his redemptive work.

We cover two episodes from Jacob's life as we near the end of our study. Jacob finally meets Esau, and the results are quite surprising.
