The First Words Jesus Ever Spoke Will Change How You See Him

In this Bible study, Michael Wilson walks through the first recorded words of Jesus in Scripture, spoken at just twelve years old in the temple in Jerusalem. You will see why His first words are about His Father, the powerful contrast between "your father" and "My Father," the one small word "must" that carried Him all the way to the cross, and the hidden meaning in "My Father's house." Then we look at the first words Jesus speaks in the Gospel of John, "What do you seek?", a question He is still asking you today.

If you have been searching everywhere for peace, purpose, or forgiveness, this message is for you.
