Life of Christ 1985 – Part 5 – The Beginning of Jesus Ministry

What if everything we’ve been taught about preparing for Christian life and ministry is completely wrong? Gene Edwards challenges the common path of religious training—the “Temple experience” taught to the priest and the scribe—and reveals the radical preparation Jesus chose for Himself and His first disciples. This powerful message shifts the Christian foundation away from external rituals and vast intellectual knowledge, focusing instead on the “Nazareth pattern”: a quiet, consecrated life defined entirely by beholding and hearing the eternal Father. For four profound years, the disciples simply watched Jesus’s intimate, unbroken fellowship with God. Gene Edwards insists this divine, organic way is the unbroken pattern for the church, the Christian life, and the worker, offering the only foundational wellspring upon which true faith must be built.
