In season 1 of The Chosen we meet Jesus for the first time. He finds and calls his disciples. The TV series looks at the back story of the lives of the disciples.
We’ll look at pieces from each episode and compare them to Scripture. Everyone is welcome to attend this mid week study. We’ll use Zoom for our meeting. HERE is the link.

Lesson Five: Wedding Gift
God joins two people together as one in marriage. That is a great reason to celebrate! Everyone loves a party! But is there anything worse than running out of food at a wedding? In the ancient world the embarrassment could be great if you ran out of wine. In Episode 5 we watch Jesus perform his first public miracle.

Lesson Six: Unclean
No one will touch you. If they find out who you are, they run away. You are unclean before God and man because you are a leper. In episode six we’ll explore what life was like in the ancient world for those who were chronically ill. Leprosy is still around today. Modern sanitation has made it extremely rare.

Lesson Seventh: Evening Meeting
You can have thirty minutes with Jesus – one on one. What question would you ask him? Where would you begin? John 3 details such a conversation with Nicodemus and Jesus. In this episode we get a glimpse into that conversation and see the call of Matthew.

Lesson Eight: Woman at the Well
Why would one woman draw water during the heat of the day in the ancient world? It was because she had burned every bridge, every relationship she had. There was very little left for her socially, spiritually – she was broken… until Jesus. Jesus changes everything.
