Summary

Jesus never directly said he was the Son of God during his ministry, so why do we think that? How do we know if it's really biblical and true? Find out from https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) as he reads through https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+20%3A41-44&version=ESV (Luke 20.41-44) to continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.7	learning what it looks like to follow Jesus by working our way through the Gospel of
0:19.0	Luke. I became a Christian in college and after I started following Jesus I immediately wanted to know as much about the Bible as possible
0:27.6	That probably makes me a big nerd, but that's just the way I'm wired so anyways I sign up for a class on campus about the Bible
