About Word Online (Videos): Series 3 - Jesus' first tour of Galilee
For most of his public ministry Jesus was based in his home district of Galilee, in northern Israel. This series describes the opening phase of that ministry which was characterised by powerful preaching, dramatic miracles and huge crowds gathering. Jesus made a sensational impact. From his new base in Capernaum Jesus began to travel around the district in his first tour and he started to gather followers, or disciples.
Jesus forms a team after praying. The difference between disciple and Apostle is explained. The Apostles would be with Jesus, would preach and have authority. God calls and sends.
