| Recording | Introduction | Conclusion |
| 01-10 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Light that has Lighted the World"...remember, Jesus is the Light of the... | World...and was with God (He was God!) in the beginning. Yes, the light shines in darkness; but the darkness does not understand... |
| 01-17 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Revelation" where two witnesses have entered concurring testimonies as to the | the truth that Christ brings us peace...through salvation -- the gift of God for the sin of man. |
| 01-24 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Living Word" which brings life -- eternal life! Yes, Jesus is the Word; He is | the Word made manifest. Everyone who hears the Word and believes -- living the Word; they have eternal life. |
| 01-31 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Father" and the Son, Christi, are one in the same. How is it that God and Jesus are the same, yet they are two persons? | Well, this "fully God and yet fully man" is notably difficult -- in impossible -- to understand. Our human nature makes this relationship (part of the trinity) impossible to fully understand. |
| 02-07 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "Food for the Soul" as Jesus said, "I am the bread of life". Jesus calls Believers to come and to feed on him which is to mean to feed on | God's Word. Only through an appetite and diet of God's Word can the Believer then grow -- or be nourished so as to remain strong and vibrant in his faith. Feed on the truth, God's Word. |
| 02-14 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Kingdom of Heaven" uses a story or illustration of wheat farming; that a wheat cropped is intermixed with weeds which raises... | the question of whether "good seed" was planted in the first place; but the farmer is to wait - for to pull up the weeks now would also uproot the wheat. What is the meaning of this story? |
| 02-21 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Royal Commandment" describes the way we are to love God. We are to love with all of our heart, and with all of your... | ...soul, and with all of your strength. Jesus may it known, that we must love Him above all other -- even more than we love our families. |
| 02-28 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The New Doctrine". What is "doctrine"? From Webster's, it is a principle or position in a branch of knowledge or a system . . . | . . .What is the "new doctrine"? It is to love the Lord God with all your heart and soul...and to love your neighbor (to mean others...) as yourself. But let's learn more. |
| 03-07 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Power of Prayer". Jesus instructs to ask in His name - and your joy will be made full. Well, this brings to mind the meaning of "joy". | Joy is not always happiness - it is not always the consequence of the moment - a good event or outcome; but joy is the sense of security that comes amid the most unlikely of circumstances. |
| 03-14 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Blessings" refers to The Be-attitudes: scripture spoken by Christ and... | ...presented in Matthew, Chapter 5, and now posted on this Website on this particular week...for you. |
| 03-21 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Treasures in Heaven" pertains to the "golden rule"; that is to.... | ...do toward others as you would have them do toward you." What would you give for your soul? Find out, by listening to the audio. . |
| 03-28 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "Faith that moves Mountains" is about the essence of what every... | ...Christian or Believer must possess; they must have faith -- trusting in the Lord in all matters. |
| 04-04 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "Patience, Mercy and Forgiveness" is a continuation of the paraphrasing of the | ...Gospel of Christ. When little is forgiveness, little love is returned. |
| 04-11 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "On a Fruitful Life" pertains bearing Spiritual fruit or what Jesus described as | "The Fruits of the Spirit"; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control are among these Fruits.... |
| 04-18 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "Health and Healing for the Body and Soul". Jesus reminds us that when something | ...when something lost, is found -- there is much rejoicing; and when one person receives Christ as Lord, there is rejoicing in heaven. |
| 04-25 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Call". What does it mean to "be called" or to chosen by Christ. In the New Testament, Jesus tells his | ...of two sons -- each of which is instructed to go to work by their father; one goes, but the other does not. Let's learn about which of each did the right thing.... |
| 05-02 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "On Being Born a Second Time": what does it mean to be "born again"? For Nicodemus, this question could not be | ...answered until an understanding was gained as to what the term means. He expressed that a person cannot reenter the womb of his mother -- or physically be... |
| 05-09 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "Disciples and Servants": You cannot allow two masters to rule your life; you will either hate the one and hate... | ...the other; or else cling to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and remain a slave to the gods of the world. |
| 05-16 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Great Commission": This was the charge given by Jesus to all Believers...to go into all the world preaching... | ...the good news of Jesus Christ; making disciples of all nations; baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; and teaching to obey all... |

| 06-13 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "This Generation": How can (or could) Jesus describe this generation; that is, the age in which we live? | ...Jesus' bidding is timeless: Come all of you who are tired and weary -- and I will give rest; for my burden is light... |
| 06-27 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "A Place for You" describes the words of Jesus to his disciples just prior to his ascension; yes, the marked difference | ...of Christ was his overcoming death by rising from the tomb and, in physical body, appearing to his followers; finally, rising to heaven with promise to return... |
| 07-10 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: "The Promise of the Spirit" is about the giving of "the Helper" when Christ ascended into Heaven. To assist the... | ...the believer, Christ promised (and delivered) the Holy Spirit that has the power to give life. |
| 08-10 |
Continuing with Jesus of Nazareth: " | ...the |
"The old magnetic-tape records preceded the eight-track, the cassette, the CD, and the latest recording and storage media (like mp3) for analog or digital information...Why, my parents depended on "the Recorder" to keep in touch during his deployment; and I remember listening to a few of his recordings to us, his children - as it was..."
"Recordings from the Recorder" dates-back to the days of reel-to-reel recorders such as illustrated to the right. The units that my parents had was a matching set (one gray and one red) that he may have purchased in Japan or overseas.
The magnetic
tape used on the real for recording was brown in color: a simple
explanation of the technology was that the magnetic tape is encoded in
proportion to audio signals discharged from the tape recorder (head); as to how
the who process works, or audio is recorded from voice to analogy signals,
please refer to Wikipedia or some other source - or call my brother who is an
electrical engineer (although he might charge a consulting
fee). 
When I was in college, my senior project involved a local operation that manufactured magnetic tape: a company by the name of AMPEX, my brief search on tape recorders indicated that the company began in the 1940's with financing from the famous actor, Bing Crosby, and the genius of the developer, Jack Mullin, who had been in the army in WWII. His mission in the Signal Corps (a unit specializing in electronics) enabled him to acquire some German-made hardware that was the first of this technology. With this base and financial backing, he began the company that eventually led to stereo, video and computer data recording using magnetic tape. Surprisingly, this analog-medium is still used in the present day because, according to my source, it offers a more natural or mellow sound recording than digital.
As the user of some later forms such as cassette and VHS recorders, the problems could include stretching and eventual tearing of the tape; the most common experience, was having your tape player "eat" a tape - which meant almost certain loss of the tape (music or movie) and possibly, lingering problems with the tape player. All that said, this magnetic tape was still a vast improvement over earlier media (vinyl records) and was much more mobile and convenient; enabling you to carry your tunes on a trip in the car or on foot.
