They Went Out and Preached that People Should Repent
Sunday, June 1st, 2008This passage shows Jesus and his disciples on a revolution — they are out with a radical message and an urgent mission. As we look at this passage, we’ll learn more about that message and how Jesus and his disciples are getting that message out. We’ll see how people respond to this message in this passage. And as we look at Jesus and his disciples sharing this message, we’ll see that we too are both recipients of this message and those entrusted to carry this message forward to the world — we are all part of this revolution of hearts and souls!

How is it that He Eats and Drinks?
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008What is appropriate behavior for the people of God and their leaders? In our passage for today, we see Jesus and his disciples eating and drinking. We see Jesus eating and drinking with tax collectors and others who were known as sinners. And it is in the midst of his eating and drinking where we see more opposition rise up against Jesus. In both of the scenes in this passage there is opposition against Jesus and both rounds of opposition are ultimately asking the same thing. They are both questioning the appropriateness of Jesus’ conduct and his behavior in leading his disciples. This passage wonderfully shows his Jesus actions are quite appropriate, and finds the basis of their appropriateness in the gospel.
