Hometown Hero? - Mark 6:1-13

We have all heard that when you fail just try, try again!  Jesus was rejected by civil authorities and religious authorities – now even scorned in His own hometown!  Jesus background is questioned – His family is unsupportive – His training and education is dismissed and He is accused of being a ‘carpenter’ – blue collar NOT scholar!  It is in this backdrop that Jesus summons and sends out the Disciples on their first solo mission.  Sunday will be a challenge of discipleship, dedication and determination.  This is the Gospel version of the Charge of the Light Brigade – take nothing with you – just go!

We do not seek the approval of men nor the acceptance of the World – just listen to Jesus and follow His words.  Being a disciple is always making a disciple – so this week we will review that process.  It is not a class but a lifestyle – ‘on the road’ with Jesus.  Come this week – bring a disciple or potential disciple and lets grow together!

See you Sunday,
Pastor Mike
