This message concludes our series called SHAKING UP THE STATUS QUO by looking at the religious leaders who believed that Jesus was working with the devil and Jesus’ family, who thought He was crazy. This kind of reaction often happens when we can’t explain something naturally. The response of Jesus is classic and powerful!
In this message (Mark 3:7-19), we will be challenged to examine our own relationship with Jesus through His calling of His twelve apostles.
We go back to the Gospel of Mark and continue our series called SHAKING UP THE STATUS QUO. In this message, we’ll contrast the “old wineskins” of the Jewish religious establishment and the “new wineskins” introduced by Jesus. In our passage this week, we’ll teach on the Sabbath, and we’ll contrast “looking good” (old wineskins) with “doing good” (new wineskins).
This message begins a new series in the Gospel of Mark called Shaking up the Status Quo. In the next four messages, we will see Jesus challenging the religious people of His day. He actually throws them into a panic. It seems that they (and most religious systems) are focusing on the wrong things! In this message, we see Jesus spend time with “sinners” and break human traditions. He gives some wonderful illustrations to explain the system of grace.
