    The church today does NOT do enough to bring people out of darkness and into the light. Levi followed Jesus and invited his friends to do the same, we can to.

    Who is Jesus?” His answer is that Jesus is both fully the son of God and fully human, the son of Man. Throughout the Gospel these terms are used and you find the humanity of Jesus portrayed and then next the divinity of Jesus. So from the earliest time in

    Jesus, The Son of God Mark 1:1-13 Just a few months ago, we celebrated the birth of Jesus but Mark doesn’t begin the story of Jesus there. Instead, he says the beginning of the Gospel is with Jesus’ baptism. He starts 30 years in the future from Jesus’ birth and so that’s ...read more

    Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

    Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

    The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.
