Without Honor
Manage episode 435223511 series 2548796
Ethan Linder, Mark 6 is one of the most infamous “un-miracle” stories in the Bible. Jesus is back in his hometown, and instead of receiving a warm reception, he’s met with unbelief… so much so that he’s unable to do much of his best work; he later explains this to his hearers, saying that a “prophet is without honor in his hometown.” Why – on the heels of incredible miracles – is Jesus unable to do much ministry among the people who knew him best? This sermon will explore the relationship between God’s work and our belief, attention, and assumptions, and invite us to be part of God’s ministry to those who are unconvinced by Jesus.
