Mark 6:1-13 | As Jesus continued his ministry, eventually, he returned to his hometown. But rather than the people being proud of their “hometown boy,” the people were offended by Jesus. Today, it may sound strange to be “offended” by what Jesus teaches. But as we continue to follow Jesus as disciples, even we may be challenged to receive what Jesus communicates to us. So, trusting that Christ’s teaching is for the sake of true and abundant life for us and for the entire world, are we willing to receive Christ fully? And, are we willing to receive God’s gifts for us through others? Join us for worship as we receive Christ’s invitation given to us, and as we are commissioned to go forth as ambassadors of God’s Kingdom.
