When God calls you a ‘son’ what does that metaphor encompass? When Jesus stood before His 1st century audience and told them a parable about two sons and their relationship with their father, his audience had cultural ideas about ‘sonship’ that differ from ours today.

Have you ever asked yourself: “How does life-change begin?” The answer is, with a ‘moment’… followed by a ‘process’…. That is repeated and relived as a ‘lifestyle.’ This week we look at: The moments God initiates, The process of repentance, And how repentance is not a one hit wonder… but a lifestyle.

We all seek equilibrium… the question is, when we are thrown off balance by God, to we fight to get back to our old familiar center of gravity, or do we shift our weight and change?

So who did Jesus come for: ‘Religious people’, or ‘sinners’? The Pharisees would have said ‘religious people’, so when Jesus ‘welcomed’ the biggest creep in town to become one of His disciples, it was a scandal. This Sunday we look at Mark 2, as Jesus welcomes Levi (aka Matthew, The Tax Man) to be one of his disciples, and Jesus reveals there are only one group of people He doesn’t call to…

Jesus made no bones about it. He came to liberate people from Satan’s rule over the earth, bringing them under the rule of God. And Jesus didn’t just do this then leave taking His authority with Him. He deputized! This week we will look at Jesus’ invitation to be free from Satan’s control, and we will look at three practical ways that we can remain under the covering protection of Jesus.

This is the second in our series on the red-letter words of Mark’s Gospel, “He Said What?” This sermon considers ‘the call’ of Peter, Andrew, James and John. Is it true that Jesus approached these four men as perfect strangers, used Vulcan mind control, and drew them like zombies to follow Him …Or is there more to the story? We will consider what the other Gospel narratives add to fill in the blanks…
