Sermon Notes

Throughout Jesus’ ministry, there was never any shortage of controversies, accusations, and objections. This was due to the revolutionary nature of his teachings and actions, because they introduced a completely new paradigm, upending people’s expectations and calling for a complete reversal of old habits of living and thinking.

When you stop to think about it, not much has changed since then. For many, Jesus still disappoints and offends and confuses. So, join us this week as we continue to read through the Gospel of Mark and wrestle with the surprising message of what Jesus has to say about who is and who is not righteous before God, about the relationship between the Old Testament law and Jesus’ ministry in the New Testament, and why these things matter for us today.
