NAZARETH HOMECOMING (Mark 6)

I. Don't Let Your Hometown Define You

^{Mark 6:1}Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. ²When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. ³"Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that he even does miracles! Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?"

II. Don’t Define Yourself by Your Hometown

And they took offense at him. ⁴Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." 

III. Shake The Dust Off Your Feet

⁵He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. ⁶And he was amazed at their lack of faith.   ^{Matthew 10:14}  If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.
