NAZARETH HOMECOMING (Mark 6)
I. Don't Let Your Hometown Define You
Mark 6:1Jesus
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.
