About this episode
Pastor Sam Sutter discusses the implications of Jesus' actions in Mark 2 and 3, emphasizing the shift from religious rules to a relationship with God.
#Mark2 #EndOfReligion #Communion "Most people think rules are the key to a good relationship with God. Keep the list, check the boxes, stay on the right side of the line. But in Mark 2 and 3, Jesus walks into a cornfield, heals a man's hand on the Sabbath, and does something the religious leaders couldn't forgive: he claims to be the rest they'd been working so hard to earn. This sermon looks at why Pharisees and Herodians—two groups who hated each other—suddenly agreed Jesus had to go, and what it means that the gospel is offensive to both the moralist and the progressive. It's not "good people in, bad people out." It's "humble people in, proud people out." And that changes everything.This Sunday is a big one at BBCC. We're celebrating communion together and welcoming new brothers and sisters through the waters of baptism. If you've been thinking about what it means to rest in what Jesus has finished, this is a Sunday you don't want to miss. Come as you are—we meet at 9:00am and 10:30am in Boynton Beach, FL, with coffee and bagels before and after.
