New Wine Into Old Wineskins (Part 8)

About this episode

This episode explores the challenges of change in the context of Jesus' teachings about the new kingdom and the need for spiritual renewal.

The Summons: Grappling With God’s Kingdom and King New Wine Into Old Wineskins Mark 3:1-6 No one likes change. Whether it’s a new manager, a new president or a new housing development moving in right across the street, we all know the complaints that come with unfamiliarity. Moving away feels uncomfortable, switching jobs feels unsteady and inviting new people in can feel nerve wracking. But why do we fear change when it’s guaranteed to happen? When Jesus brought forth the new kingdom, people were confronted with uncomfortable change. Some responded with flexibility, humility and resilience, while others reacted with resistance and hostility. Join us this Sunday as we explore how Jesus came to pour out His new wine, and what it means for us to become new wineskins, ready for his renewal.
