Mark 2 1 17 ~ An Inclusive Kingdom

Text: Mark 2:1-17
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Christianity at its core is not about thinking the right things about God or knowing our Bibles inside and out, but about following Jesus. The earliest believers were called Christians because they looked and acted like little Christs, little Jesuses. In Mark 2, we learn this kingdom of God Jesus proclaims will be more inclusive and diverse than anyone first thought. All the disciple’s categories of who is in the kingdom and who is out get tossed out the window when Jesus calls a hated tax collector to follow as well. This kingdom will stretch us to love and understand those our world tries to paint as enemies.
