Message #2 "The Not-So-Good Son"

Marc Schelske

The second half of the story of the prodigal son is perhaps the most interesting and important part. Here we pay attention to the story of the older brother - the one who stayed home, who obeyed the father, and was responsible. Why is there tension between the two brothers? What does it mean when the older brother refuses to come in to the party? What does this mean for us? We find out that God's grace stretches further than perhaps we thought.

It’s hard to follow Jesus and be a part of what he is doing if we can’t see what he sees. Yet throughout the book of Mark and in our own experience, we realize that Jesus tends to see life differently than other people. Many times Jesus declared in frustration that his followers had eyes, but it was like they were blind. He wants our eyes to be opened. Is it possible that Jesus can heal the blind? If so, can he heal the discipleship community so that we can join him in his work?

When we follow Jesus, we love those that he loves. He embrace the people that Jesus invites into our lives and into our oikos. But what happens then? We realize very quickly that we can’t heal people or set them free. This week we look at the story of a group of friends who lived in 30 AD, and how they cared for their friend when his pain was bigger than they could heal.

Following Jesus means getting up and physically reorienting our life around where he is going. Yet it can be surprising where he often goes first. This week we look at the day or two after Simon, Andrew and Levi and where Jesus took them - home. What does it mean for our household, or oikos, when Jesus wants to use it as a ministry center?

Brittany Ouchida-Walsh

Having confronted the truth that the church is the people - not the building, or organization or programs - we have to start reflecting on what this means for us. If we are the church, what is the Bible calling us to be about? Today begins seven weeks looking at different roles the scripture calls us to. This week we examine our calling to be Jesus' witnesses, examining our baggage around that idea, and looking at the example of the first Christians for how we might go about this responsibility.

We know that being a Christian is about following Jesus, but what does that mean? It’s common to just follow Jesus as a topic - keeping tabs on what God and the church are up to. But, as we begin our read of the Book of Mark we realize that to follow in something more hands-on and life changing than that. Today we begin a new conversation about what it means to follow Jesus like he is all that matters.
