Sunday, January 31, 10:15 a.m.
When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff.
from Luke 4:21-30
The “him” in question here–the guy who’s about to be pushed off the cliff by an angry mob–is Jesus. If you read the rest of the passage (and you should), it’s not immediately clear what Jesus has done to make the crowd so mad. He talks about prophets, and a widow from a place called Zarephath, and somebody named Naaman the Syrian. So what? What’s wrong with that? To this crowd, everything. Join us on Sunday as Pastor Curt explains the message that almost got Jesus killed, and why a new order that’s big enough for everyone might seem too big to some.
