Jesus the Hometown Hero
In Mark 6: 1-6 Jesus finally returns to His hometown of Nazareth. While there He preaches in the synagogues as He has done other places. The response to Jesus in Nazareth, however, was not kind. The people didn't believe Jesus could be from God, they didn't believe He should be teaching with the level of authority and confidence that He was. Jesus didn't receive a hometown hero's welcome. Pastor Geoff encouraged us to see heaven as our hometown and to make Jesus our hometown hero. We can do that by seeing Jesus as both human and divine, as well as keeping our faith strong which makes Jesus loud and visible to those around us.
