1 Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue.

Isaiah 63 Jesus echos the words of the prophet Isaiah in: 16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.

Jesus Sent them out with Instructions Mark 6:7–13 (ESV) 7 And he called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts— 9 but to wear sandals…

Just too Ordinary Mark 6:1–13 (ESV) Introduction Jesus left Capernaum and travelled southward into the hill country until he came to the village where he had spent his youth and the early years of his maturity.

21 They went into Capernaum, and right away he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach. 22 They were astonished at his teaching because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes. 23 Just then a man with an unclean spirit was in their synagogue.

Mark 6:7-13 Years ago I read a book entitled “Mark These Men” by J. Sidlow Baxter. In this book were bibliographies of people in the scriptures he had preached upon and their circumstances.

Contrasting the blessings to doubting people and believing people.

Grace to you and peace, from God our Father, and from our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Let us pray…Gracious and Loving God, as we come before you this day, our hearts are full of love for you and the life of your Son, our minds are full of the things that we need to do yet today and in this coming week, and our eyes cannot escape all that flashes before them as we scan the TV, computer,…

Let us pray…Gracious and loving God, as we come before you today, we pray for hearts focused on you, for ears trained to your still speaking voice, and eyes to see clearly the path you have laid before us, Amen.

Let us pray…Gracious and loving God, as we move further away from your Son’s birth, help us in this day to remember the glow, the excitement, and the joy that came from celebrating his birth. As we come before you today in this time of reflection, open our hearts, minds, and spirits to your still speaking…

Verses 1-3 As Jesus goes to His hometown of Nazareth, some of the the people who have known Him most if not all of His life are blown away at His teaching and display of power that we know is the evidence that His teaching is from God, but that they are rejecting. The people of Nazareth are too familiar…

King Herod Heard And king Herod heard of him ; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves…

Palm Sunday Foretold by the Prophets 9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
