  2. You are a Son and Brother - Mark 3: 13-35 • Family is important, near or far! • Jesus is NOT speaking against family! • He IS making a powerful point on Obedience. • Jesus went to the mountain to pray and called His disciples. • This was special – he ‘appointed’ them apostles. • He shared authority: preach/cast out demons. • Disciples need to spend time with the Master. • Jesus made them his family. • Notice even his family not trouble free – Judas. • Whole new kind of family!

  3. You are a Son and Brother - Mark 3: 13-35 • Families important, but not more than following Jesus. • Then Jesus mother and brothers ‘follow’ him. • Jesus ‘trouble’ was from scribes from the city. • They outright oppose him, accuse him of being controlled or ‘possessed’ by Satan. • That’s Ridiculous and makes no sense at all! • Jesus defeated Satan - taking back his stuff. • Jesus builds - not splits – families! • What’s this ‘unforgivable sin’? • Saying God’s work is Satan’s!

  4. You are a Son and Brother - Mark 3: 13-35 • You can’t ‘accidentally’ do this, it’s intentional! • It’s not God unwilling, sinner unwilling to be forgiven! • Jesus straightens out what Satan distorted. • THEN Jesus mother and brothers show up! • They’re trying to tell Jesus, not listen to him. • Bookends Jesus Family and New Family, resistance from evil between. • Jesus came to defeat Satan and evil, that’s not tame or ‘sane’. • Scribes and human family trying to control him?

  5. You are a Son and Brother - Mark 3: 13-35 • Jesus is calling his own – a special family. • We are adopted as heirs into it! • He has freed us from the ‘tyranny of the devil’ • God is working, just have to look in right place! • Do you want to be part of Jesus family? • Obey God! • When we do God’s will we are Family – forever!
