Scripture:  Mark 3:20-35 Speaker:  Scott Meyer Summary:   In this message, the theme of interruptions in life continues, emphasizing how Jesus’ ministry often faced unexpected disruptions. Using the Gospel of Mark, the message explores how Jesus was misunderstood by both his family and religious leaders, who labeled him as insane and demonic. These labels are seen as attempts to fit Jesus into preconceived notions of who God is and how He should act.  Notice how Jesus redefined relationships, calling those who do God's will his true family, thus challenging societal norms and labels. This redefinition calls followers to embrace a broader, inclusive concept of family and to wear the label of Jesus as Lord, which transcends all other social and cultural divisions. Our call as followers of Jesus is to answer the call to embody Jesus’ radical love and acceptance in everyday interactions.
