With those two words, Tiger Woods began his professional golfing career. But even before then, everyone in the golfing world knew about him. Many who didn't follow golf had heard of the teenaged golf sensation.
Tiger announced his start at a well-publicized press conference; Nike started a slick advertising campaign.
How did Jesus start his professional career?
Did He answer an ad in the Jerusalem Herald saying "Messiah wanted"? Of course not.
Did He call all the scribes together for a press conference to announce that He was the Son of God? No.
Did He rent a billboard on the Mount of Olives saying "Jesus is the Word--Pass it on"? Nope.
So how did Jesus begin His ministry? At 9:50 a.m. this Sunday (adjusting for the time change), you'll find out.
Our lesson is Session 2 in our new book and is called "Jesus' Teaching: The Teaching of the Kingdom".
Here's the author's outline:
1. The kingdom has arrived with the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:14-15).
2. The kingdom is the demonstration of God’s saving power
(Luke 4:16-21).
3. The kingdom is proclaimed to all kinds of people (Luke 8:4-8).
4. The kingdom has authority because of the identity of the
King (Matthew 7:28-29).
Finish Friday strong. Enjoy Saturday with your family. See you Sunday!
Loyally yours,
Darren Bayne
