Jesus' Double-play





Pastor Jim Hanna

Mark 3:13-19, 6:7-13 

Jesus ministry was composed of a combination of both invitation and challenge.

Jesus’ Invitation - 3:13-19

1. Jesus invites us to be with Him. - vs. 13 

“The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John for they were could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.” Act 4:13

 2. Jesus invites us to know Him.

 “And this is the way to eternal life- to know you the only true God and Jesus Christ the one you sent to Earth. “ John 17:3 

Jesus wants them to know the person of the kingdom - 3:20-35

 Jesus wants them to know the principles of the kingdom - Ch. 4

Jesus wants them to know the power of the kingdom - Ch. 5

3. Jesus invites them to be like Him - 3:13 

Jesus’ ministry was a balance of come and know and go and show.

Jesus Challenge - 6:7-13 

Jesus challenges their idea of comfort.

 “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 

Jesus challenges their idea of security Jesus challenges their idea of dependence
