Texts - Ezekiel 2:1-5, Mark 6:1-13

Jesus is the prophet that was rejected in his hometown. The Church must be prophetic considering that we are the body of Christ. Prophecy is not a new message from the Lord, but it is the same message of Jesus, the message of the gospel. Christ has come, Christ has died, Christ is risen from the dead. We as the community of believers not only believe this message and share it, but it is also the defining narrative of our life. It shapes how we view the world, our culture, and what we do. To live prophetically is to walk in the way of Jesus, the rejected prophet.
