Cary Cox, from Mark 3:20-35. Mark combines a story of Jesus’ family rejecting him with a story of Jesus’ nation rejecting him (in the official rejection of the religious leaders of Israel). The ones you expect to be on the inside are being thrust outside the kingdom, while the ones you would expect to be outsiders are becoming insiders! We look at the unforgiveable sin and who makes up the true family of God.

Pastor Cary Cox, from Matthew 2:13-15.
Matthew quotes a verse about Israel, saying it is fulfilled in Christ. He also arranges his story about Jesus’ early life and ministry to show that Jesus retraced the history of Israel. Where they failed, he triumphed. Jesus is the new Israel, and the true people of God are those who are in Christ!
