Summary
In this episode of the Pastors Corner podcast, Chance Humphreys and Senior Pastor Oren Connor explore the call of Jesus to Levi, the tax collector, as depicted in Mark 2:13-17. They discuss the cultural implications of Jesus dining with sinners, the nature of grace, and the call to discipleship. The conversation emphasizes the need for believers to engage with those outside the church and to extend grace to all, reflecting on their own experiences and the ongoing need for grace in their lives.
Takeaways
- Everyone is equally undeserving of God's grace, that is foundational to understanding the scandal of God's grace.
- The call to follow Jesus is a call to transformation.
- Believers must reflect on their own need for grace. Grace is essential for both salvation and sanctification.
- Engaging with sinners is essential for sharing the gospel. Jesus modeled that in this story.
- The church must actively engage with the community. Our neighbors, coworkers, strangers need to know we see them and want to help them.
