Chronic Pain - Woman is struggling physical pain caused by oppression
Jesus reaches out to her, she doesn't talk to him, reach out to him
Jesus didn't need to lay his hands on her - but he showed God's affection
Jesus Rebukes a Religious Man
Religious people added laws to God's law
God's Law is like a fence, it is there to protect us
Religion turns God's fenced yard into a over fences prison
2000 years later people are still fighting over the rules around the sabbath
The Sabbath is made for man not the man for sabbath
It is a gift from God
Religious people think if you do something they disagree with then you are wrong

Jesus knows where to be tender instead of tough - we need to be discerning

Who am I in the story?

Mustard Seed Parable/Flour
One of the underlying problems that lead to religious outlook
Not understanding the Kingdom of Heaven
Jesus is revealed as a king in Isaiah high and exalted on a throne
Revelation shows Jesus as a king on a throne right now
The eternal state will be a benevolent dictatorship
The big idea is that the kingdom starts out small and grow enormously
Branches - Campuses
Nests - CGs

Cause based culture
Are any of my causes using Jesus?
The key to Rejoicing is rejoicing when others get blessed
