I'm Surprised

Dharius Daniels· Host0:00

[audience applauds] Let's go to the Word, family. Mark chapter six, beginning at verse one says this, "Then Jesus left there and went to his hometown. He was accompanied by his disciples. And when Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. 'Where did this man get these things?' they asked. 'And what's this wisdom that's been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he's performing? Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?' So they took offense at him. And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honor, except in his own town, among his own relatives, and in his own home.'" Look at this, "He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith." Oh, Lord. I want to stop the reading of scripture there and talk from this subject in our time together, family. Very simply, I'm surprised. [audience cheers] Clap your hands, every location. [audience applauds] I'm surprised. I want to start this sermon with a statement that may seem simple, but it is significant as it relates to what I'm going to attempt to share in our sermon today. The statement for the note-takers is on the screens. Missing something you think you should have caught isn't always a sign of deficiency. Sometimes it's a sign of humanity.
