A Gospel for Outsiders - North Oak

In a story unique to Luke, Jesus begins his public ministry by reading and preaching from the scroll of Isaiah, announcing God’s favor on those traditionally marginalized. We will use that scripture to open the series and then spend time with our first story, Jesus calling the “tax collector”. This is where he sums up the purpose of his ministry by saying, “a healthy person has no need for a physician, but rather the sick”. This sets the tone for who Jesus will choose to invest in over the course of his ministry.
