“And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.”Matthew 13:57-58 ESV

All,
This sticks out because Matthew says Jesus didn’t do many works there because of their unbelief. You would think he would do the opposite, but it’s seems consistent with telling the Disciples to shake the dust off their feet. Jesus had a purpose to glorify God and wanted people to accept it, but doesn’t them if they chose not to. Please pray that we and our friends speak the truth in love, but not be concerned with outcomes beyond that. Please pray for Danny Parker as he leads CLC in Pittsburgh.
