Hook: Describe a person in your circle of friends who might be clueless concerning the real person or message of Jesus.

Book: Unlike the people in Nazareth, who drove Jesus out of His hometown, these folks in Capernaum begged Him to stay. Jesus could easily have lingered to provide more teaching, but His passion for outreach pushed Him to leave in order to serve more people. Be careful not to allow people or circumstances to make you so comfortable that you fail to extend yourself to share God’s good news with others. It is the one message everyone in the world must have.

Took: What overt or subtle pressures hinder you from sharing the message of Jesus with others? How should you deal with these pressures?
