Introduction
Halls should be back from Tyler’s basic training graduation.
What is the purpose or objectives of basic training???
New skills, new perspective (understanding and even culture), new team (unity), new role/mission.
Can you effectively accomplish the mission without basic training?
What happens?
Recent Bible reading - David facing Goliath, King Saul tried to give David armor and sword...
Jesus also recruited soldiers, led them through basic training, and sent them on mission.
The church in America tries to recruit and immediately deploy without adequate basic training.
Today we will observe Jesus in the early part of His ministry and learn how He developed soldiers.

v.41 ministry of compassion, healing,
Side note on ritual clean and holy: (if time)heals the man with leprosy.
Clean = ritually clean, holy.
Jesus touched the man who was unclean and would have made Jesus unclean.
The result, though, is that the power, authority, and holiness of Jesus cleansed the man’s leprosy and told him to go to the priest.
45 impact is that Jesus had to stay outside the towns because of the crowds of people

The bigger news here is not the healing of the paralyzed guy, although the story is amazing.
Two new things happen here.
First, Jesus forgives sins.
Before Jesus heals the man He forgives the man’s sins.
Up to this point Jesus is preaching the Kingdom is near, repent, believe the good news.
Another authority sign.
Second, the scribes are present and begin to oppose Jesus.
They take issue with Him forgiving sins.
Only God can do that.
Jesus then heals the man as a sign/demonstration of power and authority.
This caused the people to glorify God.
v.14 Jesus calls Levi – Follow Me.
Significance – only these 5 disciples are listed by name in Mark.
Showing a sinner, tax collector.
Jesus is out along the sea again teaching the crowds.
V.14 the same call Follow Me.
Now the scribes are there again and complaining that this rabbi is eating with sinners, unclean people.
v.17 Jesus makes the statement that He came for the sinners, not those who (think they) are righteous.
