June 6, 2021 – 2nd Sunday after Pentecost


In Mark 3:20-35, the crowds decide Jesus has lost his mind and his family steps in for an intervention. But Jesus wants to know what makes them think they know what’s insane and what’s sane. Could we ask ourselves the same thing? What are the corporate delusions of ego and culture that we have all agreed to engage in? Can Jesus’ truth set us free? Maybe. But as Flannery O’Connor once said, one thing we know for sure is that it will make us odd. Listen as Pastor Melanie Vaughn-West reflects on this passage.
