Summary

Jesus loves sinners and was a missionary who went into the culture among sinners. He publicly picked, pursued, and called Levi—a despised tax collector—to repent of his ways and follow him. A good missionary: 1) follows Jesus; 2) starts a community group (welcoming other people into your life and home, as Levi did); and 3) repents, repents, repents. At Mars Hill Church, we gather (come together as God’s people for preaching, teaching, and worship) and scatter (go out as God’s people for mission and community) because Jesus did both. The scribes and Pharisees complained when they saw Jesus as a missionary with sinners; they didn’t understand that everyone is a sick sinner who needs Jesus, the great physician, to heal them.

0:44.8	And let me tell you what you're going to learn about today
0:48.3	is Jesus as a missionary.
0:50.3	This is very, very, very important.
0:54.1	It is one of the ways in which we are a little different
0:59.4	than some churches.
1:01.5	That is that we see Jesus as God to be sure, but we see him coming into
1:06.9	human history as a missionary.
1:10.4	He's coming from the culture of heaven to the culture of earth,
1:13.4	from the presence of angels to the presence of sinners.

1:20.7	he's not encouraging sin, he himself is not sinning, but he is loving
1:27.0	sinners and he is building relationships with those who are far away from him as God to draw them near, to change their life, to forgive
