It’s not rocket science, but it does take an effort by us to understand the nature of God and more importantly, our role in the world. Jesus and the disciples never went to seminary although Jesus learned at the feet of his Rabbis.  He spent most of his teaching clarifying and simplifying the teachings of the Old Testament.  He made it possible for those that followed him to learn just enough to understand the Gospel that would change their lives and change the world.  Remember, it was not just knowledge that would change the world, it was “doing” that would reach the world. Listen for these three steps today in the sermon. Luke 17:5-10
