His holy word, Mark chapter 2 and verse number 13.

says then he speaking of Jesus, went out again by the Sea and all the multitude came to him and taught them, and he taught them As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of alphaeus sitting at the tax office and he said to him, follow me.

So he arose and follow them.

Now it happened as he was dying and Levi's house, that many tax collectors, and sinners also, sat together with Jesus and his disciples for there were many and they followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to his disciples, how is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?

when Jesus heard it he said to them those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick, I did not come to call the righteous but Sinners to repentance.

Let's pray together.

Are Great and Mighty father, or we are humbled.

Follow that.

Those who have been saved by the grace.

By your grace can say that.

Jesus is a friend of sinners.

And to that we give our utmost.

Thanks and praise.

Father, I pray as we go through this particular passage of scripture that you would open our eyes to its truth.

I pray that you would Bob is Spirits.

Apply these truths are our to our hearts and that's we would leave here differently.

Then how we came in.

Fallback, pray that if anyone here today has never been saved.

Father, I pray for them.

I pray that the Holy Spirit would speak to their heart and soul and draw them to your son Jesus today.

Your father, I pray that we would as Christians be motivated.

To witness and a van to tell others about the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The truly, only good news that mankind will ever hear.

Father, we love you.

We ask all of these things in Christ name, all of God's people said, amen.

The title of the message this morning is a dinner with Sinners and that's exactly what we see with Jesus CD with a tax collectors and the sinners in Levi's house.

However, an alternative to that title could be Christ's Kingdom expanse, one Center at a time because that's exactly what's Happening Here.

Christ has initiated his kingdom, he is here, he is preaching and people are responding.

And each time.

A person responds by faith, the kingdom of God expands and love it.

It is still expanding to this day because Jesus is still saving centers in the that were grateful to, that would give him praise.

But here in our text is just another personal illustration of the good news.

It's another personal illustration of what was started out for us and Mark, 1:1 says the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Son of God I remember the word gospel means what the good news of Salvation.

It's just not good news.

It's the good news of Salvation that Jesus Christ has come to save sinners from their sin.

I hope you hear this morning and you are carrying a huge burden of seeing if you're carrying a load of guilt and there is good news for you.

You're seeing can be forgiven, your guilt can be removed.

Just to give you a quick recap.

What we looked at last week.

Jesus here has just returned to capernium.

Mark, 2:1 tells us this.

He just returned from Galilee.

He was there a few days preaching with his disciples and now you enter back into the city of two per diem and he enters into a house more than likely.

It is Peter's mother-in-law's home and ask me, is there?

The crowd is just standing room.

Only, there's, there's no way anyone else can get inside the home to hear Jesus, teach them.

but yet, we find in that text for men, Who buys State cut a hole in a roof in this home?

Cut a hole in the roof and from there, they let down a paralytic, man, so that man could get to Jesus to heal heal him.

What Jesus does more than just heal his physical body.

Jesus heals his spiritual saw, Jesus there.

And he cries out to that man, that paralytic and says, son, your sins are forgiven.

And when Jesus said that the Pharisees, you know, you would think the religious leaders will be excited.

That one's seeing has been forgiven know.

They reason within themselves that this was somehow blasphemy.

Because they knew that the only person who had the power to forgive sin with God.

And so, we're Jesus for giving this man calling this man sin forgiven.

He was an Essence saying that I am God.

And it is here that Jesus Christ says that he is the son of man.

One given Divine Authority from Heaven to forgive sons of men, their sins on Earth.

and so if Jesus came from Heaven to Earth to forgive sins, Then the question should be, what should we expect him to be doing well?

Seeking, Sinners, right, seeking Sinners.

And that's what we find Jesus doing here.

And Mark chapter 2, verses 13 through 17.

And when you think about it, forgiveness of sin is really the heart of the entire New Testament.

It is the heart of the entirety of the New Covenant, the day of Grace.

We are living in a day.

When we can be forgiven of our sin, and we're grateful for that.

But this is what we see in our text, Jesus.

The true servant King.

We see how he befriends the most wretched of Sinners.

The outcast, the down-and-out.

Jesus is a friend to you and me who are also outcasts.

who are also Sinners when we compare ourselves and see ourselves to the Holiness and righteousness and purity of God, so again, we see here, Christ Kingdom expanding one Center at a time.

What?

How does the kingdom expand will notice.

First of all, the routes of the Kingdom, the route of the kingdom is what it is.

Preaching it is preaching.

This is how the kingdom, expand.

Notice this in verse 13.

Then he went out again by the sea in all the multitude came to him and he taught them.

So Jesus is preaching here.

The gospel of the kingdom of God.

And 1:14 through 15.

We see what that message was.

He was calling on them to repent and believe the gospel.

And hear Jesus, preached.

When he preached, he did.

So with authority, he did so, with Divine Authority.

Remember, Jesus and chapter 1, his authoritative teaching, and preaching in the synagogue there capernium in, and he was preaching in such a manner that the people a say, this man speaks different differently than the other.

Rabbis This man speaks with authority, he is he speaks with Divine Authority, he was speaking on the authority of his preceding rabbis.

He was speaking on the authority of God.

We also notice that the ministry of preaching, was the purpose of why Jesus came, that's what he said.

And 1:38.

Remember when the city of capernum was looking for Jesus, his Fame was growing.

His popularity was growing.

Yeah, just finished a night of healing, all sorts of diseases, and, and casting out, demons the next morning, the city of go partying was looking for him and the disciples were excited because of the messiah's popularity.

But instead of going to capernium to those people Jesus said, hey, I must go to Galilee and preach there for that is why I came So Jesus.

Again, he preaches in Galilee, he comes back Mark 2:1 to capernium.
