James 3:13-43; Mark 9:30-37

Theme:Illusion of Christian Society to Christian Subversion-At one point the movement of Christianity was subsumed by empire. Since then being a “good christian” has been synonymous with being a “good citizen” or following all the laws. This wasn’t the Christianity Jesus preached, Jesus preached a movement of subverting power for the sake of those power would reject, neglect or oppress.
