Have you ever received “bad advice” from your relatives? Jesus did! Sadly, their advice was really bad. If Jesus had followed through on their advice, I wouldn’t be writing to you and salvation would never have come to the world. This week, Jesus teaches us how to deal with bad advice from relatives. This is also the last Sunday of Epiphany; we begin the season of Lent next week. In case you missed it, you can find the service from last week by clicking HERE.
