Title: Triggered? Offended by Jesus (5 of 5)
Series: This Is Your Captain Speaking
Author: Scott Maze
Text: John 6:60-71
Can you remember a time when you were truly offended? I'll be 53 later this year, and I was recently asked if I'd like the "senior discount" at a nearby restaurant. After I noted all my grey hair, the waitress really recovered well when she said, "Well, you don't have wrinkles on your face."
Have you ever offended anyone? One of the church members is a public school teacher, and she overheard some children in her school commenting about her. They said, "She's been through a lot." Her husband said, "I'm 'the lot' she's been through."
More and more people are offended on social media these days. Yes, seemingly, everyone is triggered. Your breath can offend. Your smell can offend. But did you know Jesus can offend?
We continue our series in the gospel of John. I invite you to find your Bibles and find John 6 with me. At the conclusion of this message, you will be invited to come forward to take the Lord's Supper.

(For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) And he said, 'This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.'
After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the twelve, 'Do you w ...
