2 Samuel 24:2,9-17; Ps 32; Mark 6:1-6

Thinking about
prophets

Have you experienced a prophet from your own country? Someone you knew well giving you a message you didn’t want to hear? Sometimes we are willing to listen to a stranger with a big reputation when he or she tells us to change our lives, but ignore the person in our church community who feels called to pass on a message for us. If we have a message for someone we know, will we hold on to it because we fear not being accepted as a prophet?
