Why? Why? Why? (Mk 2:13–28)

In this message, Noah Fowler explores the power—and danger—of the question why. From childhood curiosity to adult cynicism, “why” can either open us to truth or shield us from it. Preaching from Mark 2, Noah walks through three “why” questions aimed at Jesus—each revealing deep misunderstandings of who He is and what He came to do. Why does Jesus eat with sinners? Why don’t His disciples fast? Why do His actions violate religious expectations? With clarity and pastoral warmth, Noah shows how Jesus answers each challenge with surprising authority and gracious invitation. Along the way, you'll hear illustrations that move from communion cups to kombucha, all in service of the gospel's radical call: Jesus didn’t come for the self-righteous, but for sinners. This is a sermon for anyone wrestling with religious performance, longing for rest, or simply asking honest questions of Jesus. Come and hear how His answers still invite us to feast, to follow, and to find our rest in Him.
