What would you say if I told you that there was point in Jesus' ministry where he could not do what he wanted to do?

In today's episode we're going to talk about offense, and how offense will stop or negate the work that God wants to do in your life. When Jesus was ministering in his home town the people in his town took offense at him, and the Bible says that Jesus COULD NOT do a miracle because of their offense.

This word used in the passage is the Greek word Skandalizo, which means to create a stumbling block. You can also see this is where we get our English word scandal or scandalous. Let's dive into this concept and get really curious about how offense might be blocking you from receiving something from God.

God has put everything in place for you to succeed in your life purpose. The purpose of life is not just trying to survive but to live a life that brings glory to his kingdom and is attractively different…and as you'll see today, this starts with having an attitude of excellence with what may feel like a "small assignment.

Key Takeaways:

• Offense creates a stumbling block that prevents us from putting trust in someone.


• This same word is used in the parable of the sower when the heat comes and we fall away


• Religion is at the root of the places where we take offense and it blocks the kingdom from operating.


• What is offense blocking in your life?
