Jesus, Disrupter | Who is this man Jesus? | Dr. Tom Pace Preaching | 03.08.2026

Mark 11:15-18 and Luke 9:57-62

This sermon explores how Jesus disrupts both worldly systems and our personal lives, challenging us to move beyond comfortable Christianity into radical discipleship. The pastor uses the metaphor of "disruption" from the business world to illustrate how Jesus upends the status quo—both in society's power structures and in our individual lives. Drawing on Jesus's cleansing of the temple and his demanding words to would-be followers, the message emphasizes that true discipleship requires letting go of comfort and security. While we naturally resist change (homeostasis), Jesus offers something far better than our comfortable existence: an abundant life of sacrifice, servanthood, and adventure in following him. The sermon calls listeners to identify one area where they can step out of their comfort zone during Lent as an act of genuine discipleship.
