Aim: To see how we are to share the gospel with those closest to us.
Exegesis: Hometown evangelism is necessary. Let us follow Christ's example of compassion (v. 1a) and discipleship (v. 1b). Hometown evangelism is difficult. Our credentials (v. 2), character (v. 3a), and calling (v. 3b) will be questioned. Hometown evangelism is invigorating. It helps us to trust God (v. 4), doubt man (vv. 5-6a), and keep moving (v. 6b).
Key verse: v. 1 ''Then [Jesus] went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him.''
