The Needy and the Need-Nots | The Gospels | Luke 4:14–30

What if the deepest dividing line in humanity isn’t between the haves and the have-nots? What if it’s between the needy and the need-nots? And how do we know which one we are? In today’s episode, Jeff explores Luke 4:14–30 and shows how Jesus was rejected by those who didn’t sense their need, but welcomed by outsiders who did.
