At The Meeting House, as we study the teaching and life of Jesus, it strikes us that it was all the irreligious people who were drawn to his movement and it was the religious leaders who were offended by him.
Jesus' message was that people didn't need to go through religion with all its rules, rituals, regulations and routines to get right with God. They could go directly to God and simply trust in him and allow God's love and truth to change their hearts and lives. They could be changed from the inside out.
