We can learn many things from the beginning of Jesus' ministry:

- The Kingdom of God is for ALL who believe

- Ministry includes proclamation/evangelism, justice and compassion

- We must both "go out" AND "attract in"

- We must minister without discrimination

- We need the power of the Holy Spirit to do this
