In preaching class at college, we were told to look for the problem in the text. I was never very good at it but I think I found one this week. Jesus bunks off to pray, then leaves town, while a queue of the lame and looney stands hoping he comes back!

What did Jesus really mean when he invited his first followers to leave their nets and start fishing for people instead? This week’s lectionary gospel reading is Mark 1:14-20.
