Jesus said you can’t pour new wine into old wineskins. When the Kingdom comes, it stretches us. It disrupts comfort. It refuses to fit inside systems that were never built to carry resurrection life.

In this message, Pastor Larry Smith calls the church to become wineskins that can hold what God is pouring out right now — not stale religion, but living, active Kingdom life. And when we make room for that new wine, our lives begin to carry the unmistakable aroma of Christ in a world that desperately needs Him.

This isn’t about hype. It’s about formation. It’s about surrender. It’s about becoming a people who don’t just talk Kingdom — we smell like it.

Passage: Mark 2:18-22

Jesus didn’t come to tweak religion — He came to flip it. And when He talked about new wine and old wineskins, He was warning us: the move of God will make you uncomfortable.

New wine stretches. It presses. It feels risky. When God’s Kingdom shows up, it won’t fit inside your safe routines, your polished systems, or your “we’ve always done it this way.”

Main point: When God’s Kingdom comes, drastic and expansive change is necessary.

New Life Philly, if we’re asking for revival, we can’t be scared of discomfort. Growth stretches. New wine needs new wineskins.

In this episode, we’re joined by guest preacher Drew Hart as we sit with one of Jesus’ most puzzling stories—the Parable of the Ten Minas in Luke 19.

At first glance, this parable can feel confusing… even unsettling. But together, we slow down and listen closely to what Jesus might actually be inviting us into. What if this story isn’t about pressure to perform, but about learning to trust the heart of a different kind of King?
