From the beginning, we can see the priorities and purpose of Jesus' ministry. We also see a shocking response from the folks from the town in which Jesus grew up. What is it about His teaching that kindled such a violent and immediate response? Why were the people in Nazareth so angry at their rising-star teacher? The answers to these questions are critical for us in our own understanding of Jesus.

Pastor Jon continues our series, Church as Family, preaching on the topic of service from Ephesians 4:11–4:16. This is a critically important text to help us understand the shape of the church family, and how each of us is called to play a role in it.

In this sermon, we finally jumped into the narrative of the Gospel of Luke, with the temptation of Jesus in 4:1-13. This is a great text that gives us a unique glimpse into who Jesus is, and what He experienced when he walked this earth. This text also leads the way to Jesus’ public ministry. It comes at a particularly good time for us. As we look to a new year we will be able to see what life looks like when we are led by the Spirit.

We finish our Advent series through Luke’s genealogy in Luke 3:23-38 as Pastor Jon Rees leads preaches about “Jesus, Son of Boaz.”

Boaz is a key figure in the book of Ruth. He provides for Ruth and protects her as her kinsman redeemer. Ruth’s story is a fantastic one, and one that helps us better understand the character of God and the beauty of the gospel.

We continue our Advent series through Luke’s genealogy in Luke 3:23-38 by looking at Jesus, Son of Zerubbabel. Besides having a name that is fun to say, Zerubbabel is a key figure in the return of God’s people from exile. Taking a particular look at Haggai 2:23, we see how Zerubbabel provides a type, or form, through which we can better understand Jesus.
