Sermons About Nazareth
Jesus In Galilee
Jesus taught in Galilee at the beginning of His ministry. In chapter 4, He teaches in Nazareth and Capernaum to two very different reactions. Jesus reads from Isaiah 61 and claims that He is the fulfillment of that scripture. The people of Nazareth did not believe Him, and Jesus tells them why; they were too proud. Jesus is good news to needy people; the people of Nazareth did not think they were needy. We have to see ourselves as needy, spiritually bankrupt. The people of Capernaum believed (at least in part) that Jesus was who He said He was. We need to be thankful that God doesn't just love Israel but loves Gentiles as well. We need to humble ourselves and see our need for Jesus every single day.

His Name Shall Be Called Jesus (Luke 1:26-38)
We consider the miracle and mystery of God become flesh, the birth of the very Son of God in an insignificant town through a series of amazing miracles. Jesus is the son of David whose rule will be forever. All things are under his rule and authority -- we must live under his rule and authority here and now.
