Jesus reads from Isaiah 61 in a synagogue in Galilee and begins a BIG controversy. Pastor Stoos explores the roots of the controversy and how Jesus confronts His people with the truth of what the Messiah has come to do for the entire world. Continuing to show how Luke focuses on the importance of Christ's authority [see outline in sermon notes .pdf] he shows not only how Jesus confounds His enemies, but the lessons we are to learn for our lives today. Where do we refuse to bow before the authority of God in our lives or even beliefs? Pastor Stoos gives some hard-hitting examples for us to consider. Finally, he reminds us the doing the Lord's work the Lord's way is not a burden or heavy yoke. It is a preasure and rewarding like seeing spring conquer a long winter!
