The story of Jesus calling His first disciples (in Luke 5:1-11) will challenge us to pledge our allegiance to the founder of our faith: Jesus Christ. In Him, we become part of a new people, a new nation, called to fish for people and point them toward saving faith in Christ.

Luke 4:31-44 will tell us that Jesus has authority. What does that mean? He had power that impacted His teaching, His encounters with demons, and His healing. Yet, Jesus emphasized His teaching ministry as the main purpose of His ministry. His authority is still with us today through the presence of His Holy Spirit and His Word.

In this sermon we'll look at the story of Jesus being rejected by His hometown in Luke 4:16-30. This passage shows us that Jesus has good news for those in low places and for outsiders. But that good news may be rejected by those who do not like how Jesus changes the status quo of this world.

In this sermon we will look at the temptation of Jesus from Luke 4:1-15. Unlike the first man, Adam, Jesus did not fall to sin. He shows us how to resist temptation through trusting the Word, putting God first, and interpreting the Bible in a way that honors the Lord. Jesus' victory over sin and His death on our behalf makes it possible for us to know God and follow Him.
