Jesus, in submission to his parents, lived life growing in wisdom and strength and the grace of God was upon Him.Then Luke gives us a record of Jesus as a child of 12 going to Jerusalem for the passover. And instead of returning home to Nazareth, He stayed in Jerusalem ministering His Father's business in the temple. Jesus astounded the religious leaders with His questions and answers. But Mary and Joseph were distressed, thinking He was lost in the city, they found Him in temple. Jesus was the center of attention from both his parents and the religious leaders.Jesus should be the focus of our attention, affection and faith. Here is Dr. Mitchell, Luke 2:39, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.
Bible study given at East Frankfort Baptist Church on June 10, 2026.
In this study, we now meet a man by the name of Simeon who was promised by God that he would not die until he had seen the Lord's Messiah, that is, Jesus as a baby. The Holy Spirit was upon him. This man also blessed God with a song.His song revealed that this child, Jesus, the Lord's Messiah, would be a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for the glory of God's people Israel. Our Lord is the focus of his song. Does your song focus on and feature the Lord Jesus preeminently? It blesses God who is our audience.Not only Simeon but also Anna, a widow, came into the temple and giving thanks to God, began speaking to all those around her about this Jesus.Let's turn to Lk.2:25 with Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.
Our study in the Gospel of Luke continues in chapter 2 starting in verse 11 with the shepherd's visit to the place where Jesus was born. As we have heard, they were divinely directed there by the angel who announced to them the birth of the Savior and how to identify him. They didn't waste any time in traveling into Bethlehem to see this baby and they found Him lying in a manger, just as the angel had told them. God's word is always true.This visit caused Mary to treasure up and ponder all these things in her heart. Luke also goes on to write about Jesus' presentation in the temple where He is formally called by the name “Jesus” which the angel previously told both Mary and Joseph.With Jesus' birth on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast here is Dr. Mitchell, Luke 2:11-25.
Each Christmas we hear and read of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this study, Luke 2:1, we hear of Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem where her child would be born into a humble family in a humble location and first seen by a few humble shepherds. As we begin, Dr. Mitchell explains a bit of background to this time frame when Christ was born, stating that God is always on time. The king on a throne of authority in a country far away from Israel was used of God to orchestrate the circumstances for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.The book of Daniel states “the Most High is ruler over all nations.” (Dan.5:21)But, Jesus is born and laid in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.Here is Dr. Mitchell with Jesus' birth on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast beginning in Luke 2:1.
Luke 2:41-49 New International Version The Boy Jesus at the Temple 41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” 49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”[a]See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Luke 2:25-40 New International Version 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss[a] your servant in peace.30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.” 33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” 36 There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[b] She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. 39 When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Luke 2:46-52 New International Version 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” 49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”[a] 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them. 51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
At 12 years old, Jesus was found in the temple sitting among the teachers and discussing the things of the Father. As our example he shows us how to be “about our Father’s business” or “in the things of our Father,” by being where He wants us to be, thinking about what He wants us … Continue reading In the Things of My Father – Luke 2:41-49 (6/7/26 a.m. sermon)
Nothing God does is accidental or reckless. Everything He does is filled with intentionality, especially when it comes to His plans for those who trust Him. God's faithfulness in the past reminds us that we can trust Him with the future. When we understand that He always accomplishes His purposes, it changes the way we view every challenge, every uncertainty, and every promise He has made to us. This is what we have to look forward to.

Luke 2:21-35 New International Version 21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived. Jesus Presented in the Temple 22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”[a]), 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”[b] 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts.

This might touch a nerve.... But is it possible that your family is a barrier to following Jesus in your calling? Joanne and Lucas return to unpack what it looks like to honor your family and follow God's call at the same time. Drawing from Luke 2 and Jesus' experience with his own family, we'll explore how misunderstanding doesn't mean opposition, how to be faithful to God when family pushes back, and how to invite your family into the discernment process without handing them a veto. If you feel at odds with your family about your calling, this episode is for you!RELATED EPISODESFear as a Barrier to Calling (E214) - Apple, Spotify, YouTubeRelating to Parents After Moving Out (E106) - Apple, SpotifySTAY IN TOUCHSocials: @afterivpodVisit our Website ★ Support this podcast ★
Luke 2:8-14 New International Version 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Luke 2:1-9 New International Version The Birth of Jesus 2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elder Josh Wines brings us back to the Gospel of Luke. We will discover more about who Jesus is through Luke 2:41-52 and its description of Jesus' boyhood visit to the temple in Jerusalem.
Prayer is essential for spiritual strength, yet many struggle with consistency. Through the examples of Paul and Silas praying with joy in prison, Anna's sacrificial devotion to prayer and fasting, and Epaphras wrestling in prayer for others, we learn three powerful approaches to prayer. Paul shows us how to maintain hope through prayer even in impossible circumstances. Anna demonstrates the discipline of consistent prayer and fasting over decades. Epaphras teaches us to intercede with strength for others, making common people uncommonly powerful through prayer.

Panic Over - Luke 2:41-52 - Simon Cansdale (9am) by Christ Church Winchester
Sunday morning - Bro. Dalton Harrington
Sometimes it's hard to believe that Jesus was a 12-year-old, but he was. And that Mary and Joseph were the parents of a 12-year-old Jesus. What can we learn from them? What can we learn from him? And how do we learn to connect to our true Father in Heaven?
