This morning we look at Jesus' first sermon in Luke 4, and wow—it did not go over well. At first, the hometown crowd was impressed, but when Jesus challenged their assumptions and reminded them that God's grace extends to outsiders too, things turned ugly fast. It's a powerful reminder that Jesus' ministry, from the start, was Spirit-filled, bold, and deeply focused on the least and the lost. And it raises some tough questions for us: Are we making space for the Spirit in our lives like Jesus did? Are we open to hearing truth—even from people we think we know too well? And do we really depend on Jesus, or just fit Him in when it's convenient? The good news is this: when Jesus is all we have, we find He's all we need. As we head into the weekend, let's make time to rest, reflect, and remember where every blessing comes from.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This morning, we look at the temptation of Jesus in Luke 4:1–13, where Jesus faces three key temptations—comfort, power, and safety—right after His baptism and just before starting His public ministry. Each temptation challenges His mission and identity, but Jesus resists by leaning on Scripture, staying rooted in truth, and trusting the Father. The big takeaway is this: even Jesus was tempted, so we shouldn't be surprised when we are too. But temptation isn't sin—how we respond to it matters. Like Jesus, we can resist by staying grounded in God's Word, prayer, and community. The good news? We're not alone. Jesus has been there, and He gives us strength to stand firm.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Why did Christ live and die and live again? Jesus makes it clear from the beginning of his ministry, and the answer is more challenging and beautiful than we might expect. Luke 4:16-21.
The daily life of Jesus was always focused on serving His purpose of saving the lost in every city with the gospel of the kingdom of God. He would prove that He was the Son of God by healing sicknesses and casting out demons. On this occasion, Jesus heals Simon's mother-in-law of a fever, and it does not gradually come down as if you took medication, but it leaves her body. She demonstrates the proper response by immediately serving the Lord. Jesus healed many others of various illnesses and demon possession late into the night, only to continue that work once the day dawned. Let us be diligent in fulfilling God's purpose for our lives by following in His steps.

As we begin the season of Lent, we are invited to follow Jesus' example of being led by the Spirit into spaces that invite challenging choices and a clear dependence on God.
In this episode, we explore two powerful moments of rejection in the New Testament: Jesus being turned away in His hometown of Nazareth and by the people of the Gadarenes. What do these rejections reveal about human nature, spiritual blindness, and the cost of truth? Then we shift to the Apostle Paul's unexpected call to Macedonia—a reminder that divine redirection often follows human rejection. Join us as we reflect on how God's purpose prevails, even when the world says “no.”

Jesus' words are powerful. They are powerful to instruct, to deliver, and to heal. Do I cherish His words and submit to them?

38 And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue, went into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her.Surgens autem Jesus de synagoga, introivit in domum Simonis. Socrus autem Simonis tenebatur magnis febribus : et rogaverunt illum pro ea. 39 And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them.Et stans super illam imperavit febri : et dimisit illam. Et continuo surgens, ministrabat illis. 40 And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them, healed them.Cum autem sol occidisset, omnes qui habebant infirmos variis languoribus, ducebant illos ad eum. At ille singulis manus imponens, curabat eos. 41 And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.Exibant autem daemonia a multis clamantia, et dicentia : Quia tu es Filius Dei : et increpans non sinebat ea loqui : quia sciebant ipsum esse Christum. 42 And when it was day, going out he went into a desert place, and the multitudes sought him, and came unto him: and they stayed him that he should not depart from them.Facta autem die egressus ibat in desertum locum, et turbae requirebant eum, et venerunt usque ad ipsum : et detinebant illum ne discederet ab eis. 43 To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent.Quibus ille ait : Quia et aliis civitatibus oportet me evangelizare regnum Dei : quia ideo missus sum. 44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.Et erat praedicans in synagogis Galilaeae
