Fr. Mike elaborates on the significance of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. He points out that the location of the Jordan River is particularly noteworthy because it's the same river that Joshua crossed over to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, signifying that Jesus will bring about a new exodus. Additionally, it's the lowest spot on the planet, symbolizing Jesus' humility. Finally, Fr. Mike emphasizes that when we are baptized, we are adopted as beloved sons and daughters of God because what belongs to Jesus by his nature is given to us by God's grace. Today we read Luke 3-5 and Proverbs 25:27-28. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Jesus In Nazareth - Luke4 14_24 - Ps Werner Schulz - 14th Sep 2025 by The King's Way Christian Fellowship - Glen Waverley
4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 4:24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 4:26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. 4:33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 4:34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 4:36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 4:37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. 4:38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 4:39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 4:40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 4:42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 4:44 And he preached in the synagogues of Gali...
4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 4:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
In Luke 4, Jesus begins his ministry—resisting the devil in the wilderness, performing miracles, and returning to his hometown of Nazareth. At first, Jesus' words stir excitement and anticipation, but the mood quickly shifts as people wrestle with the challenge of his message.

Devotion : Jesus Came to Preach / Luke 4:31-44 by Community Lutheran Church
Devotion : They Loved Him; They Loved Him Not / Luke 4:16-30 by Community Lutheran Church
In the 8th chapter of Ezekiel, the typical Son of Man, the prophet is taken by way of vision, or literally, to the temple to see the great abominations being practiced. On the north side of the house i.e. the Temple stood a great idol. Worse yet follows when Ezekiel sees women in the temple worshiping Tammuz. In Babylonian mythology the mother god begets the trinity (read Alexander Hyslop's "The Two Babylons"). Worse yet follows when the prophet next is confronted by the High Priest and the 24 orders of the priesthood outside the eastern side of the house worshiping the sun. The vision portrayed in this chapter highlights the depths to which Judah had progressively sunk in its idolatry - originally introduced by Solomon to please his foreign wives. This is an example of what the Apostle Paul speaks of when he says in 1 Corinthians 5 verses "a little leaven leavens the whole lump". In Luke 4 we have the account of Jesus in his hometown of Nazareth. Before this we read of our Lord Jesus Christ returning triumphant from his three-fold temptation in the Judean wilderness. Jesus was, as Hebrews 4 verses 15 tells us, tempted in all points as we are BUT without sin. These three points of temptation are verses 1) the lust of the flesh; 2) the lust of the eyes; and 3) the pride of life (see 1 John 2 verses 15-17). But our Lord overcame by the Word of God (Revelation 19 verses 11-16). All of Jesus' rebuttals of his temptation come from the book of Deuteronomy chapters 6 and 8. Verse 14 tells us that Christ's ministry begins in the power of the spirit of God. This verse and verse 15 cover a period of 4-6 months from has baptism and his first visit during his ministry to Jerusalem described at the end of John 2. To Galilee Jesus goes to fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah 9 verses 1-7. On the Sabbath day in Nazareth Christ begins to preach starting with Isaiah 61 and reading the first one and a half verses, finishing with the words "to preach the acceptable year of the LORD". Then our Lord closed the scroll and sat with his announcement that those words were fulfilled that day. On being invited to speak he tells them that they will not accept Jesus. When our Lord Jesus finds opposition to his teaching and says that since no prophet has ever been accepted among his own people. For that reason, our Lord declares, Elijah's and Elisha's missions were with those Gentiles to whom those prophets were sent by God. The citizens of Nazareth then attempt to kill Jesus intending to cast him from the Precipice. But Jesus uses the power of the spirit to pass safely through their midst. It was just as he reveals in John 7 verses 34, "where I am you cannot come". In the synagogue Jesus cures a man with a sick mind. Next, whilst our Lord, is in Capernaum he cures Simon Peter's mother-in-law. Many other cures follow, and our Lord's preaching continues throughout Galilee. If we follow Luke's account other than the few events recorded at the beginning, and the time of his crucifixion, we would think that Jesus didn't go to Judea. The reason for this was, largely, Christ's acceptance in Galilee and his rejection in Judea.
Devotion : Focus time. / Luke 4:1-10 by Community Lutheran Church
Current Sermon Series The Politics of Jesus: Following Christ Beyond Left and Right September 7 – October 12 In our polarized world, Christians often feel pressured to choose between political tribes. But Jesus offers a third way that transcends partisan divisions. This series explores how Christ's kingdom values challenge both conservative and progressive assumptions, calling us to a higher allegiance. We'll examine how Jesus' cross dismantles systems of domination, how his economics challenge both capitalism and socialism, and how his community of disciples embodies a new social order. Rather than baptizing political ideologies, we'll explore how the gospel can shape our civic engagement, finding unity in Christ while navigating complex social issues with wisdom, grace, and prophetic imagination and courage.

After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon.Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever,and they interceded with him about her.He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her.She got up immediately and waited on them.At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him.He laid his hands on each of them and cured them.And demons also came out from many, shouting, "You are the Son of God."But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speakbecause they knew that he was the Christ.At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place.The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him,they tried to prevent him from leaving them.But he said to them, "To the other towns alsoI must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God,because for this purpose I have been sent."And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
August 31, 2025Main Idea: The gospel is the proclamation of hope to the broken and a challenge to the forces that oppress.
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee.He taught them on the sabbath,and they were astonished at his teachingbecause he spoke with authority.In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon,and he cried out in a loud voice,"What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?Have you come to destroy us?I know who you are–the Holy One of God!"Jesus rebuked him and said, "Be quiet! Come out of him!"Then the demon threw the man down in front of themand came out of him without doing him any harm.They were all amazed and said to one another,"What is there about his word?For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits,and they come out."And news of him spread everywhere in the surrounding region.
Jesus' temptations were custom-made for the Messiah.
