In this sermon, Luke Prentice walks us through the dramatic and confronting moment in Luke 4:14–30 when Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth and declares who He truly is: the fulfilment of God’s long‑promised good news. Jesus proclaims freedom, sight, and release for all who will receive Him—but the people of Nazareth respond with rejection. Why? Because He didn’t fit their categories, challenge their expectations, and exposed the truth of their hearts. This passage presses the same questions onto us today: Who is Jesus? And how will we respond to Him? Luke unpacks Jesus’ mission to proclaim and to bring about God’s favour, and he helps us wrestle with what it means to receive Jesus rather than resist Him. We’re invited to consider the freedom, healing, and new sight Jesus still offers—freedom from sin, fear, addiction, bitterness, and more; and the renewed vision to see who we are, how deeply we’re loved, and the life God calls us into. Will you receive Him, or reject Him? Join us as we explore this powerful moment in Jesus’ ministry and what it means for us today.
