Jesus' First Sermon

Published: Nov. 18, 2018, 5 p.m.

Isaiah 61:-17; 62:1-5
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. 

Every sermon has a text. Every message that is a God honoring sermon needs to be rooted in the word of God. Jesus is our model for this. If you find yourself in a church that doesn't use scripture as the source content but rather someone's opinion, you know that you are in the wrong place. We find ourselves toward the end of our series in Isaiah, and we come to a passage that held great significance for Jesus. In fact, it was the text he used for his very first sermon. Join us as we talk about why this passage was so important to Jesus and why it should be important to us.
