Today we hear Jesus from the pulpit. Up until now we’ve been watching His actions. What we’ve seen makes us want to hear what He has to say. So this Sunday we listen to Jesus as Luke gives us His first sermon. But be warned: it’s not easy to hear, and it’s even hard to live!

After being freshly baptized, Jesus is led into the wilderness where he confronts temptation. Luke then takes us back to Jesus' hometown. This week, we witness the depth of Jesus' humanity as well as his self-identification as the Messiah.
