North Decatur Presbyterian Church

1.30.22. We explore the provocative story from Luke’s gospel where Jesus stands up in the synagogue in Nazareth and preaches a rip-roaring sermon. Everyone loves him… until they hate him. Why does Jesus’ sermon, based on a reading from Isaiah, create such strong feelings? If that sermon were preached to us, would we praise Jesus… or run him out of town? Rev. Lewicki, preaching.
