After being nearly
thrown from a high cliff in Nazareth, Jesus moved his ministry base to
Capernaum and made it his home of operation. Capernaum sat upon a major trading
route along the Sea of Galilee. This enabled Jesus to reach many people from
all over the surrounding world. In this message, we’ll look at our mission to
learn as Jesus’ disciples and to enter the world around us with the Gospel message
of hope.

Matthew 4:18-22 "Lessons from the Land: Bethsaida"
Jesus announced his
ministry calling in the Synagogue in Nazareth. After this he leaves Nazareth
and before beginning his ministry, he calls his disciples. In this message
we’ll talk about how Jesus personally calls each of us to follow him. Following
Jesus and becoming disciples who are shaped by him is our primary calling in
life. Everyone who is called ‘to’ Jesus is also called ‘away’ from something
else. There are things we need to leave behind in order to follow him more
fully.

Matthew 2:13-18 “Lessons from the Land: Nazareth”
In this message we
look at Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth. This is where Jesus grew in ‘wisdom and
stature with God and man.’ Jesus learned through the stories of biblical heroes
and his daily activities as a builder. But Jesus discovered his identity in
God, not those of his hometown. Only God can show us who we are.
