  Hello friends. It's shown here as expected.
• 0:16
  And thank you for tapping play. It is a Tuesday.
• 0:20
  It is the 7th of March and you and me, we are going to take
• 0:25
  another step forward through God's word.
• 0:28
  And today, we'll have a look Lot less names than yesterday's
• 0:32
  reading which isn't saying much, I think that is the longest list
• 0:35
  of names. It goes on for a while and if
• 0:40
  you think that list goes on for a while, imagine all of those
• 0:44
  Generations, God sitting there with his pencil poised over his
• 0:48
  great, scroll planning, all those generations to finally
• 0:52
  bring his mission to fruition. And this is that wasn't actually
• 0:56
  meant to rhyme that we had did mission to fruition.
• 0:59
  But this is God's Mission and we hear of Jesus heading into the
• 1:03
  Wilderness being tempted and then returning.
• 1:07
  And Beginning his public Ministry, very exciting.
• 1:11
  So come with me all the way back.
• 1:14
  Feel the dust in your sandals, the hot air and your nostrils as
• 1:19
  we head back to first century, Palestine reading together, Luke
• 1:23
  chapter 4 Then Jesus full of the Holy
• 1:37
  Spirit returned from the Jordan River.
• 1:40
  He was led by the spirit in the wilderness, where he was tempted
• 1:43
  by the devil for 40 days. Jesus ate nothing all that time
• 1:48
  and became very hungry. Then the devil said to him.
• 1:53
  If you are the Son of God, tell this Stone to become a loaf of
• 1:56
  bread but Jesus told him. No, the scripture says people do
• 2:02
  not live by bread alone. Alone then the devil took him up
• 2:06
  and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world.
• 2:09
  In a moment of time, I will give you the glory of these kingdoms
• 2:14
  and authority over them. The devil said because they are
• 2:18
  mine to give to anyone. I please, I will give it all to
• 2:22
  you. If you will worship me.
• 2:25
  Jesus replied the scriptures, say You must Worship the Lord
• 2:30
  your God and serve him only. Then the devil took him to
• 2:34
  Jerusalem to the highest point of the temple.
• 2:37
  And said, if you are the Son of God jump off for the scriptures,
• 2:42
  say he will order his angels to protect and guard you and they
• 2:47
  will hold you up with their hands.
• 2:49
  So you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.
• 2:54
  Jesus responded. The script is also say You must
• 2:58
  not Test the Lord your God. When the devil had finished
• 3:02
  tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.
• 3:07
  Then Jesus returned to Galilee filled with the holy spirit's
• 3:11
  power reports about him spread quickly through the whole
• 3:14
  region. He taught regularly in their
• 3:17
  synagogues and was praised by everyone.
• 3:20
  When he came to the Village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he
• 3:24
  went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to
• 3:27
  read the scriptures, The Scroll of Isaiah, the prophet was Has
• 3:31
  handed to him, he unrolled the scroll, and found the place
• 3:34
  where it was written. The spirit of the Lord is upon
• 3:38
  me for. He has, anointed me to bring
• 3:40
  good news to the poor. He has sent me to Proclaim.
• 3:44
  That captives will be released at the blind.
• 3:47
  Will see that. The oppressed will be set free
• 3:50
  and at the time of the Lord's favor has come, he rolled up the
• 3:55
  scroll. Handed it back to the attendant
• 3:57
  and sat down all eyes and the synagogue.
• 4:01
  Looked at him intently, then he began to speak to them.
• 4:06
  The scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled.
• 4:09
  This very day everyone spoke well of him and was amazed by
• 4:13
  his gracious words that came from his lips.
• 4:16
  How can this be? They asked isn't this Joseph's
• 4:19
  son? Then he said you will
• 4:23
  undoubtedly. Quote me this proverb physician
• 4:26
  heal yourself, meaning do Miracles here in your home.
• 4:31
  I'm town like those you did in Capernaum, but I tell you the
• 4:34
  truth. No Prophet is accepted in his
• 4:37
  own hometown. Certainly there were many needy
• 4:41
  widows in Israel. In Elijah's time when the
• 4:44
  heavens were closed for three and a half years and a Severe
• 4:48
  famine devastated. The land yet Elijah was not sent
• 4:52
  to any of them. He was sentenced, Ed to a
• 4:54
  foreigner of Widow of Zarephath in the land of sidon and many in
• 5:00
  Israel, had leprosy in the time of the Prophet Elisha, but the
• 5:04
  only one healed was Naaman. The Syrian When they heard this,
• 5:09
  the people in the synagogue were Furious jumping up.
• 5:13
  They mobbed him and forced him to the edge of the hill on which
• 5:16
  the town was built. They intended to push him over
• 5:19
  the cliff, but he passed right through the crowd and went on
• 5:22
  his way. Then Jesus went to Capernaum a
• 5:27
  town in Galilee and taught there in the synagogue, every Sabbath
• 5:31
  day there to the people were amazed at his teaching for he
• 5:35
  spoke with authority once when he was in the synagogue.
• 5:39
  A man possessed by a demon and evil spirit Cried Out shouting.
• 5:44
  Go away. Why are you interfering with us?
• 5:47
  Jesus of Nazareth. Have you come to destroy us?
• 5:51
  I know who you are. The Holy One of God.
• 5:54
  God, but Jesus reprimanded. Him be quiet.
• 5:59
  Come out of the man. He ordered at that.
• 6:02
  The demon threw the man to the floor, as the crowd watched,
• 6:05
  then it came out of him without hurting him further.
• 6:09
  Amazed the people exclaimed what Authority and power?
• 6:13
  This man's words possess even evil spirits, obey him and they
• 6:17
  flee at his command, the news about Jesus spread through every
• 6:22
  village in the entire region. After leaving the synagogue,
• 6:26
  that day. Jesus went to Simon's home,
• 6:29
  where he found Simon's mother-in-law.
• 6:30
  Very sick with a high fever. Please heal her.
• 6:34
  Everyone begged standing at her. Bedside he rebuked the fever and
• 6:38
  it left her. And she got up at once and
• 6:41
  prepared a meal for them as the sun.
• 6:44
  Went down that evening people throughout the village brought
• 6:47
  sick, family members to Jesus no matter what their disease was,
• 6:51
  the touch of his hand healed, everyone.
• 6:54
  Many were possessed by demons and the demons came out of his
• 6:58
  command shouting. You are the Son of God but
• 7:02
  because they knew he was the Messiah, he rebuked them and
• 7:06
  refused to let them speak. Early the next morning, Jesus
• 7:11
  went out to an isolated place, the crowd searched everywhere
• 7:15
  for him and when they finally found him, the begged him not to
• 7:18
  leave them but he replied. I must preach the good news of
• 7:22
  the kingdom of God in other towns too.
• 7:25
  Because that is why I was sent. So he continued to travel around
• 7:30
  preaching and synagogues throughout Judea
• 7:43
  Jesus, at your name, the powers of evil shiver and Quake.
• 7:50
  You truly are Lord Over All And yes Lord, you are gentle.
• 7:57
  You are kind and you are forgiving.
• 7:59
  But help us never mistake that for weakness because your name
• 8:03
  stands Head and Shoulders above every other name and power and
• 8:09
  we recognized, you your name and your lordship as being above
• 8:14
  every other thing. And that power, not that we
• 8:18
  would use it for Glory or power or benefit, but that we would
• 8:22
  use your power to share your love in a way that speaks into
• 8:27
  the hearts of others because that is what your true power is
• 8:32
  your love, and your forgiveness and salvation of us.
• 8:37
  We just praise you and place you on the highest place above all
• 8:42
  other things and it's in your name that we pray, Jesus.
• 8:46
  Men.
