Luke 4:16-21

Listen to Luke 4:16-21
16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation Part 24: What Was the Old Testament Actually Saying All Along?
The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation Part 24: What Was the Old Testament Actually Saying All Along?
Dr. Abel Damina

What was the Old Testament actually saying, from Genesis to Malachi? Dr. Abel Damina teaches that every prophet, inspired by the Holy Spirit, was speaking one consistent message: "the sufferings of Christ and the glory that will follow." He shows that Jesus Himself grew up studying these Scriptures to discover what had been written about Him, so that in the synagogue at Nazareth He could say, "this day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears." In this message from Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion, you'll see the Bible not as a collection of separate stories, but as one message pointing to one person.

The Use of Scripture, Part 3
Pastor Mike Fabarez

Being a messenger for Jesus is the role of every Christian.  But you may be asking, “what’s the best way to deliver that Good News?”  Well, currently on Focal Point, we’re exploring that very question. Our series is called "Presenting Christ".  On this edition, Mike Fabarez instructs us on offering the clear, and simple, message of the gospel. We don’t need clever tactics or in-depth psychology, but we will need the Word of God!
