Sermon slides for February 2: Busting boundaries
By: Pastor Dave | February 2, 2025 | sermon, sermon slides
The sermon slide post experiment continues! As I wrote here last week, these sermon slide posts are mostly designed for those participating in our worship experience online and thus cannot see the slides we show to enhance the message. Today’s text is from chapter 4 of the Gospel According to Luke.
As we read this fairly famous story of Jesus preaching in his hometown, multiple places are mentioned and multiple stories are referenced. Most of us–myself included–don’t immediately know the significance of those places or stories. That’s what this week’s slides are for. As we read and discuss we discover God is in the boundary-busting business.
An overview of Israel in the time of Jesus:

Narrowing in on the first two places named: Nazareth and Capernaum.

Moving north to show the other two places mentioned in connection with older biblical stories: Sarepta in Sidon and Syria.
