Wesley Church Sermons

It was all going so well....until it wasn't.  In Luke 4, Jesus first public teaching occurs in the shadows of the homes and streets where he grew up, but the welcome turned sour after Jesus flips the script on familiar texts from Isaiah.  God's love, favor, and salvation include more people than just us?   Why was this a surprise?  Why did Nazareth reject the hometown hero, Jesus?  Why was it that those who knew Jesus really didn't know Jesus?
