Episode 15 - Year Of The Lords Favor (Luke 4: 14 - 21)

In this episode, Craig and I focus on Luke 4: 15-21 and Jesus’ promise of the Jubilee, which echoes Isiah 61: 1-4, 8-21 and Leviticus 25. The focus of this message is: you are blessed – if you are waiting for a blessing, recognize that God has blessed you and the blessing – your gifts – are within in and it’s up to you to use those gifts. Leviticus also focuses on how we treat each other (proper distribution of the harvest) and I tell a story of a young woman in VA who stole rings from her employer, but apologized, and the jury paid her fine. http://thebaltimorepost.com/couples-fury-as-jury-pays-illegal-immigrant-maids-fine-after-jewelry-theft-conviction. We also touch more on the 2nd and 3rd Great Awakening and how to handle going back home for the Christmas holiday season and dealing with people who don’t have goodness in their hearts.
