Modeling Jesus's Ministry

According to the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 4, verses 16-20, Jesus reads from the prophet Isaiah to mark the official commencement of His public ministry.  In the synagogue, Jesus uses the prophet’s words to communicate the character of His ministry to this broken world.  Dr. T. D. Stubblefield leverages this passage as a lens to look through and view the providential joining together of Pastor-Elect, Reverend Eddie Burton and the St. Paul United Church of Christ, Carlinville, IL for ministry during their Welcoming Celebration.  In this sermon, he shares how Jesus’s words in the text provides a blueprint, a template, a roadmap indeed a “model for ministry.”
