Mighty Miracles – Sandy Noonan
Luke 4:16-30.
I love this passage as Jesus goes back to his home town.
I love the way Jesus read from Isaiah with such authority.
I love how he closed the book and gave it back to the minister and then sat down.
I love how all the people kept their eyes on him.
I love how he said who He was looking straight into their Eyes, knowing they didn’t believe him.
Then I remember he left Nazareth without doing the miracles he did in other cities because of their unbelief.
As I let this passage sink into my heart my thoughts turn to my own family. Am I stopping God from doing miracles in my family because of unbelief? God show me some lessons I need to learn from this passage.
1. Be filled with the Spirit and not with selfish desires. Gal 5:22-26
2. Keep prayer as the first “go to”, not as our last resort in a world that attempts to find answers with a punch of a button. Ps. 143:1, Pro. 15:8, Ps. 141:2
3. Rejoice for the answered prayer. Ps 20:5
4. Lift up the God of righteous people not the people themselves. God uses ordinary people for His glory. I Sam 18:18-19
5. Let my family see I need God in my life just as much as other family members. Rom 10:11.
6. Don’t just talk about spiritual things at church but let it be a habit at home.
7. Be consistent at home and in church and at work and at play.
8. Be genuine, putting on masks to let other people think we are good will only cultivate unbelief in our children.
These are just some lessons God taught me from this passage. Let’s us have homes that resonate faith and belief in God because he is ready to show us his mighty miracles.

Jesus – Firstborn
Jesus – Firstborn
Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Christ was born in the image of God – a vision of the Father in human form. Begotten is defined as ‘brought into existence by or as if by a parent’. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God.
Before all creation or any creature was made, Jesus existed. All things were made by Him (John 1:3) – absolutely everything.
The emphasis in this passage is on the preeminence of Christ. He should have first place in our hearts and lives. We need to let go of everything that hinders us from glorifying Christ.
