Familiarity Cannot Presume – Daughters of Promise – February 20

Jesus’ message to his hometown audience in Nazareth highlights the importance of recognizing that prophets are not welcome in their own community, and instead, God’s Spirit goes where it is needed, often reaching out to Gentiles. By examining Jesus’ examples from history, such as Elijah’s ministry to a widow in Sidon and Elisha’s healing of Naaman the Syrian, we can gain insight into the true nature of discipleship and the value of loving Jesus for who He is, not just what He does.
