Tyler Willis was recently introduced on October 6, 2019 as an Elder Candidate at our church. Part of the prerequisites for an Elder-Pastor in a church, according to God's Word, is that they are "able to teach." In this first sermon of Tyler's, he walks through Hebrews 12.1, 2, highlighting from this Scripture as well as his own personal journey the importance of casting aside extra weight if we are to run this race well and cross the finish line.

Scripture References: Hebrews 12:1-2

In Luke 4:16–30, we see a hometown crowd shift instantly from amazement to fury. While they were initially captivated by Jesus’ words, their hearts hardened when He refused to fit their expectations. By reading Isaiah 61, Jesus declares Himself the long-awaited Savior who brings freedom to the captive and sight to the blind. However, as John 1:11 reminds us, "He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him." Jesus does not come to affirm our comforts or meet our demands; He comes to offer the grace of true repentance.
