First Cary UMC’s First Sanctuary Sermon – Rev. Ben Alexander – January 18, 2026
Early in his ministry, Jesus is filled with the Spirit, and returns to his home church. In a sobering moment we hear of Jesus reading scripture, within scripture, to fulfill scripture. And what scripture does Jesus choose to read? The prophet Isaiah. Jesus has arrived to bring good news to the poor and freedom to the captives. Following Jesus means aligning our lives with God’s mission of justice, mercy, and hope. We are called to serve the poor, release the captives, and live out the good news of God.
Scripture: Luke 4:14-21
