In this week’s sermon, Pastor Mark Deering examines the story of Jesus’s family fleeing to Egypt, contrasting King Herod’s notorious pursuit of power and subsequent atrocities with Joseph’s humble obedience to God’s guidance. Pastor Mark weaves together historical context about Herod’s rule, the significance of Nazareth as an obscure town, and the biblical prophecies fulfilled through these events. Throughout the message, he draws parallels between the ancient narrative and modern life, emphasizing how God often works through moments of obscurity and challenging circumstances, which he terms “Nazareth moments.” The sermon concludes with a call for listeners to embrace these difficult periods in their lives with faith, understanding that salvation comes through Jesus regardless of their circumstances
