Luke 4:12-22 || GOD’s Plan – To Set Captives Free
In this sermon from Shore Church, Jer launches an Easter series titled “God’s Plan,” focusing on the transformative nature of Jesus’ mission as outlined in Luke 4:14-22, where He announces His purpose to bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives, and restore sight to the blind. The sermon emphasizes that everyone is in some form of spiritual captivity, whether they are aware of it or not. The pastor categorizes people into three groups: those who know they are captive and desire freedom, those who are aware but do not wish to escape their captivity, and those who remain unaware of their bondage. He stresses that true hope and salvation can only be found in Jesus Christ, who offers spiritual liberation, and urges the congregation to turn to Him for freedom from sin and oppression, illustrating the importance of recognizing our need for salvation to deepen our love and appreciation for Christ’s grace and mercy. The sermon is framed as a call to faith and repentance, encouraging individuals to seek a personal relationship with Jesus as the ultimate source of liberation.
