Jesus and His disciples went to Capernaum and on the Sabbath enter the synagogue. During the service Jesus not only taught with authority but revealed the authority given to Him by God. Those who were present were amazed and Jesus' fame spread throughout the region. If we were there would be believe what we heard and saw and receive it in our hearts or would be walk out with only head knowledge. What happened over 2000 years ago is still the same question we and others are faced with today.

So what if something that life changing was revealed to someone you knew and they didn't tell you. How would you ever know about it? You'd be left out. What if you knew about something life changing to someone and you didn't tell them? How would they ever know? John the Baptist had pointed out to Andrew that Jesus was the Lamb of God and to go follow him, Andrew went and told his brother Peter. Jesus told Philip to follow Him and after he did he went and told his brother. Through the Apostle's teaching we hear the life-changing message of God's grace, love and mercy through Jesus.

We all have names given to us. Only one name has changed the world... It is a name either reverenced or despised...On the eighth day after Jesus' birth, Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem. It was here they proclaimed his name. A name above all names ... Jesus, Savior, God is our salvation. A name to which all knees shall bow and the tongues confess...That He is Lord and His kingdom will last forever...

Do Not Be Afraid...these are often words we hear after someone tells us what is about to happen or asks us to do something. Do Not Be Afraid is sometimes hard to comprehend when it seems as if it is out of the spectrum of our ability to do the task asked of us. The angel Gabriel came to Mary and told not to be afraid for she was going to be the mother of God's son, Jesus. Mary a young girl who was not of wealthy parents or royal blood would be called to do something great.
