Sunday Service: The Christmas Journey (Salvation is Here) - Pastor Lana Leahey

Jesus outlined his mission statement by reading from Isaiah, declaring he came to bring good news to the poor, freedom to prisoners, sight to the blind, and to proclaim God's favor. This reveals that God with us means we can be with God, but we must first recognize our spiritual poverty and need for him. Jesus offers freedom from whatever controls us - fear, pride, addictions, or other bondage. He opens our spiritual eyes to see that our real battle isn't against people but spiritual forces. The Year of Jubilee is no longer a date but a person - Jesus himself - who cancels our debts and resets our lives.
