Summary

Jesus returns to his hometown, and the people who watched him grow up can't get past what they already know about him. The wisdom is real. The works are real. But familiarity has already made up its mind. Matthew 13:53–58 is not just a story about Nazareth. It's a mirror for the towns we build inside ourselves, the places we've settled that are too small for what God wants to do. This sermon walks through four of them and how to leave.
