I think some of mine came in the 17th century. What did your ancestors come here for? Was it for religious freedom, or ...read more

No Hometown Hero

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 23, 2025

Some people return home to a hero's welcome, but when Jesus returned to Nazareth, His reception was just the opposite! This message does a deep dive into the possible reasons for this terrible welcome.

I have entitled our message today, “No Hometown Hero.” This term is often used for an athlete who plays for their home team, having a major impact, like helping them win a championship. This athlete then goes off to play college or professional sports; and when he or she later returns to become a ...read more
