Scriptures for this Sunday include Jeremiah 1:4-10, which recounts the call of Jeremiah.  God put God’s words in the mouth of Jeremiah.  Jeremiah was then able to speak to his people in difficult times.  The New Testament lesson is from Luke 4:21-30.  Jesus is rejected in his hometown, and in the face of rejection, speaks with gentle authority.  The title for Sunday’s sermon is, "Search for Authenticity."
