Reverse the Curse

This sermon from the "Inquisition" series takes a unique approach by examining a question asked about Jesus, rather than by Jesus. Brock explores the profound significance of Jesus being identified as "the carpenter" by his hometown neighbors in Mark 6:1-3, where familiar faces questioned how this local tradesman could possess such wisdom and miraculous power. Set against the backdrop of Jesus being rejected in his own hometown, this sermon unpacks the deeper meaning behind why the Son of God chose carpentry among all possible trades, offering fresh insight into the incarnation and Jesus' identification with working people. Drawing parallels between the Fall in Genesis and Jesus’ ministry, Brock emphasizes that Jesus came to restore peace with God, peace with each other, and peace with creation. Through His life, death, resurrection, and ongoing work, He is the master builder who takes what is broken and makes it whole again.
