    In the life of Christ we see desperation, faith and love.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A lady wrote a letter to Dear Abby. “Dear Abby, I am 44 years old and would like to meet a man my age with no bad habits. Signed, Rose. Abby replied: ‘Dear Rose: So would I.’” Could that be called desperation? If any woman or man is trying to find a mate that has no bad habits, ...read more

    Will and Faith Matthew 8:1-17 A missionary in Africa experienced great difficulty in trying to translate the Gospel of John into a local dialect.

    A look at Jesus’ encounter with a leper and how it relates to us. We all have leprosy, which is symbolic of sin, and only Jesus can make us clean again!

    “Encounters with Jesus: With an Unclean Man” Introduction: When I was a freshman in college I had to preach a sermon in one of my classes, the teacher insisted that we dress up for the occasion. The class was early, like 7:30 early; I rolled out of bed a little bit late and began to get ready for ...read more

    When you seek God for mercy and grace, he is willing -- freely willing -- to give you mercy and grace. Christ doesn’t need to be urged or begged; he hears us before we can even speak it! Christ doesn’t need to be paid or flattered; he heals freely. Rea

    I’ve been reading through the Sermon on the Mount in the gospel according to Matthew over the past few days. It begins in Matthew 5, when Jesus goes up on the mountain. He sists down with his disciples and begins to teach. If you go through and read what Jesus says, it probably won’t take you very ...read more

    Leprosy has been understood to be an allegory for sin throughout the history of the church. We learn a great deal about our need and God’s great love in this story of the leper and Jesus.

    Matthew 8:2-4 “Ministry Outside the Circle” INTRODUCTION When reading a passage of Scripture, it is important for us to ask the question, “How does this apply to my life today?” The question before us, as we read this miracle story is, “What could we today, in the twenty-first century, have ...read more

    A Mindset For Miracles Series

     | 7,773 views

    The fourth in a five part series on miracles, focusing in on spiritual deliverance, physical healing, and relational restoration. This sermon utilizes a series of in-character monologues to testify to God’s healing power.

    (This sermon opens with four in-character monologues. I did NOT use full costume. Just some simple prop to draw the listener’s eye to the character (i.e. a sword for the centurian). This sermon was extremely well received, and had a higher than usual attention level!) SCENE 1: Have you ever ...read more

     | 29,450 views

    The difference between receiving your miracle, your healing, or your deliverance may be as simple as getting rid of the question mark.

    Mat 8:1-3 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his ...read more

    Reflecting Jesus to the Outcast Matthew 8:1-4 September 11, 2005 Introduction As we begin our time in the Word of God today, I’d like us to think about someone we used to know that we’d avoid at any cost.

    A retelling of the interaction between Jesus and a Leper

    NOTE: This sermon was originally told as a story not preached. I was a bit apprehensive about presenting a sermon strictly as a story (I’d never tried this before) but the response I got was amazing. One thing I tried to do was make the story come alive for the congregation, perhaps as it was ...read more

    We were like the leper wanting someone to touch us and to love us when we were so unlovable.

    The Touch Of The Master’s Hand Mt. 8:1-4, Mark 1:40-45, Intro. There is little said about this leper, it’s almost as if God the Holy Spirit decided at the last moment to include this account. But we know nothing is ever done or said in the Bible that is not important to his people. We are told ...read more
