    Elisha’s Ministry - Naaman, Almost The Reject - 2 Kings 5:1-19 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 18, 2022
     | 3,202 views

    Naaman was a powerful man, with all the success one could desire, all the esteem and glory, BUT he had leprosy. The account of his cure is of value to us as it contains lessons that benefit us in many ways. It was God who wrought the miracle, not Elisha. He was the willing servant.

    ELISHA’S MINISTRY - NAAMAN, ALMOST THE REJECT - 2 Kings 5:1-19 SERIES – MESSAGES ON ELISHA – HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY Number 14 When we consider chapter 5, the focus here is on Naaman, not so much on Elisha, but it is Elisha we are studying. Along the way we will also look into the motives of ...read more

    The passage that we will look at today is the beginning of 1 Peter 1 in which the Apostle Peter calls us all strange. Do you believe that?! The Apostle Peter calls those of us who are believers “strange.”

    When we come to salvation in Christ we are made new. Yet that doesn’t mean it’s easy to just release all the wreckage of the past. However, if we are going to be successful in moving forward then we’ll need to let go of all that useless, heavy baggage.

    IT’S TIME TO LET GO OF THE PAIN INTRODUCTION: When we come to salvation in Christ we are made new. The slate has been wiped clean; we’re starting over fresh and clean. Yet that doesn’t mean it’s easy to just release all the wreckage of the past. Being reborn doesn’t ...read more
