    “…Ministry That Heals Hurts,…” Matthew 8:1-7 July 29, 2001 Introduction I don’t know if it’s pride, or just a sense of being awed by the fact that God would use someone like me, but I like to tell people that I’m a minister.

    How to win to Christ those who have been overlooked in the evangelism strategy of the church.

    The world into which the Sovereign Savior came was DISENFRANCHISED.

    There is no greater touch than the touch of the Master’s hand.

    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

    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

    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.
