THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM - Matthew 8:1-4

MANY OF US WILL NEVER TRULY EXPERIENCE THE HAND OF GOD IN OUR LIVES BECAUSE OUR LIVES ARE NOT IN THE POSITION TO REALLY NEED IT OR WANT IT. 

JESUS DIDN’T TEACH WHAT IS GOOD IN THE CHURCH..HE TAUGHT THE GOODNESS OF THE KINGDOM

MATTHEW 8:1

MATTHEW 8:2 

LEPROSY AS A PICTURE OF OUR SIN NATURE 

1.     IT IS PROGRESSIVE 

JAMES 1:14-15 NLT

2.     IT IS DESENSITIZING 

3.     IT IS ISOLATING 

      ISAIAH 59:2 NLT 

4.     IT IS INCURABLE AND FATAL WITHOUT GOD 

 YOU COULD BE HOLDING ON TO THE KEY OF YOUR OWN PRISON AND WON’T LET YOURSELF OUT. 

MATTHEW 8:3

MATTHEW 8:4

-             MIRACLES ARE FOR MISFITS TOO

-             FAITH MANIFESTS MIRACLES 

YOU ARE WORTHY AND GOD IS WILLING 

1.     JESUS IS ALWAYS WILLING TO MAKE US CLEAN 

2.     GOD’S CLEANSING WORK IS IMMEDIATE

3.     GOD’S GRACE BECOMES OUR TESTIMONY
