First Fifteen

Does you God really care about you?  Do you think he is willing to answer your prayer?  A man with a disease approached Jesus and stated simply:  If you are willing, you can make me clean.  Would you approach God and say something similar?

In fifteen minutes (or less) you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day.  What a perfect way to get started!

The featured scripture in this episode is Matt 8:1-4.  Jesus has finished the Sermon on the Mount and comes down off the mountain and the first person he meets is a man with leprosy who approaches Jesus for healing.  Jesus is approachable.  He seems trustworthy and this sick person has faith in Jesus' power.  How about you?  Are you willing to ask God for the healing you need and to believe he cares enough to answer?
