The Gospel shows us that we love others, friend or enemy, despite what they deserve because it is according to how we have been loved by God in Christ.

Jesus chooses and sends by his own authority and his call is effectual and for our joy.

Don't miss the whole point of the Lord's Day, that Jesus is the Lord of the Lord's Day.

Jesus has come celebrating with new wine that cannot be contained or mixed with the old; therefore the gospel we believe has one application, grace.

Jesus alone has authority to forgive sins because He is the son of Man and our fundamental need is for the forgiveness of Sins.

The cleansing of the leper shows us a living parable of human sinfulness and Christ's power to redeem by taking our disease and giving us his righteousness.

The power and authority of Jesus over nature is revealed and the nature of man exposed in light of His holiness and divine power. Yet by grace He calls us to follow Him.
