Jesus touched the untouchable leper and healed him. Jesus still touches the untouchable sinner and heals him. Culture tells the leper to avoid the clean and it also tells the sinner to avoid Jesus. Jesus shows us that He his the only way to find the healing/forgiveness that will allow us to approach God.

God blesses us with things so we will learn to trust Him. He wants us to trust Him so we will be willing to leave it all for Him. It's a spiritual mindset instead of an earthly mindset.

There is a tension that happens in the life of a person who is actively seeking after Jesus. The tension is this: How do I know what I’m called to do? This tension is not resolved in a one-time answer such as a profession. This tension happens frequently…maybe even daily as the amount of needs seem to far outweigh the resources we are able to give. Lean how to discover what God is calling you to and how to have peace with what He isn’t.

Jesus heals & saves us so that we will in turn serve. The problem for us is that the place we are where we needed to be saved from, to us becomes a disqualifier for us being used. Our past becomes a roadblock to our future, but that's never what Jesus intended. Just the opposite. Where we are saved from is the exact place He wants us to serve from. Our testimony is intentional so that we can reach specific people.

Our enemy (satan) doesn’t have any real power against us so he uses manipulation and strategy. He finds our vulnerabilities and then tries to exploit them with lies. The only way we can combat it is through the truth of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.
