Through and To

Are you dealing with physical, emotional, or spiritual health concerns? Jesus is the healer. Sin is a sickness that disrupts our relationship with God and Jesus came to give us abundant life. That life comes through healing only Jesus can provide. 

Sometimes healing comes through faith and sometimes faith comes as the result of healing. Take a look at two miraculous healings in Mark 5 and learn from those who are made well by the Word. 

What does it look like to enter through the narrow gate and to know Jesus? What words of his are we to put into practice if we want to stand through the troubles of life? 
The answers to these questions are found in Jesus' most famous message - the Sermon on the Mount...especially when we start with the end in mind. 

Check out this sermon from Eaton Rapids Church of the Nazarene, first shared June 23, 2024. 

How many of us allow the risk of discomfort or awkwardness keep us from talking about Jesus? How many of us allow fear of failure to keep us from discipling people into a lasting and fruitful relationship with Jesus? 

When we hold back, we miss out. What's worse - when we hold back, other people miss out. The first step in reconciling this issue us to understand who you are in Christ. The next step - standing on that identity. 

This episode contains a sermon originally delivered on June 16, 2024. James' church is reading through the gospels chronologically and this is the message God gave him from the beginning of Jesus' earthly ministry.
