7/30/2023- Ep 15.2: Pictures of Power

As Matthew 8 begins, the Sermon on the Mount ends and becomes the “sermon on the move”. Three portraits are presented of Jesus and his power to the powerless, as he heals a leper, a Gentile’s slave, and a Jewish woman. The healings are miraculous, but we are drawn into these portraits to see a bigger picture. Jesus' work upon the cross unleashes a powerful gospel that brings sinful outsiders into the kingdom.1. Jesus heals three unlikely characters in Matthew 8. How might this impact those with whom you seek to share the gospel?2.
