Authority with Compassion, Part A

In the first part of this sermon, “Authority with Compassion,” we come face-to-face with Jesus’ bold touch of a man full of leprosy—an act that reveals both His unmatched power and tender mercy. Luke 5:12–16 shows us that Jesus doesn’t shy away from our brokenness; He steps into it with healing authority. Whether we’re empty or full, the Spirit uses it all to deepen our understanding of Christ. And the clearer we see Him, the more we’re moved to follow Him with wholehearted devotion.
