Thanks to all who have been praying for Joanne. I’ll keep you updated on our FB group and Realm.

This Sunday we’ve come to something that Jesus is well known for … His healing of those who are physically suffering. Jesus meets several people that others don’t want to be around. And while He heals many people in the gospels, we’re going to look at two in particular – one leper, one paralytic.

We’re continuing our series on the life of Christ, Walking with Jesus: A Year with the Savior.  We’re back in Luke this week (Luke 5:12-26) with a story of two people who think their life is over … and for all practical purposes, it is. Until they meet Jesus. Since these are some of my favorite stories, we’re going to look at them through more of a story format. You’ll need to bring your imagination!

Then we’re going to look at what we have in common with them. I know, we have no lepers in church (at least that I know of), but have you ever met someone who was considered a social leper, a social outcast, by others? Have you ever met someone who seemed so overwhelmed by life that they had a hard time functioning, trouble making decisions, an inability to change … almost as if they were paralyzed? I’ve met those people, you probably have too. Jesus certainly did. And we have much to learn from Him. See you Sunday, Dr. Dave
