Encounters With CHRIST
The Disability that Defines All People
Text: Luke 5:17-26
Main Point: Jesus came to deal with the disability that defines all people— their inability to overcome their sin and be reconciled to God.
Sermon Outline:
I. The Problem (Luke 5:17–19)
II. The Proclamation (Luke 5:20–21)
III. The Point (Luke 5:22–26)
IV. Two Implications
A. While Jesus may not heal every person who prays for physical healing, he forgives every person who comes to him in humble repentance and faith.
B. Enthusiasm for Jesus and participation in things related to Jesus are not the same thing as faith in Jesus.
