Come As You Are Series - The Man With LeprosyMatthew 8:1-4 “When Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him; and there was a leper  who came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.”  He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I do choose. Be made clean!” Immediately, his leprosy was cleansed.  Then Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”This story of the man with leprosy is an excellent example of someone brave enough to come to the Lord, despite the religious and social laws that forbade him from doing so. Back when Jesus walked the earth, “The person with such an infectious disease must wear torn clothes, let his hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of his face, and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!'... He must live alone; he must live outside the camp.” (Leviticus 13:45–46) While it wasn't a civil crime to be around people, it was a religious and social violation that carried serious consequences — it cut you off from worship, fellowship, and daily community life.This man would have known the consequences of coming up to Jesus and talking with Him. He would have known it was forbidden, and yet he was willing to risk it all for the chance that Jesus might heal him. Can we be that brave? Can we approach Jesus with all of our baggage, with the chance that He might be able to heal us, too? What if Jesus could heal your heartache? What if Jesus could heal all of your physical ailments? What if you didn't have to keep feeling whatever you are feeling?Life doesn't have to get worse before you come to the Lord. Life doesn't have to get better before you come to the Lord. This man came to Jesus just as he was. He knew he shouldn't. He knew he wasn't good enough to go up to Jesus and ask for anything.  He knew he could get in trouble for asking Jesus for anything. And yet, he knew he needed Jesus to make him clean. He was willing to take the chance that Jesus could change his whole life. And guess what? Jesus did! He will do the same for you if you ask Him.The man said to Jesus, “Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.” He was showing Jesus that he knew how powerful he was. He was trusting in Jesus's ability. He had the faith he needed to ask Jesus to heal him. Do you remember what Jesus said? He said, “I do choose. Be made clean!” Jesus will say the same for you. He wants all of us to be clean. He wants all of us to be healed and whole. He wants all of us to come to Him and let Him help change us. Can we do that? Can we be brave and ask Jesus?Perhaps some of our hesitation to ask Jesus is that He might say no. I mean, the man with leprosy said, “If you choose, you can make me clean.” What if Jesus doesn't choose to? What if we ask and He says no, what then? Asking Jesus for a healing takes a level of vulnerability that isn't always easy, especially if others have hurt us in the past. If we feel we aren't worthy, then it makes sense we would be nervous to go and ask Jesus for help. What if He says no, and then we are embarrassed that we even asked in the first place?I used to be someone who hated to ask for something unless I knew the answer was yes. I had a somewhat irrational fear of being told no. I would refuse to return things to the store if they didn't fit me or if I didn't like them. I would always have Tony do it because I would be afraid they might tell me no, and I would feel stupid for even asking. I would be afraid to go up and ask if my kids could exchange their Happy Meal toy for another one, because what if they said no? It affected so many parts of my life, and yet I just couldn't do it. It's one of those things where you have a fear, and then shame about that fear, and then it just adds up.For instance, I would want to just go ask if my kids could exchange their toys, but I was afraid they would say no, and then I would feel embarrassed. Then I would probably start to cry because that is what I do when I am nervous or when I feel embarrassed. Then I would feel even worse because I would be crying for no reason, and so I would cry even more. Then I would also feel bad because my kids really wanted the other toy, and I just couldn't go up and ask.Eventually, I learned to just ask. It is not a big deal if they say no. You just say, Ok, thanks anyway. I didn't cry when they said no. I didn't feel stupid when they said no. Actually, I doubt anyone ever said no. Who cares which toy the kids have? It is very rare that anyone at a store will say you can't return something. So, most of my fears were not really necessary. Yet, they were very real and kept me from things that I would have liked to do.I get why it might be hard for you to come to the Lord as you are, especially if you fear rejection. I want to assure you that the Lord is different than anyone you have met in this world. He doesn't reject His children. He welcomes us with open arms anytime we turn back to Him. You might think you are different because you have turned away from him or turned your back on him too many times to count. It's okay, he still loves you and is still waiting with open arms for you to come back to him.What I love about this story of the man with leprosy is that leprosy is contagious. That is why those who had it needed to be separate from the community. However, when the man encountered Jesus, instead of the leprosy infecting Jesus, Jesus made the man clean. The good in Jesus, His love, peace, and healing touch, can make you clean too. All you have to do is be around Jesus, and you start to become like Him. He is infectious in all the good ways. His peace, love, and joy spread to all those around Him. When you are in His presence, you can't help but start to feel all those things.I understand that it is hard to come to Jesus like we are and ask Him for anything. We feel unworthy and unclean. Yet, it is worth the risk. Think about the outcome. In business, they always talk about your ROI (return on investment). If you can be brave and step out and come to the Lord just as you are, the return on that investment of trust is paid back a million times over. That first step of trust is hard, and there may be other times in your life when it is hard. Unfortunately, God doesn't promise us an easy and stress-free life. He does promise us that He will always be there for us and that He will protect us and deliver us from our problems. He does promise us eternal life and all the provisions and strength we need to get through this life. He promises to use all things for our good. He promises so many things. We just have to be willing to take that first step and invite Him into this mess that we call our life. Can you be brave today? Can you ask the Lord into your life, even if you are afraid he might not come? I promise He will not reject you.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless each person listening to this episode. Lord, we love you and we want to come to you as we are. We want to be brave like this man with leprosy and just walk up to you and ask you to make us clean. Lord, help us to trust that we can come to you and that you will not reject us. Please help us to believe the truth that you are always ready to welcome us back with open arms.  Help us come to you Lord! We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

This is one of the most common clichés in our modern church culture, especially amongst children.

Do you pray? Do you ever wonder how to pray or even feel like you're doing it wrong. Prayer is asking God. Prayer is a close conversation with our Heavenly Father. Today Pastor J is kicking off a new series about prayer. Do you know Jesus prayed? Yes, even the Son of God spent time alone with God in prayer. So we are gonna start this series asking God to teach us to pray. Let's pray together.Links to Lord's Prayer articles by Pastor J - https://www.1517.org/articles/forgive-us-our-trespassesRecorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, June 29, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: James 4]

Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye respond to questions from the listeners, including whether lay people should go to seminary, how important is attending a church after being hurt by one, and whether Christians should make violent video games. They also venture into theological topics like what pronouns are appropriate for God, what doctrines do we emphasize too much, and why they all think telling kids to “ask Jesus into your heart” is a bad idea. The crew also revisits the topic of Project 2025 and whether they regret their dismissive opinions about it from before the election. Also this week—Skye reveals plans for his new project with Holy Post Media, and one listener's question prompts Kaitlyn to make a big announcement.

Episode 162 - Discernment, particularly in the context of spiritual warfare and decision-making, is the topic of our next three episodes. Father Sean Danda and Nathanael Rea discuss understanding discernment as a broad concept that encompasses various aspects of life, not just vocational choices. They discuss the sources of input that influence discernment, the common pitfalls such as analysis paralysis, and the role of prudence in making decisions. The conversation also highlights the significance of being in a relationship with God to effectively discern His will, the dangers of distraction, and the need for a stable approach to decision-making. Our hosts introduce the idea of seeking guidance from Jesus and the grace of discernment of spirits, concluding with a reference to St. Ignatius of Loyola's rules for discernment.Takeaways Discernment is essential for understanding God's will. It involves sifting through various inputs in life. Fear and analysis paralysis can hinder decision-making. Prudence is a key component of discernment. Daily nudges can guide our decisions. Avoiding distractions is crucial for discernment. Being available to God enhances our discernment. Perpetual discernment can lead to instability. Simple models can aid in the discernment process. Asking Jesus for guidance is vital.

Text UsWelcome to the newest segment of the One Truth Podcast called, "Out of Context?". Is this first episode we will look at the question of "Asking Jesus into your heart?". This is a common phrasing amongst Christendom today....but, where does it come from? Where is it based in the Bible? What does it mean? Do we have a proper view of Jesus and the Father in this? We will look at many aspects of this today, as Steve Landes and Ken Smith join Josh to look into this phrase, and the Scripture in Revelation 3:20 that is often tied with this specific question. APPAREL STORE:Click https://theonetruth.itemorder.com/shop/home/:

But because the wicked and idolatrous nature of her parents was in her, both Jehoram and the nation of Judah would be led astray. And as he, his kingdom, and his sons passed away; his wife Athaliah plotted. Determined to stay in power, she killed all of her grandchildren so that the line of David could not stand in her way. But God would not let her evil stand in the way of His promise. Jehosheba, Athaliah's daughter, hid away one of Ahaziah's sons in the temple to be raised by the priests and taken care of until he could become king!Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

On this episode of our Christianese series, Hunter and Dr. Jeannine Hanger discuss the idea of "asking Jesus into your heart." Where did it come from? How'd it go so popular? And most importantly... is there more to being saved than praying a prayer? Listen to this episode to find out!

Asking Jesus to allow his will to become our will is an absolutely essential part of Faithing our day today! If we live in a way where we are constantly seeking our own will, we will most certainly drift off of the path Christ has paved for us, because by our human nature we are drawn to things other than God's will. How can you transform yourself into someone who continually seeks God's will? The scripture verse(s) we talk about today include: Romans 12:2 Please considering following along on my socials for further inspiration: www.facebook.com/faithyourdaywww.instagram.com/faithyourday@faithyourday #faithyourdayAs well if you'd like to connect with me just to say hi, or for a prayer request, reach out by email anytime! prettyiskind@gmail.com If you are a Spotify music listener you can download my feel good & uplifting playlist by searching "Faith Your Day" and selecting "playlist" If you find this episode resonated with you please go ahead and share it out with others!

Synopsis: We have approached the last week of Lent. We have approached Good Friday. Let us remember that this Friday is a reminder that our Savior laid down His live so that our life will be saved. As we approach Easter, allow this to be a sober reminder that we are alive in Christ. He is alive. He has risen indeed. We can now go into the presence of the Father and he will hear us. Tune into these short discussions based on a Lent reading guide called “Asking Jesus” by Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson. Meet the Guest: The Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson became the senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church in 2004. He is married to Rhonda, and they have four children. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Dawson was the pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Lenoir, North Carolina for 13 years before coming to Baton Rouge. He received his Doctor of Ministry degree in 2002 from Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte. Dawson carries on an active writing ministry, focusing on Christian spiritual growth and the person and work of Christ. His most recent book is "Raising Adam: Why Jesus Descended into Hell." Dawson's vision for the church centers on Jeremiah 29: 7: “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you.” How to find the material: You can find postings of the daily readings here! If you want a physical copy of the printed book, please contact the church office at 225.387.0617. You may also subscribe to daily Lent emails by texting ASKINGJESUS to 22828.

Synopsis: During week five of Lent, we dive into the story of the daughters of Jerusalem, and we answer the question, who stuck you? For most of this episode, the Gospel of Luke is referenced for the discussions. This week is packed with great readings as we navigate through the Holy Week. Tune into these short discussions based on a Lent reading guide called “Asking Jesus” by Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson. Meet the Guest: The Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson became the senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church in 2004. He is married to Rhonda, and they have four children. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Dawson was the pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Lenoir, North Carolina for 13 years before coming to Baton Rouge. He received his Doctor of Ministry degree in 2002 from Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte. Dawson carries on an active writing ministry, focusing on Christian spiritual growth and the person and work of Christ. His most recent book is "Raising Adam: Why Jesus Descended into Hell."

Synopsis: This week we discuss the story of the Good Samaritan. Both Rev. Dr. Gerrit and Brandon, discuss the connection of Jesus being the good Samaritan for us. During their discussion, they connect the dots between the Old Testament and the New Testament with Rahab the harlot, and how the “Good Samaritan” law is almost identical to the Biblical meaning to the parable Jesus taught.

Synopsis: For week three of Lent, we move into the story about Zacchaeus and how he climbed a tree to see Jesus. Jesus looked up, saw Zacchaeus, and ate with him. A man was known for taking more than what he needed to as a tax collector. What was Jesus to do with him? We see Zacchaeus looking for hope, or a change in pace if you will.
