Lord Will You Make Me Clean? Matthew 8:1-4 NIV 1When Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him; 2 and there was a leper who came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.” 3 He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I do choose. Be made clean!” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 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…

Last time we study together, you acknowledged that you were saved before baptism, but then, after we examined carefully the teaching of Acts 2:22-47, you and your wife came to the conclusion that the way you were saved is not in accordance with what Acts 2 teaches.

I went ahead and asked you whether you wanted to obey the Gospel the right…

Travelling in obedience to God’s call is one of Luke’s central pictures for what it means to be Christian (Wright, p.117). The major theme that is all over this book of the bible is that the “good news” is for all, and ties all of the other themes together. It is the universal…
