Matthew 8:1-17

December 3, 2023

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan asks: “What are you thankful for this Christmas?” In this series, we will “open” four Christmas gifts and the first gift is “taking”. In the passage, we read about 4 stories of healing. Pastor teaches that Jesus heals by taking. So we need to: 1- Go to Jesus, 2 – Bring them to Jesus, and 3 – Rejoice and give thanks. We are living between the Garden of Eden and heaven. God is waiting and we are waiting for Christ to return. He is giving us time to repent and witness to others.
