Part of Journey Through Matthew

Paste into a text, email, or post — the preview shows this teaching.

Summary

In this message on Matthew 8:1-4, Pastor Brandon Freeman reminds believers that God is a God of miracles who meets us in our deepest brokenness. Even when society ostracizes us or when we feel unworthy due to our conditions, Jesus is both willing and able to reach out and touch our lives. Through the story of the leper, we learn that true worship begins with humility, and that miracles are available for misfits too.

Healing and Wholeness

Overcoming Shame and Rejection

Pastor's Points

1.Point 1: Miracles are for misfits, too.
2.Point 2: Humility beckons a miracle.
3.Point 3: Faith manifests miracles.
4.Point 4: You are worthy and God is willing.

Key Points

1.Miracles are for misfits, too.
2.Humility beckons a miracle.
3.Faith manifests miracles.
4.You are worthy and God is willing.
5.Many believers never truly experience the hand of God because their lives are structured so they never feel positioned to need Him.
6.God's goodness is defined by His essence and character, not by our temporary circumstances or opinions.
7.Focusing on walking in your God-given purpose attracts genuine impact, eliminating the need to chase external approval or followers.
8.Approaching Jesus requires stepping past social risks and assuming a posture of worship before making our requests.
9.Jesus did not just touch the leper's skin; He touched what was touching the leper, showing that our condition does not define our identity.
10.The opposite of faith is certainty; faith is stretched and strengthened when we choose to keep believing through life's uncertainties.

Sermon Moments

“Many of us will never truly experience the hand of God in our lives because our lives are not in the position to really need it.”

“God is not good because you call Him good. God's goodness is simply who He is.”

“Instead of buying followers, why don't you walk in your purpose?”

“Jesus did not touch the leper. He touched what was touching the leper.”

“Your condition cannot define you.”

“Miracles are for misfits, too.”

“The opposite of faith is certainty.”

“The altar in that context was the place of slaughter. It was the place where things die.”

This Week

Shift your daily perspective to praise God for His inherent goodness, regardless of minor life frustrations or financial struggles.
Focus on walking faithfully in your divine purpose rather than seeking social media validation or human approval.
Take a bold spiritual risk this week by stepping out of your comfort zone to bring a deep need to God in prayer.
Begin your prayer time with sincere worship and kneeling humility before presenting your personal requests to God.
Reject negative labels placed on you by others and align your self-worth with who God declares you to be.
Let go of unresolved resentment and self-sabotaging behavior by embracing self-awareness and God's healing love.
Spend time praying unselfishly for a neighbor's or friend's specific breakthrough instead of focusing solely on your own needs.

Remember This

God is both willing and able to touch the areas of your life that others avoid, proving that you are worthy of His miraculous grace.

A Challenge for You

Father, I pray that we will walk out of here feeling worthy. I pray that we will walk out of here believing. And I pray that we will walk out of here and our faith would have been increased as we believe You for the impossible.
