Healing from Sin3
Look and Live
By C.H. Spurgeon0NUM 21:8JHN 3:14C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the powerful message of looking to Jesus for healing from the sin that afflicts us, drawing a parallel between the brazen serpent lifted by Moses and Christ on the cross. He assures that just as the Israelites were healed by looking at the serpent, anyone who turns their gaze to Jesus will find immediate healing from the venom of sin. Spurgeon encourages those burdened by their transgressions to recognize that there is hope in Christ, who died for real sinners. He affirms that this act of looking is not for the healthy but for those who are spiritually wounded, promising that all who look to Jesus will live in holiness and communion with God. The call to 'look and live' serves as a reminder of the simplicity and power of faith in Christ.

Ii Kings 5:13
By Chuck Smith02KI 5:13ISA 1:18EZK 18:30LUK 5:31JHN 3:17ROM 7:18Chuck Smith preaches on the story of Naaman, illustrating how leprosy symbolizes sin, which is incurable by human efforts and progressively fatal. Despite Naaman's honorable status as a captain, he was still a leper, highlighting that no amount of personal achievement can save us from sin. The sermon emphasizes the simplicity of God's grace, as Naaman was initially insulted by the prophet's instructions but ultimately found healing by obeying the command to wash in the Jordan. Smith warns against pride and the tragedy of missing out on salvation due to unwillingness to accept God's simple solution. The message encourages listeners to trust in God's grace and take the step to be cleansed.
