Brother Tim Banna explores the healing of the leper in Luke 5, illustrating how physical leprosy mirrors the devastating effects of sin. He calls listeners to behold Christ’s majesty and find restoration through the grace of our Leper-Cleansing Lord.

• 1Every human is born with a terminal spiritual disease called sin that leads to eternal death apart from Christ.
• 2True worship requires a balance of trembling reverence for God's majesty and intimate friendship with Christ.
• 3Jesus is the sovereign 'I AM' who holds authority over creation, death, and the cleansing of the human heart.
• 4Believers are 'recovering lepers' who still need daily grace and the support of the church body to resist the hardening of sin.
• 5The Gospel is the story of a holy God entering our 'leper colony' of a world to take our curse upon Himself.
