Luke 5:12-26 Sin and Sickness

April 9, 2018

In Luke 5:12-26, Jesus engages in two miracles of healing. First, there was the leper, who, under normal circumstances, would be unable to even approach Jesus. They were unclean and regarded as a leper largely because of their sins. Jesus called this same person to Himself in order to heal the sickness and disease. Moreso, Jesus ordered the leper to present himself to the priests to verify the miracle and the forgiveness. Immediately after this story, Luke continues with the well known story of the paralyzed man, lowered from the roof. Knowing that he was being watched by the Pharisees and the scribes of the law, Jesus took the opportunity to put the fullness of his presence and personhood to the crowd.

Nobody Special 029: Finding God in Parkland, Politics, and Pain

February 23, 2018

This week, the boys of Nobody Special do everything in their power to not land a joke. Caleb and Danny discuss everything going on in the world today from Selfies to Space and what we do on the weekends. Saturday is for the boys but Sunday is for the Lord. Caleb and Danny look at the Sabbath and the effects of both taking one and not taking one. They discuss their own past struggles with taking a sabbath and give encouraging advice on how to best take one.

Then its quiz time! Caleb has to figure out if quotes are from Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard or from rapper Kanye West. It is oddly much harder than you think it would be.

Happy February everyone going through some form of True Love Waits.

Luke 4:31-44 The Authority To Heal

November 20, 2017

For all the attempts to relegate the authority of Jesus Christ, each one would submit the Sovereign King to outside authority, a move that Jesus did not need to make. Jesus is King over all. No one, whether spiritual force or personal presence is able to override the authority of the Lord. When the people in the synagogues heard Jesus teach, their spirit resonated with the understanding that they were hearing true authority. They were hearing the authentic word of God spoken by the mouth of God, made plain to them. Thus, as Jesus was approached with opportunities to heal, there was no issue in doing so. Jesus had the authority that belongs to God alone to heal sickness and command the demons and spiritual dark forces. Jesus had the authority to make the broken people whole.

Masks: Put Together

October 18, 2016

With the recent trend of scary clowns, people have become more and more aware of the presence of masks. As these clowns, masquerading as something they are not, wander the streets late at night, they are able to instill a sense of fear into those around them. Yet, to be perfectly honest, no one actually believes…

Broken Part 2: Powerlessness Gives Way To Godly Power

April 11, 2016

At the beginning of creation, we were made to have dominion over the world. We were made to rule over the creation that God had given to those who bore the divine image of God. Being made in the image of God granted us the rights and authority from God. We were given the task of…
