Accepting the Lord’s
Will and Timing; Wounded
Personal Study: Jesus Christ came not to condemn sinners but to heal them.
How did Jesus view
sinners, compared to how Simon the Pharisee saw them, or compared to how you
see them?
Luke 7:36–50 Woman who anointed Jesus feet with oil and bathed them with her tears. What gratitude have you shown for your forgiveness and redemption? For His mercy?
John 3:17 Jesus was sent to save us, not to condemn us.
Luke 9:51–56 Jesus doesn’t want to destroy our lives, but to bless them and save us.
Personal Study: Being a disciple of Jesus Christ means that I
put Him first in my life.
What sacrifices can
you make to more fully put your Heavenly Father and His Son first in your life?
Luke 9:57–62
Once we covenant with Jesus to follow Him, that should be our first priority.
Personal Study: Jesus Christ has power to bring peace in the
midst of life’s storms.
How has the Lord
save you from perishing? Do you have examples from your life?
Mark 4:35–41
Four questions:
Master, carest thou not that we perish?
Why are ye so fearful?
How is it that ye have no faith?
What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
How has the Savior
brought you peace during the storms of your life?
Family Study: Notice the
Miracles
Videos: “Widow of Nain” and
“Calming the Tempest”
Family Study: How did the
centurion show faith? Do you have that faith?
Matthew
8:5–13; Luke
7:1–10 The centurion did not need to see the miracle happen to belief
there’d be a miracle.
Family Study: Faith to be
healed is also faith to be forgiven.
Videos: “The man that could not walk” and “Jesus forgives sins and heals
a man stricken with palsy”
Are you a friend that lifts others up and helps them get the help that
they need? Do you do this for yourself? Are you ministering? Are you inviting
others to Come unto Christ?
Family Study: Peace, Be Still
Jesus can calm the trouble seas and quiet the storms in our lives.
Mark 4 verse 39 And
he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Master, the Tempest Is Raging
“No harm can befall the ship where lies the Master of Ocean and Earth and Skies.”
If Jesus is with us, we will be protected.

Jesus
heals a leper, cures the centurion’s servant and others, stills the tempest,
and casts out devils—The devils enter a herd of swine.
Vs 2-3 If we have faith that
Jesus can heal us and it is God's will, and we ask in faith, we will be healed.
Vs 5-13 Jesus's love and mercy are over all the children of the earth.
Even though the centurion wasn't of the House of Israel, he had faith. He
didn't need to see the miracle to believe that Jesus would perform it.
We need to know that His power to heal is for everyone who seeks
it with faith in Him.
Vs 14-15 Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law. Peter was
married.
Vs 16-17 Jesus cast out
devils. Not only does He forgive us of our sins, but He takes upon Himself our
sicknesses and infirmities
Vs 19-22 Are we willling
to give up all to follow Jesus? Are we willing to trust in Eternity in the
midst of the temporary?
Vs 24-27 The winds and the
waves obey His will.
Vs 28-32 Evil spirits know
who Jesus is and they are still subject to obey Him. We have agency to choose,
but one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the
Christ.

Jesus
forgives sins, heals a paralytic, eats with tax gatherers and sinners, and
announces that He is Lord of the Sabbath.
Vs 5-12 Jesus greatest
healing is in the forgiveness of sins. If we have faith for a physical healing,
we also have faith to be healed spiritually. I love Jesus. He has done this for
me. I heard the voice of the Lord speak in my mind ,"You sins are
forgiven," when I was praying and searching in my grief over Robby.
Vs 14-17 Jesus called Levi or Matthew. The Jews didn't
care for the tax collectors and such. They judged Jesus for eating at his house
with publicans and sinners. Jesus came to teach, bless and heal, not to
condemn.
Vs 27-28 The sabbath was
instituted for our welfare and benefit. Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath has given
us a perfect example of how to keep it. Too many rules imposed as check off
lists was never what it was meant to be.

Jesus
heals on the Sabbath day—He chooses and ordains the Twelve Apostles—He asks,
Can Satan cast out Satan?—Jesus speaks of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost and
identifies those who believe as being members of His family.
Vs 2-6 Doing good on the Sabbath
is what we should do. Jesus healed the sick, comforted the downtrodden, and did
the things of God and godliness. Because he didn't adhere to the letter of the
Jewish law, the leaders wanted to get rid of him.
Vs 9-11 Everyone wanted to
be near Jesus and receive virtue and healing from Him.
Vs 13-19 The Twelve were
ordained by Jesus.
Vs 22-27 All things that
are good come from God.
Vs 28-30 Did these people
know through the Spirit that Jesus was the Christ or a prophet? Then certainly
knew He was a good man, doing good things. He was warning them here not to
blaspheme against the Holy Ghost.
Vs 32-35 We should love
everyone we can and help them to find Christ, so that we can all be of one
family again.

Jesus
gives the parables of the sower, the candle under a bushel, the seed growing
secretly, and the mustard seed—He stills the tempest.
Vs 14-20 Jesus
explained the parable of the sower. It is important for us to take care of our
soil, to offer up broken hearts and contrite spirits, to take care of our faith
and nourish and strengthen our testimony in Jesus Christ by always remembering
Him and doing the works He would have us do.
Vs 21-22 We should do
works of light and be honest and upright. Even if we think the things that we
do in darkness won't be seen, some day they will be manifested.
Vs 23-25 Make sure that
you receive the things of the Spirit by the Spirit. Do not judge wrongfully.
Vs 37-41 Be faithful when
you ask of God. He can turn your fears into faith when you trust in Him. You
know He has blessed you in times past. He will again. Trust in Him.

Jesus
heals the centurion’s servant—Jesus raises from death the son of the widow of
Nain—He praises John the Baptist as more than a prophet—A woman anoints Jesus’
feet, and He forgives her sins.
Vs 6-10 Do you have
faith in the healing power of the Savior, without having to see Him here with
you? Do you have faith that if you ask, He will hear and assist you?
Vs 12-16 Can you imagine
being that mother? She was grieving her dead son, and Jesus brought him back to
life. See what you have to look forward to! He is going to do the same thing
for you.
Vs 19-23 John's disciples
came on his behalf to ask Jesus if He was the Christ. They witnesses His works
and healing power. By their works shall ye know them. He left it for them to
decide. If we are not offended in Jesus Christ, but have faith in Him, we will
also have eyes to see and ears to hear, hearts to understand, and faith to know.
Vs 26-28 Jesus testified
that John was the prophet that came to prepare the way of the Lord. Jesus who
made Himself servant of all is the greatest of all.
Vs 29-30 The humble and repentant are those who seek and
benefit from baptism.
Vs 36-48 If you love your Father in Heaven more, if you
love your Savior more, if you love your friends and neighbors more; your sins
will be forgiven. Learn to truly love.
Vs 49-50 Jesus is the One
to save us, but what else is necessary? Our faith. We are required to have
faith in Him in order to be saved.
