CONTEXT IS KEY

Forward City Church

In this powerful sermon by Pastor Micahn Carter, we explore the importance of understanding the context behind Jesus' words. It's not just about what Jesus said, but why, where, and how He said it. These details make all the difference in how we can apply His teachings to our lives today.

Jesus is calling you to experience something greater than just physical healing. In Luke 5:12-13, when the man with leprosy asks for healing, Jesus doesn't hesitate.

But Jesus doesn’t stop at healing your body—He wants to make you whole. In Luke 5:18-24, we see Jesus healing not just a paralyzed man's legs, but his heart and soul. The religious people of the time were too focused on tradition to understand God’s sudden, powerful work—but Jesus still made him whole.

Jesus wants to use you. In Luke 5:27-32, He calls Levi, a tax collector, to follow Him without hesitation or shame. No matter what your past looks like, Jesus is calling you to step into your purpose. 

This message is a wake-up call: It’s time to stop skimming over the Bible and start truly understanding it. Context is key to unlocking the power of Jesus’ words and experiencing everything He has for your life.
