Healing That Revealed Legalism | Portland Community Church | Guest Speaker Dan Sides
Channel: pdxcommunitychurch
Date: 2022-05-29

Sermon Overview:
A typical definition of legalism is something like “trying
to earn God’s favor by keeping the rules,” but if we take a
deeper look at legalism, we find the real offense: trusting
ourselves and our own efforts rather than trusting in God’s
power. We have a Father in Heaven that is crazy about us and
longs to heal us with His tender power, but when we try to fix
ourselves, we insulate ourselves from His grace.

 In John 5, we read the account of a man that had been
disabled for 38 years, always hoping that he might be able to
heal himself. We also read about the Jewish authorities
demanding that their interpretation of the law for the Sabbath
be kept.

 So often, we don’t think that we are smart enough,
skinny enough, wealthy enough, good enough, etc., etc. We try
so hard to fix ourselves, all the while forgetting that the power
that crafted the universe and healed the invalid is also
available to us. Jesus loves us dearly and wants to drench us in
His grace and heal us in ways that we cannot fathom.
