    • Healing Of The Woman With An Infirmity Of Eighteen Years
      Hidden Motivations
      Luke 13-10-17
      2011-12-11
      SYNOPSIS:All of scripture is about you and me. The reaction of the Ruler of the temple to the healing of the woman with the infirmity of eighteen years on the Sabbath day *exposes* us. The man was hateful and blind because of hidden motivations and passions. Let us look at ourselves and see if we have any of these hidden cockroaches that scurry away from the light so that we are not aware of them: anger, jealousy, ambition, pride, and a host of others. We must work intensely to have the light of Christ shine on our hidden motivations or else we will never be healed.

    • Healing Of The Woman With An Infirmity Of Eighteen Years
      Thou Art Loosed From Thine Infirmity Kindness Saves Us
      Luke 13-10-17
      2014-12-08
      SYNOPSIS:We hear glorious words today, that every Christian should be earnestly expecting: "thou art loosed from thine infirmity" The woman with the infirmity of 18 years could not look up - she was earthbound because of sin. So are we. We must feel our infirmity and desire to stand up straight! Unfortunately, many people do not feel their infirmity, and therefore do not expect to be loosed from it. We must cultivate this feeling. The aftermath of the healing of this woman shows us the major sin which keeps us from knowing our infirmity and seeking the healing of God - unkindness. The ruler of the synagogue knew all the commandments save the most important two, and the second will especially save us. If we cannot stop sinning, we must at least be kind, and God will loose us from our infirmities.

      SYNOPSIS:The healing of the woman with the spirit of infirmity for 18 years has 2 important lessons that stand out for us. The first is that we are also bent over, so should we should identify with the woman and everyone suffering. In the second is that since we are bent over, we should at least be kind. The great sin of the Pharisees was that they had no kindness. A person cannot be saved if they are not kind.
