Sermon Summary: Cleansing the Lepers Part 2

This powerful message invites listeners to move beyond head knowledge of Scripture and into a deep, personal relationship with Christ. While the study is rooted in Leviticus, the true aim is to find Jesus on every page—not just in doctrine, but in daily life, suffering, cleansing, and relationship.

Drawing from Leviticus 14 and John 15, the message unpacks the cleansing ritual for a healed leper—two birds, cedarwood, scarlet thread, and hyssop—and shows how each element prophetically points to Christ’s redemptive work on the cross. The sermon also contrasts external religion with the internal abiding life of the Spirit, calling believers to intimacy, obedience, and true spiritual transformation.
