"Living for Jesus" - Summary - Authority, Healing, and the Mission of Discipleship Introduction: The Power and Purpose of Discipleship This sermon explores the profound themes of authority, healing, and mission as presented through biblical narratives and teachings. Central to this discussion are key concepts such as the authority of disciples, the kingdom of God, and the obligation to serve. These ideas are woven together by examining two pivotal scriptural stories: the healing of Naaman in the Hebrew Testament and Jesus sending out the 72 disciples in the New Testament. The significance of this content lies in understanding how believers are empowered to serve and proclaim God’s kingdom, even amid challenges, and how faith translates into action.
