Washed Clean
June 27, 2009 (Weekend Service)
Naaman, a valiant soldier and highly regarded, had difficulty humbling himself before God and obeying the instructions of the prophet Elisha whom he had contacted about curing his leprosy--especially the relatively simple act of washing himself seven times in the Jordan River. When Naaman finally obeyed, he was healed. All too often those who have put their trust in God sometimes face the same reservation of humbling themselves in whatever simple act God has asked us to do. With an emphasis on Willow's upcoming Baptism service, this message reinforces the need to get past the pride and arrogance and to take a step of spiritual courage into the simple, but significant, act of Baptism.
