That Paul says he has a holy obligation to God in these verses ought to cause us to think for ourselves – am I under any such obligation to God? Yes, all believers are obligated to thank God. Why? To answer this, we must first answer why Paul feels an obligation of gratitude to God as he thinks of the Thessalonians. Why does Paul sense a duty to give thanks to God?

  1. For God’s Grace in General
  2. For God’s Spiritual Work in Believers
  3. For God’s Answering Prayer

Luke has written his gospel so that believers may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.
He has carefully crafted a story about Jesus, and with great skill has shown us that Jesus of Nazareth was far from an ordinary man.
In today’s brief story of the healing of the leper, Luke with a dense, rich story adds even more to our understanding of who Jesus is.
In so doing, God’s Word also speaks to how men should approach Jesus.

In God’s providence, two boats rested on or near the shore of the Sea of Galilee One of them belonged to Simon Peter. In this important story of Peter’s call to discipleship, Peter’s boat becomes almost a character in itself. In each segment of this account, the boat has a role to play. the story in part is about a boat, and even more so about peter’s calling to follow Jesus and work for him. But this story is, once again, most about our Lord Jesus.

  1. A Boat as Christ’s Pulpit
  2. Two Boats under Christ’s Power
  3. No Boat in Christ’s Promise
