Here are some questions to ponder with this sermon. -Naaman had pride that kept him from God. What is your thing that keeps you from God or being healed by God? -Who are the people in your life that speak truth like the servant girl? -Who speaks truth like Elisha? -What do you do if you don’t like what they say? -How can you listen better and 'hear' the truth enough to be transformed? -Ask God to reveal your pride this week in prayer and in conversations. -Look for that person of faith that will speak truth into your doubts, fears, or pain so that you can begin to experience the healing power of God this week.
