Dirty, 2

April 10, 2023
When Jesus healed the leper - there was no crowd with Him.  The crowd had dispersed - most likely because they saw the leper and were afraid to be near him.  Not only were they afraid to touch a leper - they did not even want to be down-wind of him for fear of catching the awful disease.  But Jesus was not afraid of disease. Jesus was not afraid of touching the leper. Jesus was not afraid to get dirty.  He takes dirty people like you and me - and gives us dignity.

We tend to think in the same groove, and that groove becomes our default button. As a believer, if you hear the Word of God and it does not put down roots, it will get choked off by this world and its system. The overwhelming cares and stress will enter in and choke you, to the point where you cannot see reality. Your perception becomes clouded. But we have a higher life in Jesus Christ, and this is where we must put our roots. We must think in this groove.

The devil communicates his values to the Christian through the world system. It is a very subtle invasion of the Christian's life that affects most believers. He speaks lies that are custom-made for each believer. Simply stated - the devil hates God so he hates you. He wants to ruin your life and will destroy you if he can. I wage war on satan and his lies by hiding the Word of God in my heart to counteract those lies and the work of the devil. God's Word does a wonderful job of destroying the old and rebuilding the new.

Everywhere Jesus Christ went there was transformation. When Jesus Christ comes into a human life, something extraordinary is supposed to happen. Something transformational is supposed to happen. That doesn't mean we're done struggling; we are always in the process of conforming into the image of Christ - but it means that something is different about our life. So we must ask ourselves this question - just what difference has His coming made in my life?

About Tim Kelley

Tim Kelley, at the age of 18, surrendered his life and heart to Jesus Christ. After receiving his degree in Biblical Studies, he relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida. In July of 1989 he became the senior pastor of Grace Connection Church and launched a local radio broadcast called “Grace Thoughts”, a daily radio program broadcast in the Tampa Bay region http://wtis1110.com/ and is now heard at www.oneplace.com. Pastor Kelley is now in his 33th year in public ministry here in the Tampa Bay area. He is an avid sports fan of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and the Boston Celtics. As you may have guessed, our pastor grew up in New England in the Plymouth Mass. area. Pastor Kelley’s two greatest and heartfelt passions are teaching and preaching a clear gospel of God’s grace and its impact in our daily lives, as well as his love and compassion for people (even if they are not New England Fans).  Pastor Kelley has a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies and is currently pursuing a second Masters in Counseling, graduating in May 2013.  He is happily married to his beautiful wife of 27 years, Peggy. They have one child at home, Sadie Lynne.  Their beautiful daughter Hannah Grace, in February 2012, went home to be with the Lord, due to a firearm mishap after a church service. Pastor Kelley and Peggy have started the Hannah Grace Foundation in memory of their daughter, which raises funds for the housing, care and education of children and young adults, here locally in the Tampa Bay region, throughout America as well as the third world.
