Perfectly whole

James Gudgeon November, 30 2025 Video & Audio
Exodus 15; Matthew 14:36
The sermon centers on Christ's arrival in Gennesaret, a fertile and populated region symbolizing both abundance and the lingering effects of sin, where He heals the sick and demonstrates His divine authority as the Prince of Peace and fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Drawing from the miracle of the loaves and the storm at sea, the preacher emphasizes that Christ's presence brings deliverance amid life's trials, revealing His sovereignty over nature, opposition, and human suffering. The people of Gennesaret, recognizing His power, bring the sick to Him, not through ritual or magic, but through faith—reaching out to touch the hem of His garment as an act of humble trust, which results in complete healing. This act of faith, rooted in personal testimony and the recognition of Christ's identity, underscores that salvation is not earned but received through a living, active trust in His person and power. The sermon concludes with a call to personal faith: though others may bring us to Christ, only we can reach out in belief, and in that moment of faith, we too are made perfectly whole.
