by Site Moderator Posted: Monday, 3/24/2014

Frank Camarillo’s sermon on “Touched by the Master” centered on the story of the leper being cleansed by Jesus.  To begin Frank asked 3 three questions: 1. How many have met Jesus personally, 2. How many have been touched by Jesus, and 3. How many have experienced an event that has changed their lives (with Jesus).  Frank then expanded the story of the leper by filling in the probable details of his life, the discovery of leprosy, his life as a leper, and his healing by Jesus.  The sermon was concluded with a call for those that needed healing to come to the altar for prayer. Nathan Lawson led the prayer.
