On "New You Sunday," Matthew begins a series on a theme taken from Ezekiel 18:31 ("Make you a new heart and a new Spirit.") Every day, our goal should be to make within ourselves a new commitment to God.
In the first sermon of this series, we see six life lessons we can learn from one of the lepers healed by Jesus in Luke 17:11-19:
- You have a deadly problem that only Jesus can fix.
- You must admit your need and cry out to Jesus.
- God's power is not released until you step out in faith.
- It is good to spend time at the feet of Jesus.
- Feeling thankful is different than giving thanks.
- Let Jesus finish what he started in you.

In this sermon taken from Acts 5:12-39, Matthew provides us with three points that we, as a Biblical community, should embrace:
- Where God is moving and working, there will always be healing.
- We should not be surprised when obeying God brings us into situations of conflict and opposition.
- Choose to be part of an unstoppable force.
