“Naaman in this story keeps trying to go to the top. God keeps sending him to the bottom. God will only speak to him through servants. He’s going to make Naaman bathe in a nasty creek. You see, the path to God is the path of humility, and you can’t get there any other way. The one thing that you absolutely need when you come to God is need.” — J. D. Greear
In this podcast, J. D. Greear preaches from 2 Kings 5:1–18 on the story of the healing of Naaman and the servant girl who introduced him to the God of Israel. You can find a video version, along with sermon notes, on the Summit Church website.
