This podcast is from the message on Sunday Nov 2nd 2025 with Pastor Travis from the series titled The Bashful The Bold & The Ugly.

Mark 1:35-39 (NKJV)
35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a [a]solitary place; and there He prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. 37 When they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 38 But He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth.”
39 And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons.

Mark 1:40 (NKJV)
40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Mark 1:41 (NKJV)
41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

Mark 1:43-44 (NKJV)
43 And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Mark 1:45 (NKJV)
45 However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

Action Items (Mark 1:40-45)
1. Replace Hesitation with Invitation
This week, replace hesitation with invitation. Write down one area of your life where you’ve doubted God’s willingness. Each morning, pray: “Lord, You are willing. Touch this area of my life with Your compassion.”
2. Be God’s Touch of Compassion
Be the hand that Jesus extended. If Jesus lives in you, His compassion can flow through you. Reach out to one person this week who feels untouchable offer a kind word, a meal, or a call, something that says, “You’re not forgotten.”
