Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Mar 1, 2022

The Church And Healing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Healing has been a Christian weapon to destroy the works of the devil from the beginning. Some form of healing should always be a part of the ministry of the church.

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

When Jesus preached in the synagogue of His home town of Nazareth, the people were skeptical of His claims, and His power.

Spiritual Healing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

So much sickness is psychosomatic, that is, it is in the body but caused by a mind filled with guilt. The cause is spiritual, and so a real healing must also be spiritual. This can only come from Christ.

Lesson 32. In Physical Needs (James 5:14-15) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2021

I will attempt to show from 1 Corinthians 12:9[1] and 28[2] and Galatians 3:5[3] that gifts of healings were intended for the church in Paul’s day and our day. However, the New Testament does not talk about THE gift of healing.

The Altar Of Worship Series

Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 20, 2021

Heaven’s Healing Hand

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 14, 2021

Divine healing is not all about becoming well, nor is it becoming what we were, rather it is becoming what God intends for us to be. Today's study looks at the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, and then how God goes about healing us today.

Keep On Singing

People all over the world love to sing. It’s a mood lifter & anti-depressant with no side effects. Singing isn’t an option in Scripture. It’s a command. When we sing, we declare war against our adversary.

Not What We Expected

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jul 9, 2018
