Divine Healing Is God’s Will

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 15, 2022

We should expect to be healed because God is a healing God, the Garden of Eden shows God's perfect will is no sickness, Christ atoned for our healing, and Jesus regularly healed the sick and called others to do the same.

DIVINE HEALING IS GOD’S WILL Mt. 4:23-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE REAL CHARACTER 1. It’s wild to see the real nature come out. 2. 2 ladies went out to a restaurant to eat lunch They know how big the portions are so they order only one dish of ‘fried fish pieces’ which they intend to share. ...read more

A Thorn In The Flesh

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

We know that God is able to heal, but sometimes we aren’t healed. This message looks at one possible reason why, as we examine an illness that the apostle Paul wrestled with for most of his Christian life - his "thorn in the flesh."

This evening we are going to look at a passage of Scripture that is related to the subject matter of healing. In the Scripture we discover that our God is a God of healing. He says in Exodus 15:26, “I am the Lord who heals you.” We also read that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, heals us as well, for ...read more

The Power Of Forgiveness Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 18, 2014

This section proves that our Great Physician is ruler over the moral realm also. While ridding a man of physical illness, He also wields the power to deliver him from sin, the root of all the world’s evils.

MATTHEW 9: 1-8 [THE MESSIAH REVEALED SERIES] THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS [Psalm 103:1-14 / Mk. 2:3-12, Lk. 5:18-26] The third miracle in the 2nd triplet of miracles is the healing of the paralytic.

"Do You Wanna Get Well?

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 28, 2018

In this message we look at a question that on the surface is quite odd. I mean if you had been lame for 38 years and someone asked you if you wanted to be well, would that be a difficult question? Perhaps it is harder than we first realize.

“Do you want to be well? John 5:1-17 In our recent study in Nehemiah I showed you this picture of what the wall looked like that Nehemiah and the builders constructed around Jerusalem. This picture shows 10 gates that were used to gain entrance to the city. Each gate had a specific ...read more

Jesus Was Acquainted With Grief Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 7, 2024

Jesus Christ was acquainted with grief. Every day in Roman-occupied Judea there would have been executions, and crucifixions just as Jesus suffered. Grief would have been all around.

In the last post, I concentrated on Jesus being a man of sorrows, so this post will concentrate on Jesus being acquainted with grief. First of all, as always, I check to see what the Old Testament Hebrew words are to make sure that I am interpreting the prophet's words correctly. In this verse, ...read more

All Who Touch Him Are Healed

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 17, 2025

One-fifth of the 4 Gospels speak of Jesus' healing ministry. Not only did He heal people, but He trained and empowered His disciples to heal people, and gave that same commission to the Church. Are we following in His footsteps?

ALL WHO TOUCH HIM ARE HEALED Mt. 14:36 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR I thought I broke my ankle the other night when I tripped over a Kleenex box, but the doctor said it was only tissue damage. B. TEXT “And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People ...read more

A Prayer For The Dark/Sick Times In Life (Psalm 6) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

When prayer is unanswered, God isn't saying "no." God just isn't listening. God gives this psalm, to encourage you to get his attention.

We continue our very sporadic study of the book of Psalms today, by working through Psalm 6. Now, this is a psalm that deals with, among other things, sickness and healing. So some of you are going to wonder if this psalm was chosen deliberately, because we've spent a lot of time talking, and ...read more

The Via Dolorosa – The Universality Of Suffering (5/12) Series

Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Jun 17, 2020

Suffering is universal. Everyone experiences it. None escape it. It is part and parcel of the human condition. Many Evangelicals love to focus on “health/wealth/blessings” forgetting to teach the other “side of the coin”. As such people are ill-equipped to deal with life’s many harsh blows.

Message by Pr. Eddie Fernandes Introduction Hold On Video (lights off…video begins…video ends…lights on…Eddie & Marta on stage) Hold on!

"I'm Tired Of Pretending To Be Something I'm Not"

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 12, 2002

This message contrasts Jesus’ call to repentance with the world’s call to ’find some good in your heart.’

- Concerning how we should look into our heart, there is a huge difference between the messages we receive from our society and from Jesus. - Today’s consistent message on looking into your heart is “Have self-esteem.” (That is, find the good in your heart; emphasize the reasons to like ...read more
