Worship Services

Suffering is not necessarily caused by sin.

Not everyone is healed physically

• Some don't believe (see Mark 6:1-6)
• Some believe and still aren't healed (see 2 Cor.12:7-10)
• Some will be healed only in the resurrection (see Revelation 21:1-4)

Jesus healed the man born blind

• Jesus healed with his spit: (see also Deaf & Mute Man -Mark 7:31-37; Blind Man at Bethsaida -Mark 8:22-26)
• Jesus healed with his touch: (see also Mark 6:5; Luke 4:40; the Crippled Woman -Luke 13:10-13; the Man with Leprosy -Luke 5:12-13; servant of the high priest -Luke 22:51)
• Jesus healed with his commands: "GO" (see also the Centurion's servant -Matthew 8:5-13; Blind Bartimaeus -Mark 10:46-52; Ten Healed of Leprosy -Luke 17:14-19; "COME OUT OF HIM" -Mark 9:25; "STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND" -Mark 3:1-5; "GET UP" The Paralytic -Mark 5:41-42; the widow's son -Luke 7:11-15; Man at the Pool of Bethsaida -John 5:1-15; "COME OUT" Lazarus -John 11:38-44)
• Jesus healed with the man's faith: (he went and washed)

Some claim to see, but are spiritually blind

• The Pharisees confronted the man born blind (John 9:13-34)
• Jesus confronted the blind Pharisees (John 9:39-41; see also Matthew 23:16-26)

All of us are partially blind

• We begin life focused on ourselves
• Sin keeps us from really seeing others, and especially God
• We see only a little of all that God wants us to see (1 Cor. 13:12)

All of us can be healed

• We can be healed in body, mind emotions and in our relationships.
• Jesus is constantly seeking us (John 9:35)
• God's grace is offered to us all.
• Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2Corinthians 12:9)
• His Amazing Grace is offered to us all.

Ask in Prayer for God's healing touch (and always give thanks)
