Sermon edited as a home group bible study
Healing: Peter Laughlin started his sermon about Healing with a very specific text: The “I am the Lord who heals you” in Ex 15:26b is one of God’s names “Yahweh Raffa”
Exodus 15:26b He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”
Is this an “If / Then statement?”
What are the conditions set?
What is the response, if the conditions are met?
Many texts on healing:
Isaiah 53:4-6
Matt 8:14-17
Mark 6:4-6
Read John 5:1-14 Was this man more deserving than the others? What about all the others around the pool? Is there a bigger agenda here? (Read John 5:19)
Peter mentioned that “theory is one thing, but experience is another”
What should our response be when we do not get healed, even when we earnestly pray and especially if we have fulfilled all the conditions set in Exodus 15:26b?
The Atonement on the Cross is God’s solution to bring Shalom into a broken world. We know that God Heals but why does He walk past us to heal somebody else?
Matthew 10:7-8
Matthew 28:19-20
1 Cor 2:4-5
John 17:3
Gal 2:20
Phil 3:20
Eph 2:1-10
Col 3:1-3
Comment on ‘Now’ and “not yet” and “All Healing is temporary”
