Series – Hope, Health & Healing
Are you willing to be a healer?
Pastor Tyronne Gross, Jr.
Main Text: Matthew 9:35-38
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
A World in Need of Healing
Biblical Healing: To make solid or whole. The restoration of health, the making whole or well whether physically, mentally, or spiritually. Salvation as healing. Seeing God as our main source for healing. God is a healer, God wants us to be healed, and God leads us to healing.
