In previous sermons and series, we’ve talked about all of the ways that life hurts us and discussed the importance of purpose. This week, as we kick off a new year and combine these two ideas, we can offer this fresh perspective on past events: there was a purpose for your pain, and there is a purpose in your healing. You did not suffer for nothing. The hurt, offense, betrayal, grief or abuse was not caused by God, but it can be used by Him for His honor and His glory. Not only can God get the glory from you being healed, He can also use your healing to help others. Pastor John is going to show us the Cycle of Healing, a biblical principle that – when applied – will help propel us into the future that God has for us.
