Healing
Text: Mark 10:46-52
In the New Testament, we see Jesus regularly healing people. Is this something that we can expect to see now?
Sermon Specific
1) In the bible, healing is something that we see regularly - especially in Jesus’ life. What has been your experience with healing and the topic of healing within the church? What has been taught? Is praying for healing something that you’re comfortable with or not? Explain.
2) Phil emphasized the importance of intimacy with Christ during times of illness and pain. Why is this intimacy so important? How have you experienced the closeness of Christ during difficult times? How can we develop intimacy with Christ through pain?
3) God often uses our prayers for non-Christians as a way to introduce them to Christ’s love for them. Is this something you’ve experienced or heard of before? Why do you think praying for healing is a way of showing someone the love of God? Share some ideas about how we can reach out and offer prayer for non-Christians.
4) Phil said that we can ask God the question, “What are You doing in this time of sickness?” Have you ever asked God this question before? What do you believe he said to you?
