Part 7: Healing

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." Healing is complex and each one of us comes to it with different experiences and expectations. At times, it's awe-inducing and often breathtakingly personal. And sometimes it's gut-wrenching and feels hopeless. But still, God invites us to ask for healing. In the Scriptures and through the life of Jesus, we see that healing feels like hoping, confronting, waiting, and laughing. We simply get to ask and watch how God responds.

Part 6: Prophecy

From the series "Demonstrating the Gospel." Deep down each of us long for a God who is not only wise or powerful but a God who is deeply personal. We long for a God who speaks.

Part 7: Live in a Way That Begs the Question

From the series "Preaching The Gospel." Our fifth and final best practice for preaching the gospel is to simply bear witness: to live in a way that begs the question.
