Healing the Sick
It seems as though everyone in the early church was miraculously healed, either by the Lord or the Apostles. But this was not always the case as we see here in these verses. In these verses Epaphroditus was healed, but it was not a miraculous, instantaneous healing as is recorded so many times in the…

Why Do Christians Get Sick
(2 Corinthians 4:13-18) We talk a lot about sickness and healing in church as Christians. And the bible shows HEAPS of examples where the Lord and the apostles walked amongst the people healing the sick. So it raises the question today, why do Christians get sick? I see churches who run healing meetings at and…

Healing Hands
(Acts 28:7-10) One of the foundations of Christianity includes laying on of hands. There were six key foundational concepts recorded in the book of Hebrews. We see these foundations defined in Hebrews 6:1-2. 1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance…

Healing in a Virtual World
(Acts 19:11-12) There is a practice in the church that The Lord has provided for His people to enable them to be healed of disease or other afflictions.

Mistaken for Gods
(Acts 14:8-18) This section of scripture has two very interesting insights. Paul and Barnabas had come to lustration and one of the first things they did as they were preaching the word was to heal a man who was a crippled from birth. It was this action that caused the people of Lystra to mistake…

Miracles of Faith in a Virtual World
(Acts 5:12-16) We live in a virtual world these days. Much of what we do and how we connect with one another is done online.

The Power of Jesus Name
(Acts 3:1-16) As Peter and John came to the temple at the hour of prayer, they came upon a beggar laying at the temple gate seeking alms from the people. This beggar had not asked to be healed but simply looked at Peter and John asking them in the hope they may give him some…

Faith is More Important than Knowledge
(John 9:6-12) Sometimes the Lord may ask us to do the strangest things. Sometimes we may think, “Surely he is not serious? He must be joking?” There were many times in the Bible where we see the Lord say to His people to do something that just seemed to be…well, strange. But in all of…

You’re Not Listening…
(John 5:1-9) Do you ever get told off by someone else for not listening? I know I do! So often we do not hear what is being said because we are not listening. Well it just doesn't happen with our families and friends, but too often we don't hear the Lord because we are not…

Persistence Pays Off
(Luke 18:35-43) Persistence is critical to your walk with Jesus. We are at war in the spiritual realm and the devil will throw all kinds of things in your way to block you from walking wholeheartedly with Jesus Christ. But you cannot allow those things to stand in your way and to drag you down.…

Jesus Heals the Ten Lepers
(Luke 17:11-19) The parable of the ten lepers shows us several things. It speaks of faith, healing and gratitude. It also shows us that you cannot always know who it is that will most likely be the one that comes to the Lord. And in his lesson we need to recognise that all good things…
