Scripture Text: John 20:1-18

If you were to receive a letter in the mail saying that you have a long lost relative who has left you with a million dollars... you would be skeptical. Is this a scam? But that's a lot of money.

Through the Bible Series

Series: Trilogy - Book Two - Cure
Scripture Text: John 17:1-5,20-26

Before the cross, before the resurrection, before the church was born, there was a prayer. A prayer so powerful, so intimate, that it shook the very foundations of heaven and earth.

The King Builds an Army

Through the Bible Series

Series: Trilogy - Book Two - Cure
Scripture Text: John 1:35-42

Jesus came not just preaching the Kingdom but doing the works of the Kingdom.  He healed the sick and cast out demons.  And then he gave that same authority to his disciples.  Question:  Do we still have that authority?  If so, how and when should we be praying for healing and how do we safeguard ourselves from falling into unhealthy extremes?  Those are the questions we will tackle in this message as we look at nine Biblical clues about healing for the church today.
