How is it that some people can read a passage, and it be guilt and condemnation and tragedy… and someone else can read the same passage, and it be life, and love, and hope and grace?
In Luke 23 Jesus says "that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations" - and most of us read that as "guilt" when really, we should read it as hope.
In this sermon, we look at the challenging question of "is it God's will to heal everyone?" and why our view on that matters when operating in the gifts of the Spirit.
We often overlook the fact that sandwiched between the two most informative passages we get on "the gifts of the Spirit" is the most far reaching, famous passage about love in the entire Bible. This is intentional.
When we sow into the Kingdom of God, we do it not for what we will get in return, but because of the eternal value of the impact that seed will make is so much bigger than this world or this life.
