PAID IN FULL

A friend of mine is in his mid 50's... He and his wife have spent their lives raising a couple of great kids, (now some grand kids), investing in the spiritual formation of students across several state lines, providing exceptional leadership to pastors and their wives, preaching the gospel, and generally just setting a great example of what a "Christ-like" life looks like in blue jeans and shoe leather...

Recently, his wife was diagnosed with cancer. It's serious. Really serious. Right now, she is undergoing a series of chemotherapy treatments. She just finished her sixth round, with several more to go... In the middle of the chemo, they're trusting God for a miracle... Their faith and trust in the middle of this crisis blows me away...

Another friend of mine is in his early 70's... Killer guy! (The kind of guy I want to be when I grow up.) He has helped to build more than 140 churches around the world. In fact, the number is probably up close to 200 by now. He has helped renovate or repair the buildings of dozens of struggling churches domestically. He took early retirement from his job in his mid 50's and started a non-profit...

Recently, he experienced some pain in his abdominal area, followed by additional symptoms... After going to the doctor, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Once again, it's serious. Really serious. He and his wife are believing God for a miracle. I talked with him for about an hour a few days ago... If you could put a grade level on faith, this guy is in Graduate School. I'm still in kindergarten...

I could go on... Sometimes it all feels like a song stuck on "repeat" on my mp3 player... People like you... People like me.... The stories... The pain... The questions... The longing... The faith... The trust... The deep-seated belief that God still does miracles...

This Sunday we'll talk about it... What does the Bible say about healing?

Without a doubt, it was one of the most prolific themes in the ministry of Jesus. Throughout his ministry, Jesus recognized that we have a substantial need to be healed: emotionally, relationally, physically, spiritually, you name it...

This weekend we'll look at what the Bible has to say about healing... We'll also have a special opportunity for prayer.

Invite a friend to join you this Sunday at a2 Church... Maybe you, a friend or family member is struggling physically, emotionally, relationally or spiritually... We really believe that the cross covered it all. Your redemption really is PAID IN FULL.
