Forest Brook Community Church

Howard Russell is Chair of the Elders here at Forest Brook Community Church. He brings to us a word on Love and Obedience!

Donna Moss, our Care Pastor, will be leas us through 3 New Testament passages, as we learn about  how our community of faith can play an important role in healing.  And she will be joined by individuals who are part of our Celebrate Recovery Ministry who are going to share how community is important for them in the healing they are experiencing through Celebrate Recovery.

We know that God can heal. We don’t doubt that. Occasionally we even see evidence of it in our own lives or the lives of others we know. Yet we also know of many Christians who live with on-going illness (mental, physical, emotional and spiritual) who don’t seem to be able to find full relief and recovery from their struggle. Why is that? Is this something we have become accustomed to, perhaps believing falsely that such suffering is God’s will for us? Have we become too timid in our prayers for healing? Do we suffer from unbelief – lacking faith in God’s compassion and goodness? Perhaps now is a good time to review the Scriptures on this subject and see.
