In this sermon, the Rev. Nick VanHorn explores the difference between being "cured" and being "well," challenging the notion of God as a transactional vending machine. Drawing from the Gospel story of the ten lepers and personal experiences, he reveals how gratitude and faith can bring healing even in moments of pain, trauma, and uncertainty.

This sermon was preached at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem, NC on October 12, 2025 for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost.
