This week's sermon in the "Knowing God by Name" series is titled "Jehovah Raffa—the God Who Heals." This name appears in Exodus chapter 15. In this chapter, the newly freed Israelites are traveling to the Promised Land when they run out of water in the dry desert of Shur. Their faith is tested there.

Pastor Keith explains that God can heal us during difficult times. Everyone needs some form of healing at some point in life, whether it’s physical or spiritual. We often find ourselves seeking healing when we face struggles. Even in our pain, bitterness, and hurt, God can make things better. He uses our tough experiences to show us more of Himself.

When we face tough times, remember to hold on to God. Exodus 15:27 says, “Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.” Trust that God will help us and know that He is in control. Believe that after our struggles, He will heal our Marah and prepare Elim for us.
